Is Splicing Required to Install Trailer Wiring Harness 118786 on 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
Does this require any SPLICING? I have both the LED lighting package and the Safety sensor going into the rear tail lights. I dont mind disconnecting, ing a jumper and reassembly, but I do hesitate to splice. Also, is there a power run all the way up to the battery? This pic is from the passenger side, the pigtail shown here is from MOPAR goes to a 7 pin round and all I want is the 4 pin flat hookup. I do appreciate your answering my previous question. Again, without a product image on your page its extremely difficult to know what I am ordering.

No, installation of trailer wiring harness # 118786 does not require splicing into the vehicle tail light wiring. It has connectors that plug in line with the tail light connectors on the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL models. A connection to the battery is required and will be what powers the trailer lights as well as part of what helps protect the Jeep's electrical system.
