Checking to see if anyone has found a Brake Control Adapter for their Tekonsha P3 controller yet?
With my other JLUR I always ordered the conversion kit from E-Trailer to turn the factory 4-Pin to a 7-Pin plug. It came with the plug, wiring to run up front thru the frame to the battery and then back under dash to hook up to my brake controller. I always needed the 7-way because my trailer has the e-brakes and no I'm not towing over the recommended 3500 lbs. It always worked great, just kind of a pain in the butt install.
Forward to the new JL. It comes with the 7-way plug factory and like with all vehicles with the 7-way tow package it has the plug under the dash to plug the controller into. I happy ro see this and eliminate having to do the hard way. The problem is E-Trailer doesn't have an adapter plug for the JL yet. I even called Tekonsha tech support and he said nothing available, hard wire it. I told him no thanks. the beauty of having a factory 7-Pin tow package is that it's plug and play. I'm not cutting the female plug off of my are JL to hardwire.
So I tried a Tekonsha Brake Control harness for the Ram trucks that fit perfect male to female under the dash. Went out to deer camp, hooked up and when I started to pull the back wheels of the dual axels would drag. Unhook the brake controller and it was fine. Nothing wrong with the brake controller, my trailer or the factory plug so I'm thinking using the Ram plug even though it fits isn't going to work. For the Ram it's a 3024-P harness. So I'm looking around today and they have a 30-14-P for 2014-present Cherokees/GC. It looks identical to the 3024-P. I'm thinking about rolling the dice and seeing if the Cherokees plug works but it looks identical to the Rams 3024. does anyone use the Tekonsha and what did you do for a Brake Control Harness?? The one on top is the 3014 that is for Cherokee and the one blow is the 3024 for Ram.
