Tow Bar Wiring for Use on 2017 Jeep Wrangler that Has Ready Brake Supplemental System
Question:
I want to know what’s going to happen when the light are applied with ready break. And the wiring from the break peddle to ???

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Ready Brake you have is supplemental brake system for flat towing a vehicle and the Hopkins kit part # 42615 is wiring for towing a trailer.
I believe the wiring kit you are really looking for is tow bar wiring to activate the Jeep taillights when it's being flat towed. Which for that you can use a diode kit like the part # RM-154. This won't interfere with the operation of the Ready Brake and will activate the taillights as needed. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar Wrangler for you to check out as well.
