Brake Controller For 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With 7-Way

Question:

Hi, I need a brake controller for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 3.6. It has tow package with a 4 pin connector that I adapted to 7 pin for small travel trailer. Need the controller and wiring kit. The wiring kit is where I am lost. Please advise. Thanks

If your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has a working 7-way already that is wired, which is what it sounds like you have since you said you adapted it to a 7-way, you can add a brake controller with no added wiring whatsoever with the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.

This will simply plug into your 7-way and you set it up with your smartphone, and because it is so easy and effective, this is definitely the route I recommend,.

Otherwise, if you want a wired brake controller, since you have the factory tow package, the wiring is behind the dash, but some models of your Wrangler Unlimited require a wiring kit to run wire to the battery, and may need to have a hole drilled in the firewall to run the wire, so you'd need Wiring Kit # 5506.

What this gives you is the brake wire and 12 volt wire that allows you to use a brake controller such as the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.

I have added a link below to a video showing the P3 and wiring kit being installed on Wrangler that I recommend taking a look at.
