Since your 2013 Jeep Wrangler does not have a factory trailer brake controller port you will need to hardwire the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles # TK90160.
If your Jeep has the factory tow package you should have a coiled up light green or blue brake output wire which should be near the emergency brake pedal. You will need the # 5506 which will run from the battery, to the included circuit breaker, to the passenger compartment of your Jeep to provide the ground and power needed. Lastly you will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to find the cold side of the stop light switch that only has power when the brakes are applied. You will connect the harness included with the # TK90160 as follows:
Black wire to black wire of # 5506
White wire to white wire of # 5506
Blue wire to blue or light green factory wire
Red wire to cold side wire of stop light switch
If your Jeep does not have the factory tow package you will need to install a 7-way connector starting with a 4-way connector # 118416, and the adding the # ETBC7 to get a 7-way connector. The # ETBC7 includes all of the wiring and circuit breakers required so you will not need the # 5506.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
