Is Lighting Kit Needed if Using Supplemental Braking When Flat Towing a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee as my flat tow vehicle. If I use the Patriot electric brake when towing, do I also use the brake wiring kit which installs an extra tail light bulb and controlled by the RV?

Yes, you will still need to use a lighting system as well as a supplemental braking system when flat towing a vehicle. I have included a link to the different lighting kits that you can use for your 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee if you do not already have one. I have also included a link to an FAQ article that will help you determine which lighting kit would be best for you.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual on the proper procedure for towing your Jeep.
