I went to tow a U-Haul trailer today but ended up renting a truck instead because the trailer wiring that the PO installed was jacked up. I am wondering what your thoughts are about fixing the following:
The physical hitch setup appears to be Mopar, and the 2 inch receiver has a rubber "Jeep" cover. The wiring appears not to be OEM, though. It is a 4-pin adaptor, not the circular 7 pin setup that is on most jeeps I've seen. The wiring harnesses I found inside the jack storage area on the left side of the trunk are not well put-together, and there is even a black wire that hangs down and doesn't connect to anything. When I hooked up the trailer, the trailer tail lights were on all the time, except they go off when I hit the brake.
Sooo... Do I try and untangle the mess and wire the 4-pin up correctly, or should I order the MOPAR 7-pin wiring kit and do the job right? What would you do, those of you who pull stuff? I don't have a trailer yet, but am thinking of getting a pop-up camper someday.
Thanks for your
