Trailer wiring harness
Does anyone know where I can find a plug and play "T" harness for the tail lights of my 2015 Cherokee that allows me to have rear lights when I tow the jeep behind my camper? I have the factory tow package. The tow bar packages all want me to cut the wires to install the diodes. Surely someone makes a kit that doesn't require wire cutting. Thanks.

It does have the 4/7 pin combo plug. But I want to tow the Jeep and you can not use the combo plug to operate the Jeep lights from my Ram 3500. All options I have found require cutting the tail light wiring and installing diodes. Thanks.

If you plug the towing vehicle into the back plug of the Cherokee I guess it might turn on the Cherokee's lights when each action was initiated from the towing vehicle...but what if the tow vehicle had the lights on at the same time (like parking lights) and the Cherokee lights were activated from inside the Cherokee (like someone got in and pushed the brake pedal to ingage park or neutral) when setting up the tow bar? That is probably why the diodes are needed.

I believe the Cherokee light module is a powered module in the rear for the tow lights. I don't see why you couldn't turn the jeep turn jeep on to acc. And then plug in to rear plug with cable from camper and if it has power it should work. Does that make sense.
