panel by chance? I was referring to the Power distribution block under the hood --where there is clearly has a 50AMP fuse marked trailer tow , 3rd one in from the right. 50A Your advice to tap the harness is a great idea and a lot more elegant than running a line. I found the instrucution for installling the factory hitch harness, so that is helpful .

Re: Trailer Hitch Wiring - After market Reese
I seem to be having a trouble with numbers lately. You said 1997, and
I read 1993. Sorry about that. The information about the wiring harness is probably incorrect also, but there should be something similar in the 1997. Might be on a different side in the rear. ---- On Fri, 07 Sep 2007 09:36:23 -0700, jamest <jamest@sympatico.ca> wrote: >Were you looking at the Power Junction block by the passenger kick >panel by chance? > >I was referring to the Power distribution block under the hood --where >there is clearly has a 50AMP fuse marked trailer tow , 3rd one in from >the right. >50A > >Your advice to tap the harness is a great idea and a lot more elegant >than running a line. >I found the instrucution for installling the factory hitch harness, so >that is helpful . > >On Sep 6, 12:43 pm, ---- <w6...@k7yca.org> wrote: >> On Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:41:42 -0700, jamest <jam...@sympatico.ca> >> wrote: >> >> >> >> >Greetings, >> >I installed a hitch, snapped on the wiring harness back at the access >> >panel behind the spare. >> >I have not yet run the fused power line to the battery as the >> >instructions indicate. >> >> >Reading the shop manual I see a 50 amp fuse in the PDC for trailer >> >wiring. >> >What is its purpose , since i didnt get a factory hitch. >> >> >Is there a better place to tap power than having to run a line up to >> >the battery? >> >> >97 ZJ Limited 318 >> >> >thanks, >> >james >> >> I don't see any 50-amp fuses anywhere.
