Is RoadMaster 12-Volt Outlet Used With Blue Ox Patriot Braking on 2019 Jeep Wrangler

Question:

Can you use 12 volt/10 amp extension cord to connect the Patriot Brake to the rear cargo power outlet on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler since the front outlet only has power when the key is on?

When flat towing your 2019 Jeep Wrangler, you are correct you will need the RoadMaster 12-Volt Outlet # RM-9332 with the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR.

However, you will not connect it to the rear cargo power outlet. The Jeep's battery won't be disconnected when flat towing, so instead, per the # RM-9332 instructions, you will do the following for power:

- With a test light, find an ATC fuse in the 12-volt fuse
panel which has 12 volts positive current with the ignition
off. Remove the fuse.

- Also with a test light, find the “hot” side of the fuse
socket — the “hot” side of the socket will have constant
12 volts positive current.

- Connect the included fuse tap to the side
of the fuse that will be plugged into the “hot” side of the
socket.
