Brake Controller Wiring Harness Location 2017 Jeep Cherokee
Question:
I read your answer to another question asking for the brake controll plug in location and under the dash it is. But where exactly and what might help me to identify it. Ive looked everywhere under the left of steering column area and basically everywhere else. Ive already purchased the prodigy p2controller and nec. Plug adapter. Please help. Pictures would be great. I DO HAVE AN OEM INSTALLED TOW PACKAGE

As you can see at the 1:20 mark in the attached video, the factory brake controller harness on your 2017 Jeep Cherokee will be located under the driver's side dash panel. The connector will be grey in color and positioned just to the left of where the brake pedal mounts to the firewall.
In addition to the video, I have attached a photo per your request of the harnesses location.

My 2017 Jeep did not come with the factory tow package. I added a hitch from eTrailer and then had the dealership re-flash the control chip ($60). There is also no wiring harness with plug under the steering column or brake assembly. I assume I will need to have a professional install a harness. Can you recommend which wiring I should buy?
