Alright, now we are going to do the same thing with this panel here, but we are not going to take it all of the way off. We are just going to loosen it up so we can get behind it. We have one more anchor point that we need to remover here too. We are going to take our lid off of our jack storage compartment and we are going to pop it loose too. And we just need to move just that little bit. That is all we need. 1:07
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Honda Odyssey
Today on this 2010 Honda Odyssey, we are going to install part number 87479 from Hidden Hitch. OK, the first thing we are going to do is go ahead and lower the exhaust to give us a little bit more working room over here on the passenger side of the vehicle. What we are going to do is spray down the hanger with some lubricant and just go ahead and just pull it out of the way. Next we will go ahead and show you where the mounting points are on the vehicle. We have three threaded holes here, here and here. Now, since this is a new vehicle, you probably will not have too much dirt and corrosion up in there, but it is always a good idea to put some lubricant in there and go ahead and run the bolt through just to make sure. OK we will go ahead and thread the bolt in just a little bit, make sure it threads in ok. Now, if there is some more junk in there, you could not thread it in there and you would probably have to go in a few threads, back it off, a few more threads, back it off and then clean it out again with some more lubricant. In the worst case scenario, you may have to use a tool to clean out the threads. We will continue on cleaning out all of the remaining holes on the vehicle. There are three on the passenger side here and three on the driver side. 1:00
Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2000 Honda Odyssey
Today on this 2000 Honda Odyssey, we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 118336. We are inside the rear cargo area of the Odyssey. We want to go ahead and locate the port that we are going to be plugging our wiring harness into. The harness is located on the inside of the vehicle, behind the interior panel on the driver side, basically right behind the taillight assembly. So to gain access to it, we are going to need to remove a few pieces. We need to remove the rear threshold piece here at the bottom. We have two tie-down points that need to be removed first. Those are held in with Philips head screws. And with the tie-down points removed, we can just pull up on the rear threshold piece and just release the locking tabs that are on the top side here. 0:40

OK, we are underneath the vehicle and we are looking actually at the driver side frame rail. We want to go ahead and point out the mounting holes we are going to be using to attach our trailer hitch. You will notice that we have multiple holes here in the bottom of the frame. We are going to be using three of the existing weld nuts here on the bottom of the frame to attach the hitch. We are going to use the two here at the rearmost portion of the frame and if you follow forward, we are going to use one at the forward side. Alright, and that is going to be the same on the passenger side as well. 0:34
Trailer Hitch Installation - 1999 Honda Odyssey
Today on this 1999 Honda Odyssey we are going to be installing part number 87479. This installation will also apply to part number 75270. The first thing that we are going to need to do is we are going to have to lower the exhaust from the exhaust mount in the rear of the vehicle on the passenger side and the one up towards the middle which is the second to last one. And it helps to have a strap to mount on the bottom of the vehicle, underneath the exhaust, to hold it up to keep from damaging the rest of the exhaust further up from the vehicle. So, if you can not find any mounting spots for your strap, you can probably just go ahead and use the existing rear springs. You want to just loosen it up enough to where you have a little bit of play so you can at least move around the exhaust to take it off the hanger. You can go ahead and tighten the strap to keep the exhaust from hanging down further than necessary. 0:50
Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2007 Honda Odyssey
Today on this 2007 Honda Odyssey we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 118438. We are in the rear cargo area of the Odyssey and we want to locate the port that we are going to plug our wiring harness into. The port is actually located inside of the vehicle directly behind the passenger side interior panel. To gain access to that we are going to have to remove a few of these interior pieces. We first need to remove the middle threshold section. We first want to remove the threaded tie down hooks at the rear threshold piece. With those removed we just want to take and gently pry it up from the bottom and what we are attempting to do is release the clips that are not only on the rear section but at the bottom as well. You may find that with it removed that some of the fasteners stayed inside of the vehicle. You do want to remove these and put them back on the threshold piece for reion after we are done. 00:47
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2007 Honda Odyssey
Today on this 2007 Honda Odyssey were going to be installing Valley hitch, part number V82400. Taking a look at the drivers side frame rail underneath the vehicle were going to go ahead and point out the mounting holes for our trailer hitch. You can see here at the end of the frame row weve got two existing inaudible0:00:14:2, and those are going to provide our two rear most attaching points for our trailer hitch. A little before that, the second hole which is kind of in line with our weld nuts is the third hole that were going to be using as our attaching point. Into that hole were going to be inserting a 7/16 carriage bolt block up through this access hole and pulling it down into place.Taking a look at the passenger side frame rail, again were going to be using the same two weld nut here at the rear of the frame as attaching points. There is not a third attaching point on the passenger side, however there is a third hole in the trailer hitch, so it is a little bit confusing.
Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2009 Honda Odyssey
Today we are going to install part number 90185 from Tekonsha, the Prodigy Brake Controller, and we will also use T-1 Connector part number 118438. And also we are going to use part number ETBC7 as the install kit for our 7-pole going up to our battery and the brake controller, on a 2009 Honda Odyssey. Our first step involved is we are actually going to install the T-connector first. Normally it installs behind this panel here, gets run underneath this threshold, and usually gets stored in the jack storage compartment. Since we are installing a brake controller and it is going to be using a 7-pole connector on top of it, so what is going to happen is we need to run our wire harness from the inside out. First off, we are going to take off this threshold here. We have to take off these anchor points. There are plastic pins throughout the bottom here, so what you need to do is pull this out gently until they pop out, like so. And once you have them all loose, just a gentle pull, pushing up on it, will pop the pins that are in here. The next step we are going to is we are going to go ahead and remove this panel. We will pull it out just a little bit so we can get access to the plug. The port is located on this assembly right here. It is on the top right-hand corner, and it is usually the only one that is open. And there is a separate ground right here which we attach to the factory ground right here. Next what we will do is we will secure our module here. And we will just put it back here - anywhere where it is convenient back behind the panel here. The next thing we want to do is go ahead and run our wire along the factory harness here, and then it will go straight down. And we have made a dimple right here where we are going to mark our - and drill a hole right here. So we are going to drill out a 1/2-inch hole. We drilled a 1/2-inch hole and installed a little simple, rubber grommet. Now what we are going to do is we are going to cut our wire up here and then we are going to feed it from the outside in. And we will make our reconnection up here. That way, at least we have some connections that are not outside all the time. We will go ahead and tape up our connections now, secure them up. And for now we are going to leave our access just like this. We will just put it underneath there - hide it underneath our carpet. And at this point we can go ahead and start putting the interior back together.
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2009 Honda Odyssey
Today we are going to install part number V82400, from Valley, a Class III receiver hitch, and we are going to install this on a 2009 Honda Odyssey. First we will show you where the hitch installs, starting on the drivers side frame rail: this threaded hole here, this threaded hole, and this hole right here. We will pull our hardware from the inside out. Going to the passengers side, above the exhaust here, it is going to use this threaded hole, this threaded hole, and then that is all it is going to use on the passengers side. There is an extra hole on the frame of the hitch for manufacturing purposes, but it is not going to be used.
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Honda Odyssey
Today we are going to be installing hitch part number 36417 from Draw-Tite on a 2008 Honda Odyssey. We are underneath the vehicle now and we are looking at the driver's side frame rail. As you can see here at the end, we have two existing weld nuts in the frame that we are going to be using as the two attaching points for the trailer hitch. And then over here on the passenger's side, we have the same two weld nuts that are also going to provide the attaching points. And you can see, we do have the exhaust in the way, so we are going to want to lower that down first. To do that, we are going to remove it off of the rubber hanger here at the rear position and then here at the more forward position, almost in the middle of the vehicle.
Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2005 Honda Odyssey
Today we are going to install part number 118438 from Tow Ready, and we are going to install this on a 2005 Honda Odyssey. All right, this is the plug that will go into the factory plug behind the plastic here, and we also have the ground for our unit, which will get grounded on the inside on sheet metal. So first we will take this off. All right, we are going to take off these tie-down points here we have one on each side. There are some buttons underneath here, too, so we are going to loosen those first. There you go - it just pops right up. Now you can see where we have got to take this off so we can pop this loose and out. We will take off the jack storage compartment door and then just easily pull it off on the side. Some are harder than others. And it will also help to take off this little tie-down point, too. You may have to put a tool back here to work it out. All right, once you have the threshold panel taken off, you can see why this has to come loose - now you can see why you have to take the threshold off, because this overlaps it. What is going to happen is that this is going to get pulled out just enough to run the harness in here, because the harness is going to be stored inside the jack storage compartment. The connection point is going to be on the passengers side of the vehicle behind this plastic here. It kind of helps to take this tie-down point off and pull it away. But there is a fuse box back behind the plastic we have to plug our harness into.
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2005 Honda Odyssey
Today we are going to install part number 87479 from Hidden Hitch, and we are going to install this on a 2005 Honda Odyssey. First we will show you where the hitch installs at. It is going to install in the existing weld nuts here, here, and back here. And also you can tell, it is kind of wet there, basically what we did was we cleaned out the bolt holes first, before we are even starting to install the hitch. Take a few minutes and go ahead and clean out those bolt threads. Basically, just spray them down with some WD-40, then use the bolt to start threading in and out just a little bit at a time.
Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2004 Honda Odyssey
Today we are going to install part number 118336 from Tow Ready, and we are going to do this on our 2004 Honda Odyssey. The port where we need to get to the wiring is inside the vehicle, so we need to open up the hatch and get to the inside, drivers side quarter-panel. To get behind our quarter-panel here, we have to get behind this access panel. Pull this loose, so you can undo this one, and then get back behind the wiring harness which is located in this general area, here. And there are a couple of clips back in here, and if you kind of put your fingers in there to work it out, it will come loose. Just keep working it back and forth until you get the brake loose until you get enough to where you can get your hand in there.
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2004 Honda Odyssey

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2005 Honda Odyssey
Today we are going to be installing hitch part number 90153 on a 2005 Honda Odyssey. The attaching points for the hitch are going to be on both sides of the frame. They are going to be these rear 2 most weld nuts. On a lot of the models that have seen at least one winter you will see lots of road grime and corrosion built up into these weld nuts. So definitely it would do you some good to go ahead and lubricate these with some WD40 and clean them out as best you can with the wire brush or basically anything you can get in there to clean it out. We are going to need to remove the exhaust off the exhaust hanger. Okay, with the weld nuts throughly cleaned out, we are going to want to go ahead and put the hitch up into position.
Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2006 Honda Odyssey
Step one would be to get to the wiring itself, thats going to require removing a couple of panels and loosening a couple. First thing to do is take out the trunk tray, the threshold and loosen the two side panels. Taking off that panel will allow us to get this panel loose here to get to the junction box inside. Wiring harness installation: Now that we have our panel is loosened you can see the junction box. It will use this port here and simply plug in. Once youve plugged it in, go ahead and ground it. Theres a handy ground screw right here well just use that. Last step is to mount the box here and well just stick it behind this harness here, it has self adhesive.
