• What is Needed to Install a Brake Controller and 6-Way Trailer Connector on a 2008 Honda Pilot
  Since your trailer has a 6-Way connector installed you most likely have one of 3 wiring situations on your trailer. The first, and most likely, is that your trailer has electric brakes and a power wire to maintain a battery for auxiliary functions. The second is that you have the same power wire and backup lights at the rear of the trailer. The third, and least likely but possible, is that your trailer has hydraulic surge brakes and a coupler with electric backup lockout. If your trailer...

• 2006 Acura MDX Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation
  The owners manual for your 2006 Acura MDX will be the final authority on the towing capacity, but my research indicates that it would have 3,500 lbs of capacity. For a trailer hitch we have the Curt part # 13328 which is a fit and would work well. A local garage or trailer rental place would have no problem with this either. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118336 which is a confirmed fit and our most reliable wiring harness brand. Since you wanted to do some...

• Recommended Items Needed To Flat-Tow 2000 Honda CR-V
  The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 1528-3 is a great fit for your 2000 CR-V. This kit has removable arms when you are not towing.

For lighting I recommend the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, part # RM-155. This kit includes the bulbs and does not require tapping into the vehicle wiring. The # 118336 harness is not designed for...

• Can Curt Echo Brake Controller part # C51180 Be Installed on 2002 Honda CR-V
  As long as you have a 7-way trailer wiring connector at the rear of your 2002 Honda CR-V that has all trailer lighting functions active and an active 12 volt accessory circuit the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 is going to work well. If you didn't have wiring you'd first need to start with a 4-way like the Tekonsha part # 118336 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and then you'd have to adapt it to a 7-way with the part # 37185. You'd need to run the black wire...

• 5-Way Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Pilot for Reverse Lockout Solenoid
  If you don't have a 4-way installed on your 2008 Honda Pilot you will need one first. For that you would want part # 118336. Now to convert that to a 5-way (the fifth circuit is the reverse light circuit) you would want the part # 20036. This product allows you to tap into the reverse light circuit of the vehicle so that it can be used to operate an electric reverse light solenoid. Check out the install video that will give you an idea on how it installs.

• Troubleshooting Function Issues With Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harness # 118336
  The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118336 is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Acura MDX. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to troubleshoot. I recommend testing each function at the end of your 4-way connection. If they are working, then the issue is most likely with the ground wire on your trailers. If they are not working then you will want to test the individual functions on either side of the box. If the result is consistent,...

• Is there a Difference Between the Curt and Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2004 Honda Pilot
  As far as how the Curt and Tow Ready trailer wiring harnesses for the 2004 Honda Pilot function and install they are the same. The guts in each of the converter boxes is not quite the same. The Curt harness # C55336 uses surface mount circuitry meaning components are soldered directly to a circuit board. The Tow Ready/Tekonsha harness # 118336 uses through-hole circuitry which you have probably seen before in just about everything. If it were me I would go with # 118336 because we here...

• What is Purpose of Converter Box On Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness # 118336 For 2004 Acura MDX
  The black converter box on Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118336, is for use with vehicles, like your 2004 Acura MDX that have separate turn and brake light wires. Some vehicles send only one signal per wire, creating what is called a 3-wire system: one wire for the left turn, one wire for the right turn, and one wire for the brake signal (common on vehicles with amber turn signals). A converter will reduce it to a standard 2-wire system needed for wiring a trailer. There are still...

• Installing 7-Pin Trailer Connector and Optional Brake Controller on 2004 Honda Pilot
  You're right. Unless the manufacturer pre-wires for a 7-pin lighting harness, the kits will all be for a 4-pole connector as you already saw. However, upgrading that 4-pole to a 7-pin is no problem. We'll start by installing the Tekonsha # 118336 4-pole wiring harness. This installs quite easily without cutting or splicing any wires. This will plug in near the rear hatch. I have attached a installation demo video. Next we will install an etrailer # ETBC7 7-pin receptacle. This will...

• Is a Brake Controller Wiring Harness Connector Available on the 2005 Honda Pilot
  The Wiring Adapter, part # 3070-P will work on the Honda Ridgeline only. The 2007 Pilot does not have the provision for plugging in a controller under the dash.

The install kits contain everything necessary for installing your brake controller. Since your Pilot already has the 4-pole trailer...

• Recommended Ball Mount for a Rise of 18 inches When Installing Draw-Tite # 75720 on a 2002 Odyssey
  The height of the trailer hitch when we measure for the videos can vary based on the year of the vehicle, inflation of the tires, or even how much cargo is loaded in the vehicle so the numbers we give are good to use as an estimate. If you check out the attached video of the Draw-Tite # 75270 being installed on a 2003 Honda Odyssey you can see that the ground to hitch height it 12 inches and from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rearmost edge of the bumper is only 4-1/2 inches.
