Expert Reply:
Sounds like you just need a tester for your Jeep's 7-way, and there is one option I recommend above the rest, which is from Pollak:
- Pollak 7-Way to RV Socket LED Circuit Tester # PK12741
I really like this tester because it is so simple to use; you just plug it into your 7-way and its green LEDs will light up if the functions are working properly. The functions are noted on the tester as well so there will be no confusion as to which circuits are functioning correctly and which may not be.
This is a tester that you plug into your 7-way, so if you were instead needing a more traditional circuit tester for wires then the best option is the Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979.
I have added links below to video reviews of both testers for you to check out as well.
