1st post but returned to the place that led me to the info of where to look. Found this site on a Google Search. For starters I have a 2010 Liberty Sport, just bought it in Feb. I have a 2 place 5 x 14 ATV trailer with optional brakes, Liberty came with factory installed Tow Package. After a little searching found where to look for the trailer brake wire. It's under the left front cowl right at the corner of the floor mat. In my case it wasn't a green wire but a RED WIRE. Confirmed this by looking at the 7 pin plug and checking with a test light. Wouldn't have thought this Knee Panel is on a hinge, folds down nice. I got a controller that is removable, and with this flip down, the ribs hold the harness and plug nice when not hooked up. Again confirming with a test light I tapped into the White with green stripe wire (yellow arrow). A nice feature on this Jeep is they have 2 ground studs right there at the main harness where trailer brake wire goes into. A ring terminal on the ground wire and onto the stud. Another nice feature is the empty firewall pass through (no picture) located to the right of master cylinder under hood, or upper left corner underneath the drivers side floor. Ran a 10 ga. wire with 20 amp relay fuse from the fuse box stud. I soldered/ shrink tube/ silicone taped splices except brake light switch splice. Used 1 of those blue quick clamp splices. Finished Shot, after checking where I could mount this thing, this seemed the best place. All said and done, I hooked up to the trailer and everything worked. |

Great post & Thanks for the info. Looks pretty straightforward for 2010. Anyone try this on a 2003?? My 2003 had wiring running to the back where all I had to do was plug in the flay 4 way connector & everything worked. Now looking into getting brakes hooked up & wondering what it will take. Or if it's more work than it might be worth. |

I have a 08 Liberty Limited KK, and I removed the little storage drawer thing on the lower left. I mounted my Tekonsha P3 brake controller there. My Liberty came naked, no wire harness or hitch. So I ordered a Curt Class 3, and ordered the OEM wire harness from Chrysler and installed it myself. Works great. Tows my 8.5x16 Trinity Aluminum ATV trailer just fine. |

The pictures that were part of this original post seem to be gone. Hoping the awesome poster still has them and can repost them. Cheers Tim 2010 Jeep Liberty |
