Expert Answers about Jeep TJ


  • Password Location for OneControl Remote on Lippert Ground Control 3.0
  • The only leveling systems we carry are the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote - 4-Point Set # LC358590 and 6-Point Set # LC675817 which use the OneControl touch panel. If this is what you have, then according to the manual, the password will be located on the wifi hub that is in your trailer, as you can see by the cut out of the manual I added. This manual is linked for your convenience.

  • Correct Trailer Wiring for a 1997 Jeep Wrangler
  • I understand it can seem confusing but there is an easy solution. Very Easy! If you use the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118356 it will simply plug into the plugs beside each tail light. It will then send the signal to the 4 way trailer connector that you will hook the trailer to. The reason it works is because your Jeep is telling the wiring what to do. When you are stopped brakes pressed and turning left the blinker still blinks it...

  • Can Hopkins HM56202 be Wired into 6-Way Connector on Front of Towed Vehicle
  • Absolutely! We actually recommend doing this exact install a lot of the time. Using a 6-way, like part # PK12720 for an example, at the vehicle's front allows you to install additional wiring for a braking system or charge line but doing it this way makes it an easier install because the Hopkins # HM56202 is the easiest to install harness for your 2004 Jeep.

  • Will Derale Direct Cooler for 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sahara D20561 Work when Bypassing Factory Cooler
  • Yes, if you were to run the Derale Direct-Mount Remote Cooler Kit # D20561 as a standalone cooler by bypassing the factory cooler of your 1999 Jeep Wrangler you'd have more than adequate cooling capacity for the transmission fluid. This cooler is much more efficient than the one you have now and even has a fan built into it so you'll get great transmission fluid cooling even when the vehicle is moving slowly.

  • Can the Input on the RoadMaster Diodes be Reversed
  • The input sides on the diodes of the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 can be switched so that the left side is for the towed vehicle and the right side is for the motorhome or vice versa, it doesn't matter. If you can tell me more about the issue you are having with the kit I may be able to offer additional advice for you. Please note that any time there is a wiring issue the first thing you should check is your grounds and by this I really mean remove...

  • Installing Curt Venturer Brake Controller # C74VV on 2008 Chevy Trailblazer w/ Factory Tow Package
  • The Trailblazer doesn't have a connector under the dash, the tow package wiring is four bare wires located under the dash. To access the wires, you'll need to unscrew the under dash panel and locate the wiring harness as shown in the video I linked. To connect your Curt Venturer brake controller, you'd use the # C51515 and use butt connectors to attach to the tow package wires as shown in the video. If your Trailblazer has the 7-way trailer connector, all you'll need to do is attach the...

  • Can the Fuel Tank Be Removed from 2001 Jeep TJ With Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 13408 Installed
  • From what I have found, there are four bolts holding the fuel tank in place at the back of your 2001 Jeep TJ. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13408 covers these bolts once it is installed, so it would have to be uninstalled in order to access them and remove your fuel tank. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13430 instead. This hitch sits slightly further back, leaving those bolts accessible. There should be plenty of clearance to remove the fuel tank, although it may make...

  • How To Prevent Battery Drain When Flat Towing A 2005 Jeep TJ
  • Your 2005 Jeep TJ doesn't need to have the battery disconnected when towing but leaving the key in ACC position will put a very small drain on the battery. To resolve this issue you can install the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles Item # RM-156-25. This charge line kit will provide 15 amps to your vehicle's battery by connecting to the 6-way or 7-way port on your vehicle.

  • Where To Install Breakaway Cylinder for Roadmaster BrakeMaster On 1997 Jeep TJ
  • I took a look at the Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System with BrakeAway part # RM-9060 and in regards to mounting the breakaway cylinder, the following instructions are given in the manual. "Choose a location for the air reservoir. The air reservoir is mounted in the towed vehicle, most often in the engine compartment, but it may be attached anywhere an air line can be routed from the top of the air reservoir to the front of the vehicle, and where the drain valve, at the bottom of...

  • Is the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Required When Using the Roadmaster Even Brake
  • The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System part # RM-9400 comes with the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-88400 so you won't have to purchase this separately. That said, the relay doesn't need to be installed on all vehicles. The 2000 Jeep TJ however is one that requires it. In regards to the tail light wiring, the Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System part # TR118821 is a great option that works on any vehicle.

  • Installation of Jeep-Style Trailer Lights
  • The Jeep-Style Combination LED Tail Light w/ Backup Light and License Plate Light - Driver Side # STL60RLBP and Passenger Side # STL60RB are not intended for use on a Jeep. They are simply the Jeep Style and are intended for trailer use. You will not be able to modify the lights without voiding a warranty. The studs are used for mounting only, so you technically can alter the mount without impacting function.

  • Identifying Brake Switch Wire For Trailer Brake Controller On 2005 Jeep Wrangler LJ Rubicon
  • It appears that on a 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ the brake switch wire used to connect a brake controller is white/tan. I do recommend verifying that it is the correct wire on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler LJ Rubicon using a Test Light # PTW2993. If that wire provides power when the brake pedal is pressed and no power when not pressing on the brake pedal then you have the correct wire to wire in your Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR.

  • Does the Roadmaster BrakeMaster For Hydraulic Brakes Require or Benefit From Vacuum Assist Brakes
  • The Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System with BrakeAway for RVs with Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9060 does not require or benefit from vacuum assist. You could actually argue that it is more of a hindrance. That is because the vacuum assist requires that the vacuum be released for installation and every time the tow vehicle is started after that you will need to release the vacuum before towing. I have included the instruction manual for the BrakeMaster 9060, it goes over the vacuum information...

Once we have the opportunity to get better pictures for this product we will have them loaded on our site.

  • Front Mounted Receiver Hitch That Mounts Under Bumper for 2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ
  • We've got what you're looking for. The Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver, part # C31028 mounts to the undersides of the frame members at the front of your Jeep so that the receiver opening is located under the front bumper, as you can see in the photo I've provided. If you need the front receiver to provide an attachment point for something fairly heavy like a snow plow, I'd also recommend the Timbren # TJFTJ springs which fit 4x4 models only. The Timbrens prevent the front end from sagging...

  • Yes, the 1997 Jeep TJ will come with trailer wiring connectors located at each rear corner. The vehicles wiring harnesses are underneath the vehicle, behind a protective cover on each side of the vehicle. Temporarily remove each of the protective covers under the vehicle next to the rear bumper. There will be connection points matching the ends of the T-connector on the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118356, on both sides of the vehicle. I am including a link to the installation...
