Installation of a Custom T-One Wiring Harness on a 2007 Acura MDX

If you are planning to tow a boat or trailer with your MDX you will need a wiring harness to power the trailers lights and turn signals. Luckily we have a custom made wiring harness just for the MDX. This harness provides a flat four pole plug for the trailer and quickly plugs into the waiting tow package port on the MDX. When you are not towing anything the plug is stored in the jack storage compartment keeping it safe from the elements and road debris. Watch this quick video we prepared to get an even better idea on what you need to do to get ready to tow.

To begin our install, we have to get inside the vehicle and open up the rear hatch and open up a few panels. First we will take this panel off which pops off. We need to get below this and we will set that back, we need to take this panel off and get this out of our way. We need to get behind this carpet here, so this threshold needs to come off. This here simply pops off. Just a little finger pressure, work your way back and forth and it will come apart. Now we can move our carpet out of the way and that will give us extra working room. We need to plug in our harness and it is going to go into this slot right here on the panel. We need to this from underneath, back up and in. Now we need to mount our converter box here, somewhere that is out of the way on top of this plastic would be just fine. So we will clean that off and install it. We will use our double sided tape.

We are going to route our existing ground wire, from the box underneath the carpet to an existing ground lug that is installed in the body right here. Now we have the ground ready to go, we basically need to put the vehicle back together. So put the liner back in, the threshold, the cover, then finally the panel. Our wiring harness gets stored behind the jack tools when you are not using it. When you do need to use it you simply pull it out, re-install the jack door and pull over the threshold and to the outside. When you are ready to use the harness just shut the door on it, the seal is so thick it will not hurt anything. Now pull out as much length as you need. That pretty much will take care of your install. That covers the install of part # 118424 on our 2007 Acura MDX.
