- This video is demonstrating how to install a REDARC Trailer Brake V3 on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude Ecodiesel with 7200 lbs towing capacity. This video has no sponsorship affiliation. I am an amateur with some electrical knowledge. Thanks for looking.
Hey I just finished up installing the TowPro Liberty on my 2020 Grand Cherokee Altitude. Followed your lead in knob placement and shortened the Jeep wiring harness. I took photos of everything just in case. I did the console removal and stuffed a garbage bag around the base of the shifter to catch the screw. I mounted the "box" in the same location as yours. I didn't order the extra "faceplate" that says "Trailer Brake" so the knob is the only item sitting on the console. Then followed your wire color matching to the stock Jeep wires. After connecting the wires. I was going to disconnect the vehicle battery but just plugged it in. Like any household appliance. Finally just took my time finding the plug in port while holding the new plug. Time and patience. Plugged it in and works great. Thank you for the great video, gave me the confidence to do this as I am not electronically inclined. (a couple of poorly installed stereos in the 1970s) Big Thanks.
Wow! Glad it all worked out for you. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I just had mine delivered yesterday and will install soon.
Nice job. Just got mine and will install as soon as it cools down outside...
Thanks for taking the time and doing a great video.
Great job - I appreciate you going to the trouble to make the video. Also great to see you using an Australian product!
Good job. Very informative, and from a non-pro not using anything fancy. A true help for the DIY'er! Thank you. Saw your review on Amazon.
Thanks ! I’m glad I could help someone out there. I towed with it over the Memorial Day Holiday and it worked beautifully.
Nice Job - looks great. Thanks for posting. I will do same in my "18 SRT. I am a carpenter and advise to go slow with light pressure and control with the 1" spade drill
FYI you can also throw the faceplate away and instead drill 2 holes (3.5mm and 10mm) with centres at 7.5mm. This will allow the control knob to locate directly into the console!
Another excellent idea I hope someone can use! Thanks for the tip.
I don't know. I saw another video where he installed the controller beside the E-brake behind the left panel and had enough wire to run to the switch (same location as yours) without cutting any wires.
That would be great to share! please post the link, so there would be options to decide which application would work best for the situation.
Really appreciate the details. I just got mine and am waiting for the cable specific to my vehicle. I don’t understand why my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited X which comes with factory deluxe towing would not include the break controller? My Chevy Silverado came with everything.
Exactly! Especially when spending 40k + on a vehicle!
Question.. I ended up installing mine over by the fuel door button on the left side.. but after it's was all buttoned up,. Does it light up when your cars started to let you know there's power ?
No. Lights up only when trailer pin connected.
@@surgpsych thanks. Your install was really helpful.
Looking to place mine over by that fuel door button as well. How did you remove or loosen up that panel to gain access behind it?
@@brianlombardo1533 At 4:40 you can see the tool I used to pop the plastic tabs from the fascia. It’s easy. That will give access to the entire area under the steering wheel column.
Hello will this fit on a 2020 keep grand Cherokee SRT?
