Parts Needed to Convert 4-Way on 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee to a 7-Way
Question:
Have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4 pole wiring harness. Are there a few options? Will the Hopkins HM42190 have enough wire the install the 7 pin under the Jeep?

Expert Reply:
If your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the factory tow package and has the square connector for the part # HM42190 to connect to then it will work for you to install a 7-way.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
