2021 Jeep Wrangler JLU High Altitude. 2018 Jeep Cherokee Altitude
Got a new 2021 Jeep Wrangler High Altitude Unlimited a couple of months ago and have just started some mods. Question is has anyone installed AMP Powersteps on a 2021? Ordered them from Quadratec, received them and have them installed. Everything worked good except the wiring. Called AMP Research and was told they have not been verified to work on 2021's. Called Quadratec and they offered a refund but don't really want to go through the hassle of removing them and not having the steps. Was wondering if anyone has installed them on a 2021 yet? The problem is not knowing if Jeep has changed any of the wire colors, I am using the over ride switch to use them now. I just don't want to mess up the computer by hooking them up wrong. Thanks to anyone that can help.

I seen the thread on the 2020's but don't know if there were any more changes to the 2021's.

If they get yours installed and working, can you take some good pictures of where the wires hook up under the right front panel? Thanks, my wife would appreciate if I finished hooking hers up.

The steps are # 78132-01A Powerstep Xtreme and the switch is # 79105-01A. But I think the correct switch would be 79106. The steps fit and work great, just what she wanted. Just doesn't work with the doors only the switch.

Rogerutley, was wondering if they'd got your steps installed and are they working properly?

I have a friend that installed them on a 2021. They seem to work fine from the video he posted.

I have the switch figured out, I know Quadratec sold me more then needed. It's the wires under the passengers kickpanel I am unsure of. No one will say what the wire colors are for 2021 Jeep Wranglers. If you could pull the kickpanel off and get some pictures there, that would help me a lot. Sorry I just have never been the type to pay to have something done and would hate to have to pay for the 4 wires to be hooked up when everything else is done.

That is where I wish I could see better but know it's a hard place to get good pictures. I am guess they are wiring the same as the 2020's. Thanks for the help.

We just did a set about a month ago, but I'm not sure if it was a 20 or 21. I assume the issue is the same. I called Amp-Research and they were very helpful. If I am remembering correctly, the wire colors listed in their instructions are correct, but the molex plug color was different. Hope this helps.
