Does 2017 Jeep Cherokee Require Stop Light Switch Kit with Roadmaster EvenBrake
Question:
If I want to Flat Tow a 2017 Jeep Cherokee with Evenbrake/Blue Ox towbar and magnetic tow lights. Would I need the brake light relay? I need the brake light wire running to the ICX transmitter to know when it is braking. Would installing a brake light switch be the best way to setup this function, instead of tapping into the brake light switch wiring, which is horrible to reach? Thanks,

Helpful Expert Reply:
The brake light relay part # RM-88400 is included with the EvenBrake part # RM-9400. Roadmaster recommends the use of the stop light switch kit part # RM-751471 on your vehicle so this would be the best option.
I attached an install video for the EvenBrake on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee similar to yours for you to check out as well.
