Anyone know of a place to get the wiring for connecting the tow wiring on a KJ?

Years ago I went into the jeep dealership, got a simple plug and play wiring kit for my YJ, stopped at dealership today, apparently their kit needs to be fully wired from pcm all the way back.

Is there any easy fixes out there or will I have to splice into the electrical? Just need to wire for a simple 4 way flat to tow a utility trailer.

Thx

I have used the one from etrailer for almost 13 years now. Plugs into the harness in the right rear, flat plug type . Its pulled trailers 1000's of miles. 7 pin have to wire clear up through
Looks like they have one for 42 bucks Hopkins brand

Somewhere between being sane and insane!
Since the KJ's lights are computer controlled you will need the wiring that has a converter box that plugs into the wiring behind the passenger side interior 1/4 panel for the flat 4 wiring.

For the 7 pin wiring you need to run wiring all the way to the engine bay.
