Aftermarket or genuine Mopar harnesses?

Got dielectric grease on the connectors?

While definitely a good idea, it won't help. The problem is apparently inside the taillight converter box, which, BTW, should be a sealed unit.

The first 2 where from a trailer hitch installer not sure but probably after market the one i installed today from Canadian Tire supplied by Reese , no i never used dielectric grease in the tail light connectors never thought of it when i had them apart there was no corrosion but did put it on trailer connector

I'd rewire the trailer too, just in case it's causing the problem.

Im going to check my trailer when i get boat out of winter storage , In Feb i had to disconnect trailer wireing from jeep tail lights as it was blowing fuses and had not towed my boat since Oct , not sure ill see how long this 3rd harness last or maybe just the first 2 where faulty Thanks
