| After removing the rear-mounted spare tire on my 2009 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon (4 door, 4wd) i noticed that the outer insulation (conduit) protecting the wiring harness for the third brake light had rubbed against the hard plastic grommet where the wiring harness exits the rear (outside) panel of the tailgate. the insulation had rubbed down to the point that the inner wires and their insulation were showing. this is a safety defect since, if not addressed, the rubbing would eventually go through the insulation on the wires, causing a short in close proximity to the spare tire. i reported my findings to jeep customer service and also took the vehicle to my local dealer. the dealer replaced the oem grommet with a rubber piece, and then ordered and installed a new wiring harness. *tr | |||
