I bought and installed thr e "correct" hoppy wireing kit on an '94 cherokee and it don't work right.
i tried the toll free hot line on the pack, get voice mail but never any return calls.
tried the web site, no help there either
tried the "pros" at autozone, got blank stares and 'huh?'
yes i put in in correctly, the plugs only fit one way.
yes the lights are wired correctly on the trailers, tried them on 3 other veichicals
should i just scrap the correct kit and wire it my self?

I'm not a trailer wiring guru but I believe the 94 Cherokee has the amber turn signals. If thats the case you may need another adapter to make it work with that type of system. Most cars use the same bulb as the brake Light for the turn signal. Hope this helps. |

It could be that you have a bad harness (it might have been incorrectly manufactured).
You said that it wasn't working correctly - what is doing wrong, or not doing at all?
