Recommended 7-Way Wiring for 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
For your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, if you have the factory wiring, then all you need is the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket, Chrysler/Dodge OEM Plug Adapter # HM40975-11933. If you do not have the factory wiring, then you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118727 to get a 4-way connector. Then you will need to use # ETBC7 to upgrade that 4-way to a 7-way. You will also need a brake controller for full 7-way function. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for the best and most user friendly brake control unit. It is by far the most popular brake controller due to its function and LCD screen along with presets. If you have the factory tow package then you can install this with the adapter # 3045-P as opposed to hardwiring it. Let me know if you have any further questions.
