Post subject:  Trailer Light Wiring
I have added the factory hitch to my Liberty and wanting to finish the install with the trailer lights. I have been looking for the best option. I realize buying the factory wiring harness would be a great option and should be no big deal to install however, if the price is where I have located them on the net ($142) then I may want to do an aftermarket option. I realize that I will need to get a converter to deal with the independent turn signal lights. I also have no issues with wiring into the factory wiring as I am a electronic engineer by trade and worked in the automotive electronics field in the past.

What have others found to be the best option? I want to utilize the factory 7-wire bracket for my install. I don't ever plan on pulling anything that will really ever need a full 7-wire connection but hate to have a a 4-wire connection just hanging out of the bracket.

Thanks in advance.

Brian

Hey Brian,

I'm not the electrical engineer so I made sure the Jeep was already wired :) The factory bracket, however, is clean looking and doesn't extrude out as to get caught on anything. Most of my trailering is with a 7 foot light utility trailer that has a four pin plug. I purchased a 7 - 4 pin plug-in adapter for about 10 bucks at Wal-Mart that I keep attached on that trailer most of the time. I'll detach and throw it in the back of the Jeep when needed for towing someone else's 4 pin trailer. Also, my camper is a 7 pin so I'm already good to go on that one. Hope this helps.

I bought this hitch and wire harness together but you can get just the harness.

It just plugs right into your tail light and provides a T connector to plug your factory wiring into it. Works perfect. I keep the wire tucked under the tray in the back but I'm thinking of covering it with that wire-harness-tubing stuff and connecting it to the hitch somehow. This is just the 4 pin harness. I'm not sure from your message if you need 4 or 7.
