Does the new JL have a power port that is active with the ignition off.

This will prevent the brake controller from eventually draining the Jeep's battery. I have a Roadmaster setup. I ran a wire from Pin 2 (center pin) through a 15A fuse, and connected it to the Jeep's battery. While I currently have a TJ era Jeep, I will be adding a JL version soon (Unlimited Wrangler Rubicon with Eco-diesel).

On my TJ, the port was always active. If anyone is towing a JL , where do you plug your braking device in. dsteinman • View posts Los Alamos, NM Senior Member Joined: 09/19/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 01/21/20 07:45am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator No, it is not powered all the time. You can get this Cooltech powerport kit. to keep the power on all the time. It is simple to install. I still have to finish running the brake-away line to the interior. Then I can start towing the JL.

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but we just bought a new JLUR and want to downsize our rig to a Sprinter C. We'd love to hear from anyone with a Sprinter towing a JLU how it is going. I assume you must be near GCVW.
