When we installed the breakaway switch on Jeep Grand Cherokees of the same generation as your 2015 model our installers just attached the switch directly to the bottom of the front license plate housing.

The anchor points for the required straps when using the Curt Hitch # C11103 are actually in your hatch door of your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
If your vehicle does not have a spoiler then you can attach the clip to the top of your hatch door. If you vehicle does have a spoiler then you will need to close the strap in the base of your hatch door.
By using the Curt mandated stabilization strap on hitch mounted accessories, such as bike racks and cargo carriers, it relieves some of the... view full answer...
We do not currently have an installation video of the Westin # 21-3615 available for your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but I've linked the installation instructions of these nerf bars, which do a pretty good job of providing some visual instructions of what to look for when installing these that hopefully you'll find helpful. view full answer...

It sounds like you are referring to the "Monitor Light" that is installed in the towed vehicle for the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 that you referenced. This bright LED strip is important and should be kept in your line of site, as it indicates that the towed vehicle's brakes are engaged. If you are pulling your Jeep and see this light illuminated in your rear view mirror when it shouldn't be (you aren't braking), you will want to stop immediately, as it indicates... view full answer...
Jeep issued a recall on certain models of the Grand Cherokee and Liberty due to the issue of an exposed gas tank. Basically, the gas tank is exposed at the rear of the Jeep with very little protection and there have been reports of the gas tank exploding during rear end collisions. Jeep (Chrysler) are recommending a trailer hitch be installed to protect the gas tank in a rear end collision or rear end impact.
From what we understand, the OEM hitch is bigger and bulkier than the aftermarket... view full answer...

Sometimes Mopar used a light green wire, sometimes it was a blue wire. The fact that the wire you found has a tag on it positively identifies it as the brake output circuit.
I'd recommend the # 5506 Brake Controller Install Kit. I've linked you to a video showing the kit being used to install a different controller on a 2000 Grand Cherokee. The procedure on your vehicle would be very similar. The brake stoplight switch wire you'll need to attach the red brake controller wire to would be... view full answer...
I checked on the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and found that as long as the vehicle has selectable 4 wheel drive with a neutral position in the transfer case is towable as is.
If the vehicle is rear wheel drive only, and has the 42RLE transmission a transmission lube pump is required.
If the vehicle has an auto transmission other than the 42RLE the vehicle is not towable and will need to be trailered.
If the vehicle is AWD without a nuetral position in the transfer case it is trailer only.

The wiring harness # 118381 plugs into a connector that is behind the rear bumper. However, it is not confirmed to fit your Jeep since you don't have the factory tow package.
On your 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee you need # 118394 which plugs in on both sides behind each tail light. I've linked an installation video for you to take a look at.
Also, if you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75338. It installs using 4 bolts. I've also linked this installation... view full answer...
We actually have some helpful diagrams on the product page for the Tail Light Isolating Diode System, # 38955, as well as some videos and an FAQ article that I have linked for you. All of these items should be a big help.
When checking the wires on the vehicle to determine function, you will need a circuit tester like # PTW2993. You will probe the wires behind each taillight to find the turn signal, running light, and brake light wires. You will then wire them into the diodes according... view full answer...
On your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee the Blue wire you have found may or may not run all the way to the rear of the vehicle. The wires needed to install a brake controller on your vehicle are not always available and sometimes if the wires are available they are not easy to find.
The easiest way to install a brake controller to your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee is with the Brake Controller 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. It does require a 4-way trailer connector like the Tow Ready... view full answer...
We don't have a video specifically for the # RM-15247 installation on a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but we do offer a video showing the almost identical # RM-152-98146-7 being installed on a 2018 Grand Cherokee.
The consecutive model years of the vehicles and the fact that the harnesses are almost exactly alike means that the video will be very helpful, the procedure for the # RM-15247 on a 2017 Jeep GC will be identical to what's shown in the video I've linked for you. view full answer...
To determine if your motor home has a separate or combined lighting system, look at your tail lights. If you have an amber and red lens then yours is a separate system and will not activate the taillight functions on the towed vehicle properly through the 7 pole plug. Locate the factory wires under the RV. Test each wire to determine the functions and install the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter Item # RM-732. I have included a link to a video to help with instillation. view full answer...

If your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee did not come with the factory tow package that would have included a 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, you will need to hard wire the vehicle for installation of a brake controller and 7-Way connector. It sounds like this is the case for your vehicle, so there will not be a working connector under the hood or at the rear of the vehicle for installation of a brake controller and 7-way harness.
The items you need are a working 4-Way connector,... view full answer...
