Thank you very much Darkpaw & oleaver.. I was leaning towards just buying the harness from etrailer b/c i wasnt sure if that was a real wiring harness but now after reading what you wrote I will definitely be doing so... appreciate your time to post on here about that. Thank you.

Someone mentioned to me that it may not be an actual towing wiring harness but instead some type of connection for sensors & such for a backup camera?? ... now i'm really confused!!

Thanks for the input.. i think it would look sweet too, especially with what you said about adding a few extra chrome parts on top of things.. good call -- thanks! Have to check out some sites for chrome door handles, etc... good stuff.

Hi -- have a 2012 RED DJ and thinking about putting some nerf bars on it.. even though the black would probably look cleaner Im thinking i want to put the chrome type on ours... has anyone with a red DJ done this? If so, can you snap a pic? Thanks -- Aaron

So i tried to pull this harness off the bracket it is on but didnt have any luck and i sure didnt want to break it off. Below is what i am seeing under the bumper, next to the spare tire, this is the wiring harness for towing, correct? I am still not sure what i should be hooking up to or connecting to this to get it to work, does anyone know? Thanks again - Aaron

I saw a few replies about using the factory installed 4 pin wiring harness that is located beside the spare tire... did any of you get this to work or did it take a trip to a deal + $$ to get it working?

Thank you all for the replies... I will get it pulled down and try to hook up a 4 pin deal to see if it fires up.....

Bump -- Anyone able to offer any help? thank you -- Aaron

Hi -- So we bought our 2012 used a few months ago and I my hitch is coming tomorrow. I have been researching how to properly wire mine up... i looked on Etrailer and found a nice wiring assembly but then found some other info on here, etc that some DJ's have a towing prep package already there near the spare tire. So i got under there last night to see if mine had this there, low and behold I found that wiring right under there... so i think this is good news for me. So a few questions: 1. What do i need to buy to be able to use this factory installed wiring harness? The trailer i pull around is a standard 4 pin connection. 2. How do i disconnect this assembly from the frame under there to be able to use... I played with it for a second but didnt want to pull on it to hard and break something. 3. Do i have to take to dealer to get this flashed to use this wiring assembly, and if so it sounds like I may have to pay for this... I have seen different conversations saying some paid and others said they didnt have to? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me - Aaron ..
