For your 2007 Jeep Liberty the tow bar wiring harness is the # HM56203, the # HM56204 is for the newer generation Liberty that starts in 2008.
To determine if you would also need the brake light relay part # RM-88400 (price at link below) you will need to answer the following questions:
Are you using a supplemental braking system that depresses the brake pedal in your towed car?
