Has anyone installed a brake controller on a 2013-2014 Unlimited Sport?
I wonder if it would be a simple install.

I highly recommend the Mopar 7 pin trailer wiring harness. (I bought mine on Amazon.) It uses a "plug and play" connection behind the driver's side rear brake light. Following instructions, you pickup battery positive and negative connections at the battery and it has a blue wire in the harness that is long enough to reach the inside of the Jeep at the driver's feet. I believe the wire this connects to is the white wire with a tan stripe. Easy install.

I have the tekonsha brake controller. Great piece of equipment. No need to run the negative all the way to the battery, There is a ground location available at the driver's left foot. I mounted mine on the dash left of the steering wheel just below the light switch. You will need to tie into an accessory switch or the thing will stay on since it has a back-lit screen. I would recommend running a relay to switch the ground instead of pulling all the power directly from the accessory circuit.
