Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler Unlimited


  • Troubleshooting No Tail Lights on 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited When Being Flat Towed
  • If the tail lights on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited aren't working when hooked up to the RV, it's worth it to first test the 7-Way connector on the RV to make sure this circuit is active. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 on the running lights pin to make sure it gets power when those lights are activated. If there isn't power then the problem is actually on the RV side and the Jeep is good to go. If this is the case you would want to check for any related fuses (you can find their...

  • Troubleshooting Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit Not Working on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • You can test the wiring of the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 itself. I have included a diagram to help determine where to test. You will want to test the wiring with a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 at the area marked "IN", if you have power there, test the power at the area marked "OUT". If you lose power, then that converter is not working properly. Unfortunately this happens on this type of wiring. If you find that is the problem, you would be...

  • How To Solve A Dead Battery Issue When Flat Towing A Jeep Wrangler
  • The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BLU79FR shouldn't be pulling enough to drain your Wrangler's battery in a short amount of time so you most likely have something else that's draining the battery. That being said, you can easily fix this issue by installing a charge line kit like the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25. Since the wire harness you used is only a 4-pole you would need to cut the connector off and wire it into a 6-pole socket like you'd get with...

  • What Does Clicking Circuit Breaker of 7-Way Install Kit # ETBC7 Mean
  • If a circuit breaker is clicking that means it's cutting the circuit and doing it's job to protect the wiring and from passing the short further up the circuit. You said it's "not" clicking which would mean it's seemingly just fine but since there's a chance you meant to type "now" that would indicate that the circuit is overdrawing and tripping the breaker. This is most of the time caused by a short on the circuit's wiring but could also just be from overdrawing the circuit. If it's happening...

  • Brake Controller Display on 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is Not Lighting up
  • If the display on your brake controller is not lighting up, then it is definitely not getting power and you will need to check the wiring running to the battery on your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. If you have the Prodigy P3 # 90195 then it will be the Black wire on the pigtail. You can use a Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to make sure that there is power coming through on that wire.

  • Troubleshooting Left Stop/Turn Light Not Functioning On Trailer
  • Sounds like you are trying to figure out why the left brake light on your trailer isn't functioning but the rest of the trailer lighting seems to be working. Typically this problem is due to a bad ground on the light assembly. The light grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. If there is anything between a light ground and the metal trailer frame or if the trailer has an aluminum frame, tilt bed, or folding tongue, any of these things can interrupt...

  • Troubleshooting Even Brake Portable Proportional Braking System On 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • I called my contact at Roadmaster about the # RM-9400 and the troubleshooting message you keep getting. They told me that you need to check the green wire that is coming out of the # RM-751452 switch. You should only show current when the brake pedal is depressed. If you are not showing current, then the switch is probably bad or it has shorted out and needs to be replaced.

  • Troubleshooting Losing Turn Signal in Towed Vehicle When Headlights are Turned On in Coach
  • Thanks for your business. I can certainly help you troubleshoot this issue with you. From what you describe it sounds like you are having a ground issue. When you turn on your headlights you are drawing more amperage which if you have a bad ground can then start to cause issues. First thing I would do is check the ground wire on the Jeep and make sure it's tightly mounted to a clean metal surface. If that doesn't fix the issue we need to identify where the issue is coming from. We...

  • How to Reduce Vibration on Towing Mirrors for a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • I called my contact at K-Source about the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors part # KS3990 and they informed me that they have not really heard of many issues with excessive vibration. However, if you are experiencing such then you might want to try and tighten the strap a bit more to see if that fixes your issue. Unfortunately, if the side mirrors on your vehicle are also experiencing vibration then the towing mirrors would be more or less an amplified version of that as they...

  • Can Curt Echo Brake Controller Work with 5-Way on Boat Trailer
  • In order for the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 to work properly you will need to install a 7-Way connector on your boat trailer. Typically the 5-Way connectors carry the standard trailer light functions plus the reverse light function so I'm not even sure if your current setup is able to provide power to brakes on your boat trailer. I recommend using the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit # HS381-9000 to accomplish this since it comes with a junction box that helps...

  • Troubleshooting Lighting Issues After Installing The Roadmaster Diode Kit On A 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  • If the left light on your 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is dull after installing the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154 then you have a connection issue. I recommend checking the wiring and making sure there is no loose or damaged wiring. If you're having issues when hooked up to the motorhome then first you want to make sure it's wired correctly. The lighting on your 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is combined. I've attached the wiring diagrams for a combined wiring...

  • 2005 Jeep Wrangler Left Brake Light Stays On All the Time When Connected to RV
  • To determine where the problem is I recommend having the 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited plugged up to the RV and then use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the wiring starting at the RV. You are looking for constant power on the left brake light/turn signal wire. Start at the RV and work your way back until you find the problem. If it doesn't show up until after the diode, then that could mean that the diode is the problem. Also, if you are using a supplemental braking system...

  • Troubleshooting Brake-Lite Relay Kit Not Working for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • The Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 will keep the brake signal from your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited overriding your turn signals so if the brakes are still overriding the turn signals then that means the unit wasn't properly installed, or the relay or fuse is bad and needs to be replaced. According to my research your Jeep should have a normally open application so you'll want to follow and re-check those instructions (see attached).

  • Troubleshooting A Hard Brake Pedal After Flat Towing A Jeep With Demco Air Force One
  • Based on the symptoms you're describing with your Air Force One # SM99243 it sound like you have a leak somewhere and the brake booster is having to rebuild the vacuum pressure, which is why the pedal is hard and requiring you to pump it back up before driving. I recommend looking at your check valve between the tee and engine for leaks and tracing your air lines for any cracks or loose connections. If none are found then the check valve could have also just failed and needs to be replaced...

  • Installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # C56407 on a 2019 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited should be straight forward. Due to the plug and play connectors, typically there are very few things that could go wrong. To narrow down the issue you are having, I would start by removing your left tail light. Check the pins on each of the plugs to make sure none are bent. If any are carefully straighten them. Reconnect the plugs and make sure it...

  • Is 3.6V on 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Trailer Plug Abnormal
  • If it's just a 4-Way Flat connector like the T-On # 118786 then I would be surprised to see that much power being pulled to the back of your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, but if you have a 7-Way like what we find with the Wiring Kit # ETBC7 then 3.6V on the 12V power pin isn't out of the ordinary and you'll be fine. Attached are photos showing the functions per pin on both a 4-Way and a 7-Way connector for you to reference.

  • Troubleshooting No Output On A Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller In A 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • The Tekonsha P3 # 90195 employs an inertial sensor. It senses the deceleration of your Wrangler and generates an output that is based on that deceleration. If you're testing controller by pressing the brake pedal while it's parked it will not activate the brakes on your trailer. Another thing to check would be the power setting you have the controller at. At minute 1 of the attached video below Randy will walk you through adjusting the power level settings. One other thing to check...
