Jeep Patriot Trailer Wiring Installation And Review Videos

Trailer Wiring Harness Adapter Installation - 2012 Jeep Patriot- Video

Today on this 2012 Jeep Patriot, we're going to review and install the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole Connector, part number 37185 from Hopkins. This is what our connector looks like when it's installed on our Patriot. It has it's own bracket built in, and 7-Pole connector right here. This lid is actually sealed underneath to help protect it from moisture and the elements from it being outside. It has a nice, strong rubber cap to protect the 4-Pole connector as well. If we look in the back here where the wires go into the socket, it's all sealed up so no water at all can get inside there, or corrosion. With this connector, you can use it with a variety of different trailers. more

Pollak 6-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2014 Jeep Patriot- Video

Today on our 2014 Jeep Patriot we'll be installing the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket with exposed terminals and a rubber boot for the vehicle end, part number PK11068. Now we'll be working here on the front of the vehicle. This vehicle already has bulb and socket wiring with the four flat routed up underneath the lower fascia. We'll also be using the two prongs that are on the existing base plate that's already been mounted on the vehicle. We'll use these two prongs to mount our new 6-Pole Round Pin adapter. We're first going to have to go ahead and bend these two tabs down, just a little bit, on our existing base plate to allow our new 6-Pin connector to fit properly. To do this we use a paper towel and a boxed in wrench to bend the tab down slightly. more
