Wiring Needed for 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Power Trailer Brake Lights and Turn Signals
Question:
Im planning on buying the DrawTite hitch for my 2012 jeep grand cherokee, I am having trouble figuring out what I need to buy as far as wiring goes to hook up brake lights and turn signals on a trailer. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Class III Receiver Hitch, # 75699, is a great option for your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with Trailer Connector, # 118425, is the wiring that you will need to operate brake lights and turn signals on a trailer. This connector plugs directly into the existing wiring with no cutting or splicing needed.
We also offer the Ball Mount, # C45010, 2-inch Hitch Ball, # 63845, or the 1-7/8 inch Hitch Ball, # 19260, that you may need to get you ready for towing.
I have attached a couple of links that may be of help.
