Need Help Wiring My 92' Jeep Cherokee

[chicubs08]

I bought a 4 wire universal Vehicle Kit from auto zone. I hooked it up to my jeep but i don't know where the tail light cable goes? My tail light has 2 cables 1 for the brake when the lights are on and the other one for when you hit the brakes. Where does the cable go? If i connect the to either one, the other wont work.

This vehicle is equipped with directional's in the rear right ? You will need a converter box, about $10.

What do you mean by directional's? All i know is there are 2 cables for the Tail Light. 1 for is for when you turn the lights on the tail lights turn on and other one is for when you brake..

There should be a wire for running lights, a wire for break/turn lights. Runninglights are brown on your wiring kit, the brakes are the same as the turn signals. If turn and break are different lights that u need a converter http://www.etrailer.com/pc-VWH~118175.htm where u bought your kit from should have one too.

On your vehicle it should go, Green is right turn/brake, yellow is left turn/brake, brown is running lights, white is chassis ground. Some times there is an extra break light for center lights.

Or you can get one of these, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/91-9...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

it includes the converter box, cherokees have seperate turn/break lights thats why one works and not the other, teh converter converts the signal to 1 wire for the left turn/brake and right turn/brake

you can not hardwire a jeep u must have the converter box with the plugs that mate up with the plugs,but if you get the converter box for hardwire the red wire that goes to the brake u must ground it out,then the brakelite will work,to find the pluge look under the plastic behind the rear wheels oat the back corners of your jeep if its a jeep yj or a jeep like it

I just bought the Hoppy kit for my 93 and it's nice because the trailer harness is replaceable. The draw-tite box that I am replacing did not have that feature. After spending ten trillion hours trying to figure out why the left signal lamp didn't work on one of my trailer, I discovered that at some point over the last few months the converter box blew. That was the last thing I thought to check, after basically rewiring the trailer twice-over.
