Expert Reply:
A brake light relay, # RM-88400, will be required if your 2015 Jeep Cherokee is wired with a 4-diode light kit, # RM-154. Or you could go with a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120 instead.
For a braking system that comes with the brake light relay use the Even Brake # RM-9400. If the push-button start feature does not start the engine when the brake fuse is removed, then you need to perform a normally closed installation. Consult the vehicle owners manual for the fuse locations.
The brake switch wire on your 2015 Cherokee that you will need is a dark green/light green trimmed wire. Look for it on the brake switch above the brake pedal. You will need to use stop light switch kit # RM-751471 with this vehicle as well. It ensures that you are alerted that the brake pedal on the toad is actually moving.
