Grounding Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
2007 Jeep wrangler unlimited. Where do I attach the ground wire? I would need to drill into the frame. Can I make the ground wire longer to get to a hole already in the frame? Or can I use a bolt that is already on the frame. Help. Thanks

Expert Reply:
You do not have to drill into the vehicle frame to attach the ground wire. Making it a little longer to reach a hole or attaching it to an existing bolt in the frame will work just fine. Just make sure that it is attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface and that if you lengthen the wire make sure to seal of the splice with electrical tape or liquid electrical tape # SWC50122.
