2008 Honda Questions and Answers

• Can a Supplemental Power Steering Cooler Be Installed on a 2008 Honda Odyssey with Factory Cooler
  
• When installing a power steering cooler like # D13200 on a vehicle that has a factory power steering cooler, the best thing to do is install the supplemental cooler in line with the factory cooler. What you will do is find the return line from the factory cooler that leads back to the power steering pump. The factory return line will run to supplemental cooler # D13200 and then from there back to the pump. I have included a picture showing the direction of flow for you.

• Availability of 2-Inch Hi-Rise Hitch Ball with 2-Inch Rise and 3/4-Inch Diameter Shank
  
• We offer a range of hi-rise hitch balls but none has a 3/4-inch diameter shank; all are 1-inch or 1-1/4-inch diameter. You can instead use a ball mount with the equivalent rise to accomplish the height adjustment you need. If you have a 2-inch hitch receiver you can use Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2753, which provides either a 2-3/4-inch rise or 4-inch drop. This ball mount uses a hitch ball with a 1-inch shank, such as Tow Ready # 19247. If you need a hitch pin and clip you can use Hidden Hitch

• What to do if a Transmission Cooler Line Comes off and Fluid is Leaked
  
• It really is hard to say, your best bet would be to repair the line if you have not already. Fill the transmission up with the appropriate amount of fluid and then take it to a transmission repair shop to have them check it out. Hopefully you get lucky, but there could be a wide range of potential internal problems depending on how long the vehicle was attempted to be driven and the temperature of the transmission.

• Is a Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Available for a 2008 Honda Odyssey
  
• The bike racks are not vehicle specific, so you will need to match them to your hitch size, the number of bikes you want to carry, and the available clearance on your vehicle. You could have either a 1-1/4 inch or a 2 inch hitch on your 2008 Honda Odyssey, so you will want to measure the hitch opening if you are not certain which size is currently installed. To determine how much clearance you need, measure from the hitch pin hole to a point where you are past the bumper. We list the cleara

• What 2-Inch Hitch Receivers for 2008 Honda Element SC for Use with Cargo Basket and Small Trailer
  
• Since you intend to use a cargo basket and/or tow a small trailer with your 2008 Honda Element SC I suggest a Class III hitch receiver that will offer higher tongue weight capacity. For your Element SC we can offer two Class III 2-inch receivers, one from HiddenHitch and one from DrawTite. Both offer 350-lb tongue weight and 3500-lb gross towing weight ratings. Both install without welding or drilling, but both do require trimming of the rear bumper fascia. We do not have any 2-inch hitch rece

• Fuse ByPass Recommendations for Flat Towing 2008 Honda CR-V
  
• When flat towing a vehicle, sometimes it is necessary to pull a fuse to prevent the battery in your towed vehicle from being drained when you reach your destination. To prevent this, we have a couple options. The first is the TowDaddy AutoFUSE Automatic Fuse Disconnect # TD703. It bypasses your vehicles mini-fuse and provides an alternative to removing the fuse every time you tow your vehicle. The other option is a fuse bypass such the Roadmaster Fuse ByPass # RM76511.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Honda Accord with a 30 ft Motorhome
  
• The first thing you want to do to determine if your vehicle can be flat towed is to consult towing section of the owners manual of your 2008 Honda Accord. There should be a section on flat towing that will list any restrictions on flat towing that your vehicle may have. If you owners manual says you are good to go the first thing you are going to need is a base plate kit. For that I recommend the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521561-1 that you referenced.

• Can Curt Multi-Purpose Ball Mount be Used for Extra Height for Cargo Carrier on 2008 Honda Odyssey
  
• The Curt # D210 is designed to hold a cargo carrier in the top while towing but can also be used exactly how you are using it; to get more height. Provided that you are withing the capacity of the hitch, D210, vehicle, and carrier (whichever has the lowest tongue weight capacity) then there will be no problems. The D210 receiver portion has a capacity of 350 pounds. There should be a sticker on the hitch that lists its tongue weight capacity. The hitches we carry for the 2008 Odyssey all hav

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Honda Pilot
  
• I do have a way you can carry 3 bikes on your 2008 Honda Pilot but you cannot use a trunk mount because the vehicle is unable to support the weight at the point where the carrier must be placed. What I recommend, and what will be the safest and most secure way to carry bikes, is to use a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike racks. For your 2008 Honda Pilot the most popular hitch is # 75599. This is a 2 inch hitch that will allow you many options for a bike rack. I have linked instructions and a

• Roof Rack Recommendations for 2008 Honda CR-V EX
  
• The Rhino Rack Roof Rack # RLCP15 you referenced is a compatible fit for your 2008 Honda CR-V. The part number represents only the mounting pads for the roof rack, so you will need the actual crossbars as well. I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Roof Rack Crossbars # RAB1250. They are lightweight aluminum bars that are aerodynamic and reduce drag and wind noise based on their elliptical shape. They are easy to install and come with a limited lifetime warranty. I have also included a link to

LEDs combine the virtues of superior luminescence, ultra-low power consumption, low heat output and extremely long working life. These Putco LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours and they carry a lifetime warranty from Putco. Sin

• Where Should Snow Tire Chains be Placed on a 2008 Honda CR-V
  
• Chains should be placed on the main drive wheels of a vehicle but can be put on all 4 if you wanted to. On a front wheel drive vehicle they would need to go on the front. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for information on the use of chains with the vehicle. For a 2008 Honda CR-V I show the tire size as 225/65-17. I have included a link to the chains recommended for the 2008 Honda CR-V with this tire size. If you have a different tire size you can use the chain fit guide, link

• Trailer Hitch, Weight Distribution and Accessories for a 2008 Honda Odyssey and Airstream Trailer
  
• First, the towing capacities of a vehicle are set. Even though a trailer hitch may be rated for use with weight distribution and the rating when using it is higher that still does not allow the vehicle to tow more weight than what it is rated for. You will need to get the tongue weight below the 350 pound limit of the vehicle to safely tow the trailer. You can do this by moving weight towards the back of the trailer if at all possible. For a trailer hitch the most popular option is the Hidden

• What you are seeing under your 2008 Accord is normal. You will not really be able to see the attachment points. You have to remove several components first before you can start installing the Blue Ox base plates # BX2249. The attachment points are located on the vehicle frame which is not readily visible at the point where the base plate cross member installs. Since you already plan on using a Blue Ox tow bar (base plates are only compatible with Blue Ox Adventurer, Acclaim, Ambassador, Avent

• Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Ridgeline
  
• Yes, the CURT T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector # C55585 is the correct wiring harness for your 2008 Honda Ridgeline. To install this kit you will basically just need to access the tail light harness on both sides of the rear of your vehicle and install the harness from the # C55585 inline with it. Check out the installation instructions I attached that detail this also. If you need a 4 to 7-way adapter for a trailer that does not have electric brakes you could

• Where do the Thule Aero Roof Rack Feet Mount on a 2008 Honda Fit
  
• There are specific places for the clips that fit in the door frame. The fit information is included with the Fit Kit, # THKIT2180, which fits the 2008 Honda Fit. You will measure from the top edge of the windshield seam (not the glass) back 14 inches. This is where the front edge of the front pad will be. Once you have it placed in the proper position and the same on the opposite side, mount the front bar. Then measure from the centerline of the front bar back 24 inches. This is where the center

• On a Trailer Towed by 2008 Honda Ridgeline Trailer has Running Lights but No Turn or Brake Lights
  
• If your 2008 Honda Ridgeline has a factory trailer wiring harness, check the owners manual for any fuses and relays related to the tow package wiring that may need to be replaced. If everything checks out or if you have an aftermarket wiring harness like # 118400 then use a circuit tester like # 3808 if needed to test the pins on the connector. If the pins on the connector do not show the proper signals then you know there is a wiring issue with the Ridgeline wiring that needs to be addresse

• What Bike Rack Fits Both 2008 Honda Accord and 2008 Honda Pilot
  
• The Yakima KingJoe Pro 2 Bike Rack # Y02625 is a fit for your 2008 Honda Accord; however, we currently do not have a trunk-mounted bike rack option for your 2008 Honda Pilot. To use the same bike carrier on both of your vehicles, I recommend a hitch-mounted rack; specifically, the Thule Vertex 2 Bike Carrier # TH9028. This carrier will fit both a 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitch receiver and has cushioned anti-sway cradles and a tilting mast for rear cargo access. I have included a link to instruc

• Recommendations for Carrying 3 Bikes with a 2008 Honda Odyssey
  
• A hitch and bike rack would the best option for your vehicle. I checked with our trunk mounted bike rack manufacturers and none of them have fits for your 2008 Honda Odyssey. The great thing about a hitch is that if you ever need to tow a small trailer or use a cargo carrier you would be ready to go. For a hitch I would recommend you get a Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch # 87479. This is a Class III hitch that has plenty of capacity and would work well with a bike rack. I attached installation

• Trailer Lights Do Not Work when Running Lights are On with Wiring Harness 118420, 2008 Honda Accord
  
• Most likely there is a bad ground, a short, or an overload condition. First check the ground at the converter box and make sure it is attached to a clean bare metal surface. Then do the same for the main ground on the trailer side. And finally do the same for the lights on the trailer. Ground issues normally show up when there is more load on the harness. That could be why it only shows up when the vehicle lights are on. To check for shorts you will need to inspect the wiring on the trailer s

The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch trailer hitches have a slightly higher tongue weight capacity at 750 lbs than the Curt hitch, but the Curt hitch is more economically priced. The tongue weight capacity of the Curt hitch is 500 lbs. All three trailer hitches have a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 5,000 lbs.

• Comparing Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2008 Honda Odyssey
  
• The Curt wiring harness # C56161 and the Tow Ready wiring harness # 118438 for the 2008 Honda Odyssey install the same way. Both install behind in a junction box located in the cargo area of the van. This is an ideal setup because it uses the factory location on the vehicle. The Curt harness actually uses a newer technology inside the converter box. Both harnesses would work well for you. I have linked instructions and a video for you.

• Base Plates and Accessories for 2008 Honda Fit Sport
  
• According to my contact at Roadmaster, the # 521558 base plate kit will indeed fit all models of the 2008 Honda Fit, including the Sport model. In my research, I found that the Fit is capable of being flat towed without modification, but you will want to consult the owners manual and follow the recommendations listed under the Recreational Towing section. You will also need a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution and a supplemental braking system to flat tow your Fit. The Roadmast

• Tips for Installing the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Bulb and Socket Kit on a 2008 Honda Pilot
  
• I recommend removing the tail light assemblies on your 2008 Honda Pilot before drilling into the back of them to install the bulbs. Also make sure that you do not drill through any vital components on the assembly. The wiring should be able to get routed down through the vehicle through where the tail light assembly mounts. When drilling, use bits that are made for plastic and start with a small pilot hole first and work your way up to the correct size for the bulbs. When routing the wiri

• Will Pro Series Axis 3 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Honda Civic
  
• The Pro Series Axis 3, # PS1370600, does not have a specific vehicle fit guide. However, it is very likely it will fit because all of the Thule and Yakima trunk mount racks are listed as a fit (see link). For any of the trunk mount racks, I recommend using a bike adapter, # TH982XT, if you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works.

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2008 Honda CR-V and Infiniti M35
  
• Because the mounting hooks would need to be in direct contact with the glass at the top of the liftgate, Thule does not consider the Raceway # TH9001 or any other of their trunk mounted racks as being a fit for your Honda CR-V. The weight of the rack plus the bikes carried on it can cause the rear glass to shatter, which would be a bad thing. Yakima, however states that a few of their trunk mounts like the KingJoe Pro, part # Y02624 or the SuperJoe Pro, part # Y02629 will fit the Honda CRV if

• Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Odyssey Towing a Boat Trailer

So that leaves suspension enhancement which will be more cost effective and easier to install anyway so it is a win/win. There are a few different system for your 2008 Honda Odyssey, see link.
