Expert Answers about Jeep Cherokee


  • Are the LEDs of the Optronics Light # STL8RB Attached to the Lens or the Housing
  • The lens of the LED Submersible Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light # STL8RB that you referenced is held on with 4 screws around the outside of the housing. The LEDs on the inside of the light are not attached to the lens. They are attached to the housing. Since the light isn't designed for that type of modification it would be hard for me to safely recommend you do that. An easier option might be to install the # 763560 as this is a capsule designed to replace the light assembly of a taillight....

  • Is Frame Adapter Needed to Carry Womans Bike with Hollywood Racks Over the Top
  • To carry a woman's style bike that does not have a horizontal top tube with the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 you will need a bike frame adapter. The best option is the part # UB01 as we've found it's the easiest to use, has the widest range, and is priced great. I attached a review video for the adapter and bike rack for you to check out as well.

  • Brake Controller Installation Access to Plug In for Adapter on 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  • It looks like there are 2 grommets that hold the felt covering on under the steering column, which will need to be detached in order to install a brake controller on your 2016 Jeep Cherokee. I've attached the installation video of a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee that demonstrates the process of removing the trim in this area to access the plug in adapter.

  • Trouble Removing Front Bumper Fascia On a 2019 Jeep Cherokee
  • It can be difficult to remove the front bumper fascia on any given vehicle and the 2019 Jeep Cherokee is no exception. If you take a look at the attached video on the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521451-5 you will see that if you use a trim panel tool between the headlight and bumper fascia that will then help removing the fascia while you are pulling away at the wheel well. Please note, the process can vary slightly depending on which trim package you have as well...

  • 2019 Cherokee Trail Hawk Front Facia Re-installation
  • It sounds as if you're having difficulty installing the bumper cover after installation of the # RM-521451-5 base plate kit, is that correct? The most frequent reason for this occurring is that the cut out that was made made in the lower grille work for the electrical connector wasn't quite large enough, so it isn't allowing the cover to shift to one side far enough for the clips to engage. If you're working by yourself, that starting that bumper cover in the center and working outward...

  • Recommended Replacement For A Dexter A-60 Brake Actuator With A Broken Safety Cable
  • This does happen every now and then, but you will need the Dexter Replacement Emergency Breakaway Cable Kit # DX64XR. This is specifically for the A-60 actuators, which the # DX56FR is. With that said, on the bottom or underneath side of the inner member of the actuator, there is a small tab that you can push down with a flat blade screwdriver (refer to the included image as to what this looks like). Depressing this is supposed to release the internal workings of the actuator and grant...

  • Can T-One Wiring Harness Be Installed On 2000 Jeep Cherokee With Factory Harness Already Installed
  • You can install the Tow-Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118354 on your 2000 Jeep Cherokee and leave the factory wiring harness connected. The instructions that are included with the T-One harness state that you will locate the connections behind the taillights on the driver's side by removing the spare tire and rear quarter panel trim. When installing you will want to test the installation with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. I have attached a link to an installation...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Hitch Not Wide Enough for Installation on 2015 Jeep Cherokee
  • If the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13171 bolt holes aren't matching up with the bolts hole locations on your 2015 Jeep Cherokee then the brackets may have been bent sometime during the shipping process. Since this particular trailer hitch has longer brackets that is more than likely the case and you can bend the brackets slightly to get them to match up. Just be sure that nothing starts creasing and you don't have any paint flaking though as that could meant the integrity of the trailer...

  • How Do I Attach the Lower Anchor Hooks on the Yakima HangOut 2 on My 2016 Jeep Cherokee?
  • I have an answer for you. I confirmed with Yakima that the lower strap hooks of your Yakima HangOut 2 # Y02637 hooks at the bottom edge of your trunk, hatch lid, or rear door in anchor mode on your 2016 Jeep Cherokee. If you have already installed the anchor attachments, you will actually place the entire anchor inside of the trunk of your vehicle (entirely). There should be no part of the anchor outside of the hatch. I went ahead and attached the part of the instructions from the manual...

  • Can 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport be Flat Towed
  • Yes, your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport is flat-towable. I did some checking and confirmed that it is. Be sure to also check the owners manual of your vehicle under the recreational towing heading for specific instructions and procedures on it. You'll need a base plate kit to flat tow your vehicle and for that I recommend the Roadmaster Direct Connect kit part # RM-521447-5 as it's very easy to use and mostly concealed when not in use. I attached a review video for this for you to check out...

  • Where to Mount Module of SMI Air Force One on 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
  • The picture is somewhat hard to understand what's going on, but it looks like they mounted the module of the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243 horizontally in front of the radiator. It would appear it wouldn't affect the air flow to the radiator too much but I'd probably keep an eye on the fluid temperature gauge. As long as it's securely mounted it would be fine. I attached a picture that shows where we mounted the box on a similar 2018 Cherokee as well. The install...

  • Can Trailer Wiring Harness Be Connected to the Power Outlet at Back of a 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  • Even though attaching the power wire to a 12 volt outlet would make installation a little faster, the trailer wiring harness # HM11142464 needs to be connected directly to the vehicle battery on your 2016 Jeep Cherokee. This is so it is fused by itself and so the harness can maintain its level of isolation from the vehicle wiring protecting it from short circuits and possible costly repairs. I have included a link to a video showing installation of wiring harness # 118605 which installs...

  • Can Crossbar With Carr C-Profile Rota Light Mounting Bar Be Cut To Fit Vehicle
  • The information you found is correct. The crossbar included with the Carr C-Profile Rota Light Mounting Bar, part # CARR210111 can be cut to accommodate the width you need. There is a formula in the installation instructions that explain how you measure to make sure you get the right size. When you are changing the length of the bar you have to cut off equal amount on each end to make sure the lights are evenly placed on the bar.

  • Does the Air Dam on a 1998 Jeep Cherokee have to be Removed to Install a Front Mount Trailer Hitch
  • The air dam does need to be trimmed (or removed) to install front mount trailer hitch # 65009. The skid shield, if present, would have to be removed. I have included a link to the installation instructions for this hitch so you can see the installation procedure.

I also attached a link to an install video that details this process as well. The vehicle may not be the same as your 1989 Jeep Cherokee, but the installation will be the same.

  • Does etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit e98953 Fit 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited With Tow Hooks?
  • The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98953 you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2021 Jeep Cherokee, and since you have the tow hooks you will simply need to remove them during the install. To complete your flat towing setup you will still need a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. My recommendations are as follows: Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 Safety Cables: Roadmaster 64" Single...

  • Stop Light Switch Location On A 2015 Jeep Cherokee
  • The stop light switch that you will need to connect the red wire to on the Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha part # 20127 may be pre ran to a set of wires taped to the underside of the drivers side vehicle dash. If the wires are not present in this location, I recommend installing a stop light switch such as the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751471 to wire the brake controller stop light switch to because of the difficulty and risk of error that is involved when splicing...

  • Roadmaster Brake-Lite Installation for 2015 Jeep Cherokee With Push Button Start Switch
  • If your 2015 Jeep Cherokee has the push button start switch that doesn't start the engine when the brake fuse is removed, the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400 needs to be installed in the Normally Closed position. Here are the instructions for that proper installation: Remove the green wire from the kit. If you are using a Roadmaster Even Brake supplemental braking system, set this wire aside to use later. Locate the brake-light-switch wire in your towed car. Remove the brake...

  • Where to Install Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Knob on 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  • The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR would be a great choice for your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. There are other options but this brake controller is my personal favorite. It is reliable and stays out of your way with only the knob showing in the cab. You will also need the # RED67FR to plug into your factory tow port for installation. The panel you were looking at is vehicle specific and these aren't required for installation. The only mounting panel for your Jeep is the # 331-TPSI-001...
