    7 Pin Wiring Harness Electrical Issues

    I could use some advice here. I installed the two wiring harnesses for a 7 pin Wiring Harness in my Liberty. The install went well it seemed. Hook up to a 4 way adapter worked fine. Then I hooked up to a trailer with brakes and found the brakes were engaging. The issue there is I hadn't...

    Should I be concerned (replaced valves/locks at 10k)

    Bought the Jeep in December, rental return. Noticed a rough idle and took it in, dealership took good care of me. Diagnosed the problem as broken locks on the valves. Spent 2 days in the shop. They replaced valves and locks on all cylinders. First time they replaced 1,3,5 and then 2,4,6...

    HOW TO: Tow Stuff (Hitches, Harnesses and Brakes)

    Never mind, got both wiring harnesses installed plus the hitch. Next comes the Prodigy brake controller. Tips from the first post were very helpful. Thanks.

    HOW TO: Tow Stuff (Hitches, Harnesses and Brakes)

    Dave or anyone of the "chosen few" - I have a question. I have the secondary wiring harness. The directions appear to state that I remove 4 wires from the plug at the rear of the Jeep. It doesn't show these needing to be cut or wrapped, but I am assuming I don't want these just dangling...

    Strange thing at the Car Wash - get out, push the Jeep?

    Thanks for the replies and the links, seems they labeled all Jeeps not just the GC. I may point that out if I go in there again. Normally I do like to wash at home, but when its 10 degrees I don't need a sheet of ice on my driveway. Guess its good to know the guy wasn't feeding me a line...

    Adding Tow Package / HD Cooling Question

    Jen in WA State you are required to have trailer brakes if the trailer and contents exceed 3,000#. For your small trailer like a U-Haul 5x8 you should be fine with a 4pin wiring setup. If you are going to tow more than that out of town you will need brakes on the trailer. If you are going for...

    Adding Tow Package / HD Cooling Question

    You'll need a 7 pin if the trailer has electrical brakes - I don't know what if any most U-Haul rigs have but I suspect that a 4 pin would be easy enough. Call U-Haul if you want they can quickly tell you, and even install the hitch and wiring for you I considered them but if I only wanted the...

    Strange thing at the Car Wash - get out, push the Jeep?

    So on Friday anticipating installing the new hitch I figured I'd run the Jeep through the Mister Car Wash. Taken my F350, LeBaron, Catera, Avalanche - you name it right through the wash. I pull up and the guy says we'll drive it through. I reminded him I just wanted the cheap wash, you know I...

    OEM Vendors

    I hope what I experienced was just a hick up, but I can honestly say I really don't recall seeing the red message when I placed the order - maybe it was there. But as a new buyer it sure wasn't clear that prices may go up. As for being down, yes I noticed but for some time nothing would load...

    OEM Vendors

    This isn't to flame anyone, especially the_titan - nobody's fault but my own. I am beginning to regret ordering from makeitmopar.com now. I placed the order on the 7th, then I get an email on the 9th about Damon updating the prices. I go check that evening and what do I find? The price went...

    Shelf for cargo area..

    Looks sweet! I'm wanting something to cover that area since I didn't get the cover with mine. May have to see if I can find some material that matches the Khaki interior and make one too. Thanks for the details!

    OEM Vendors

    Hey guys I need to order some towing parts, pricewise the Jeep stuff isn't much more than the Draw-Tite hitch. I really need the two wiring harnesses to add 7-pin wiring for a brake controller. I've found two vendors; one Wyckoff that was or is a vendor here and autowebaccesories.com - I...
