Towing a Trailer with a 5-Way Trailer Connector with a 2011 Jeep Wrangler that has a 4-Way Connector
Question:
I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/ tow package. The package includes a 4 pin flat plug next to the hitch. I have purchased a Boat that has a 5 pin flat plug. The open pin engages/disengages brake backing up going up incline. What do i need to get this to a 5 pin configuration?

Expert Reply:
You need an adapter that goes from the 4-way trailer connector on the back of your 2011 Jeep Wrangler to a 5-way. We have # 20036 which will do just that.
On one end is a 4-way connector that will plug into your Jeep's along with an extra wire that will need to be spliced into the reverse lights on the Jeep. Then on the other end will be a fully functioning 5-way connector once it's installed.
