Trailer Wiring Installation and Recommendation for a 2003 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
Plugged in wires to vehicle plug, running lights, turn signals work. No brake lights except on 2003 Jeep. Where do I run a wire from the Jeep to the magnetic lights in order to get brake lights?

Sounds like you are trying to install trailer wiring on your 2003 Jeep Wrangler. If you have a 4-way you are hardwiring to your Jeep the stop light and turn signal circuits should be carried already on the same wire. You might make sure you are running the stop tail circuit to the correct wire on 4-way and not to the running light circuit.
An easy way to bypass all this would be to install the trailer wiring confirmed to fit your vehicle. For that you would want the part # C55363. This will plug inline with the taillight harness and would not require any hardwiring or splicing. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
