Expert Answers about Jeep Liberty


  • Installing Curt C55381 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness on 2006 Jeep Liberty.
  • Remove the bolts or screws holding the existing 7-way trailer connector to its bracket, and locate the connector plugged into the rear of the 7-way. Find the red locking tab on the connector, and slide it to the side and pull the connector away from the 7-way plug. The plugs on the # C55381 would plug inline, so plug one end into the harness you unplugged and the other into the back of the 7-way. Be sure to slide those locking tabs back into place. Then, reattach the 7-way to its bracket. The...

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2012 Jeep Liberty w/ Factory 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • Jeep didn't put a brake controller connector under the dash of the 2012 Liberty. To install a brake controller, you will need to a little bit of wiring. The wire Jeep provides is the electric brake output wire that goes back to the 7-Way trailer connector. This wire should be a light green or blue wire that is near the emergency brake pedal or above the kick panel to the left of the emergency brake pedal. It will connect to the blue wire on the brake controller. You will need to wire...

  • Can 4-Way be Added to 2009 Jeep Liberty Which has Tow Bar Wiring
  • Yes, you can absolutely use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118554 on your 2009 Jeep Liberty that has been wired to be towed behind your motorhome so long as your existing wiring does not also plug into the tail lights like this harness. That should not be an issue though because most tow bar wiring, such as the Roadmaster # RM-154 simply gets spliced into your tail light wiring. I've added links to video installs of Wiring Harness # 118554 on similar...

  • How To Install the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit On a 2011 Jeep Liberty
  • In order to install the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13503 on your 2011 Jeep Liberty you will first need to identify which of the two transmission fluid hoses that leads into the radiator is for the return. This can be done by taking a quick trip around the block, grabbing each line with your hand, and feeling which is colder as that would be for the return. Once you have found this return line you will remove it from the radiator and route it to the new...

  • Can Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for 2010 Jeep Liberty be Used with Weight Distribution
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite hitch # 75578 is rated for weight distribution. I've also linked an install video for you. If you also need trailer wiring I recommend the Tekonsha harness, part # 118554. Since you're asking about weight distribution it's fair to believe the trailer you're towing also has brakes so you need a 7-way and brake controller as well. With the 4-way I mentioned you can use our # ETBC7L kit to convert it to a 7-way and then use the Curt Echo brake controller, part # C51180....

  • Installing Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller on 2006 Jeep Liberty with Factory 7-way
  • We don't offer a packaged kit, but we do offer the parts you'd need so you can install the # 90885 P2 into another vehicle and swap them back and forth as needed. I believe the tow package on that gen Liberty had the functioning 7-way with the brake output wire ran up front which terminated somewhere near the emergency brake pedal or behind the driver's side kick panel. In some cases, it's under the carpet near where the firewall and kick panel meet. If that's what you've got going on,...

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2006 Jeep Liberty
  • First, the easiest way to determine what features your vehicle has is to have a dealership run the VIN number. They will be able to tell you if you have a tow package and what other options the vehicle has. It looks like if the vehicle did have a tow package from the factory it would have come with a 7-Way. If you have already installed a trailer wiring harness and you want to add a fully functional 7-Way, I recommend using the 4 and 4-Way installation kit, # ETBC7. This kit provides all...

  • Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on 2006 Jeep Liberty
  • The fuse you found in the engine compartment is used to protect the 12-volt accessory power feed to the trailer connector. Since your Liberty was not equipped with the factory installed 7-way, this circuit is inactive. Some Jeep Liberty models that were factory equipped with the 7-way trailer connector had some of the wiring in place that ran from the rear of the vehicle up to behind the dash for installing a brake controller, but the wiring will not be present in your vehicle and the...

  • Specific Torque Spec to Follow When Installing Ultra-Fab Rotating, Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels
  • the installation instructions for skid wheel # UF48-979014 only say to alternate tightening each nut until all are tight. No specific torque specification is given. But the unit uses 3/8 inch nuts and for this size, coarse threads at least, using grade 5 hardware the common spec is 33 foot pounds. But I would follow the instructions and make them tight without straining or using a cheater bar.

  • Information on Brake Controller Wiring on a 2005 Jeep Liberty
  • Which connector does your vehicle have on the rear bumper? If it's the 4 pole flat connector, you'll need the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit - 10 Gauge, part # ETBC7, hardwired brake controller installation kit. We have an FAQ brake page that I attached in a link below that will explain the installation procedure. Your 4 pole connector will plug into the 7 way connector included in the kit, and you will run a brake wire up to the cab for the controller, as well as a 12V...

  • Routing a Power Wire for a Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • The only other trailer wiring harness available for a 2002 Jeep Liberty is # 42475 and it will only work if the vehicle came with a factory tow package. For all other models, you need to use the T-Connector harness, # 118524. Running a power wire to the battery is required because it provides the power to the trailer lights while at the same time protecting the wiring on the vehicle. The connection is required or the harness will not work. Routing the wire to the battery is not difficult...

  • Installing Trailer Brake Controller on a 2010 Jeep Liberty with a Factory 7-Way
  • A plug-in brake controller wiring harness is not available for your 2010 Jeep Liberty but if your Liberty has a factory installed 7-Way you will only need isntallation kit # 5506. What you will do is use the wire included with # 5506 and attach one of the wires (there are 2 bonded wires) to the back of the 7-Way in the 7 oclock position. Then route the wiring under the vehicle, avoiding areas that may pinch or burn the wire, and into the cab. Connect the wire from the 7-Way you ran to...

  • What Does 2 Dots on Curt TriFlex Brake Controller Mean
  • The two dots like . . on the Curt TriFlex, part # C24VV, just means that the controller is in standby mode with a trailer connector. If you have a trailer connected and aren't doing anything else with the controller this is normal.

  • The connectors on the # 118554 wiring will plug into the back sides of the tail lights on your 2010 Jeep Liberty Sport. To access the back of your tail lights, open the tail gate and remove the two clips holding each light in place. Once this is done they should pull out toward you. You will see factory wiring running into the back side of each light. Unplug this wiring, and plug the matching connector from the harness into the port on the back of the light. The other connector on...

  • Will Roadmaster 9700 Brake System Activate Brakes When Motorhome Turn Signal is Engaged
  • Great question! I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster who said that the Roadmaster 9400 Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 will only activate the brakes on your towed vehicle when it receives signal on both the yellow and green wires. This applies to the RoadMaster Second Vehicle Kit # RM-98800 you referenced as well. The only time that this becomes a problem is in the event that you have your hazards on and driving down the road. To avoid the braking system pulsing with...

  • Can Wagan Power Inverter # 02294 Power a Mini-Fridge in a Camper
  • The Wagan Power Inverter # WC3720 that you referenced should be able to run your mini-fridge in your camper without any problems. To confirm this check your appliance for how many watts are required. If the wattage is not listed you can simply determine this number by multiplying the number of amps by the number of volts (amps x volts = watts). This inverter has a continuous power rating of 1000 Watts. I have attached a brief installation video as well as the installation instructions.

  • How Do Arms for Roadmaster EZ Plate Base Plate Kit Secure for 2012 Jeep Liberty
  • The end of the shank for the arms of the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521433-1 have a collar (for lack of a better word) and then a longer flat piece that locks it into place once the arms are placed into the base plates and turned. You can see this demonstrated in the attached review video. Please note that a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you...
