Hello all,

Just recently picked up a hybrid camper to tow behind the jeep ... It has onboard brakes and requires a harness conducive for such ... I installed the hitch however didn't order the oem wiring harness as I know it isn't comparable ... Does anyone know where I can buy one or a link to special instructions on how to wire it in ??

Thank you in advance

I do not remember for sure but it seems like Mopar made one that had the 7 pin RV style plug. You of course still had to add the brake controller in the cab but it seems like I remember seeing it in a thread on here. I'll have to look.

Thank you I found the mopar harness only issue was no one had it so ended up just driving a couple hours to the only dealership near me who had them in stock since I'm going to Gettysburg next weekend lol

An auto parts store or etrailer should have a lot of options.

Most of the jeeps come with a four prong harness. That will only support tail lights, brake lights, left turn signal and right turn signal.

The trailer brakes require a bigger plug, something like the 7 pin rv plug. The rv plug is what a lot of trailers are going to know instead of the 5 or 6 pin.

Thanks everyone, I ended up buying the mopar 7 prong harness and installed it myself in about 2 hours with running the brake mod wire into position
