Installation of a Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2001 Honda CR-V


Today on this 2001 Honda CRV we're going to be installing Wiring Harness, product number 118336. So I'm going to start with the cargo flooring area here and we're going to just start by taking the actual floor liner, just kind of rolling it up out of the way, shouldn't need to fully remove it. Then we've got the driver's side, little storage compartment here, go ahead and remove the cover for it. There is a Phillips head screw here helping to hold this lower floor liner into place. We want go ahead and remove that. If we move a little bit forward on the liner there is a pushpin fastener here, we want to go ahead and pop that off.

If we go back towards the rear section we've got an existing tow hook that we're going to go ahead and remove. And you're going to need a 10 millimeter socket to do that. And this should give us enough access room to get off our 4-pole plug back out. We'll go ahead and move on next to removing the speaker, we're going to first go ahead and pop off the cover. And then we've got three Phillips head screws that we need to remove to go ahead and pull the speaker out.

On each side there are two little tabs. If you press them in you can pull away the speaker and separate that. And then right next to it you can see our tow package plug that we were going to be using to plug into, remove the blue tape from it. With the plug located, we can go ahead and start feeding our harness back behind the panel. This angled cut out here we can actually use and feed our harness back through there, and we could find it on the backside and pull it up into place.

Go ahead and find your plug back there and go ahead and pull it up into place. What we can do is go ahead and just take the converter box and slide it back through that same area and it will hide nicely right behind there for you. And then with it pulled up we can just go ahead and plug it into the factory plug here on our CRV. What I'm going to do here is I'm just going to use the storage compartment here as the storage area for my 4-pole, so when I go back during the reinstallation I'm going to go ahead and just put a little cut here in the floor liner so that the plug can come through. So from there all we need to do is go ahead and reinstall everything, the speaker and the fasteners to the floor liner and our installation will be completed.

And again, we can just go ahead and store the 4-pole inside the storage compartment here, put our floor liner back on, and it's perfectly hidden. And then when you want to go ahead and use the harness, again, just go ahead and pull it out of the storage compartment, take it, and feed it out the rear cargo door. You go ahead and plug in another trailer. You can go ahead and shut the door on 4-pole and don't have to worry about it being pinched, the weather stripping here at the end will prevent that from happening. That will conclude the installation of Wiring Harness product number 118336 on a 2001 Honda CRV.

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2007 Honda CR-V

Today on this 2007 Honda CR-V we are going to install part number 118427 from Tow Ready. Alright, the first thing we need to do is get inside the vehicle and remove the interior panels to find the port that we need to plug the wire harness in to. Remove the floor panel until we are down to the spare tire. We also need to remove the threshold so we can pull apart this side panel right here. First we will go ahead and remove the tie-down loops that are on the inside here. We will just go ahead and remove them. We have the driver side done. Now let us do the passenger side. OK to remove the plastic rivets it is a little bit different from most. You actually take the center and push it down. And then it pops right out. You can use your fingers or you can use a special tool to help pop them up. But usually apply pressure and they will release on their own. Pop open this panel. There is a little tab you have to pull out. And then you want to use a trim tool to pop the releases here. There is a plastic rivet here that you have to remove as well. It gives you a little bit extra wiggle room. And then you can pop the panel a little bit more until you can see the interior wiring. 1:08
