Trailer Wiring Harness and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 1989 Jeep Wrangler Sahara
Question:
I have a 1989 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and I need to wire it for trailer lights. Can you point me toward the proper wiring harness, please? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The wiring harness I recommend for your 1989 Jeep Wrangler Sahara is # 18252. There isn't a custom plug and play harness for your Jeep so you'll need to hardwire the 4-way in. This harness includes a circuit tester to help determine the wire functions on your Jeep and find the correct wires.
If you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver on the Jeep the best option we carry is the Curt # 13657. It's a Class III hitch which is gives you a higher towing capacity as well as a larger variety of accessories that will fit.
You'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached a link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch receiver as well as an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop you may need. Once you choose a ball mount you can then choose a hitch ball to fit it.
For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking pin you can use # BX8858.
I've also included links to some articles on towing that you might find helpful.
