I had to buy a special "Dealer Item" plug for mine. Call the dealership.

I've never seen it, Heritage installed mine for free when I bought my Jeep. but basically it has to wire in on the drivers side and I believe it's plug and go... no splicing or anything, but the harness is or at least was a dealer item back in 2005.

I just pulled off the taillights and used a test light. spliced in the new trailer wiring. pretty quick and easy. took longer to remove lights than to check and splice wires.

There is a plug inside the passenger side rear fender. (Inside the plastic cover).


I believe they switched it to the drivers side in 2005, that is where mine is. Vap Can takes up all the space on the passenger side.
