Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
My jeep does not have factory tow kit installed but I have this plug do you have the harness to go to tail lights to install it

Expert Reply:
The harness that you need is an OEM part. A dealership would have it or be able to get it. I would ask them though if there is anything else needed to make the 7-Way active on your 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
The 7-Way # HM42190 is designed for models that have the factory tow package. If your Jeep did not come with the factory tow package and you do not want to spend the money on dealer parts then you can install a 7-Way using a different method.
You would start by installing a 4-Way using # 118416. Then you would install 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. I have included some links to the right that will help with this installation.
