Hi David,

than rewire the trailer that's too large for your Jeep:

Re: trailer wiring 04 sport.
 

Actually, that is an optical illusion, there are four pins that are all the
same size. That connector is commonly called a four pin flat connector. The
three pins that are protected on the vehicle are all power to the trailer
lights, the exposed pin is the ground. Of the three pins, 1 goes to the
running lights on both sides, 1 goes to the brake/turn on one side, and the
last one goes to the brake/turn on the other side. All lamps on the trailer
use a common ground.

Bill, he has the 4-pin flat connector, there is no cover. At least there is
no diagram on the cover.
