you'll have a sightly unique issue w/ the (pre-2009) wranglers. pre-09's have a steering wheel (column) that locks.....those models have to have a key in the ignition (turned on) to keep the steering wheel unlocked (while towing).

You'll need to pull a fuse (its marked) to disable the ignition system (to prevent draining of the battery (because the key is on) while towing.

after mid 2009 Mopar removed the Wrangler Steering wheel locks (because they know so many folks tow them as toads).

read the owners manual, you'll want to keep the auto transmission or manual transmission gear box IN GEAR or PARK when towing....of course the Transfer case is placed in NEUTRAL while towing.



couldn't you just run a dummy glad-hand shut-off on the unused side?

I think i have 2 extra if youre interested in them (cheap), you pay shipping.

I run these on both sides at the back of our coach to prevent any leak down at the trailer couplers....I've been known to use the trailer brake activation handle (when I'm lazy) to shut off the cruise control or give a little taillight / brake check to anyone who's following me a bit too close.





Anytime!
