2009 Honda Pilot Questions and Answers

• Anti-Rattle Device Suggestion while using a Towing Bike Rack and Pop Up Camper
  
• For use while towing with your pop up camper trailer and hitch mounted towing bike rack, the best option would be to use the Anti-Rattle Device for a 2 inch hitch # 63232. This device will eliminate any additional rattling by pulling the ball mount portion of the hitch to one side. It also provides a secure locking mechanism for your hitch. Please keep in mind that this locking device can only be used on hollow hitch devices, it is also advised to remove this locking mechanism when the ball

• Weight Distribution for a 2009 Honda Pilot and 3,000 Pound Travel Trailer
  
• First you will want to check the wording in the owners manual very carefully. If it says that you cannot use weight distribution then I cannot advise going against that recommendation. However if it states it could be used it is just not recommended then I would contact a Honda dealer to get further input. If you determine that weight distribution can be used then you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the

• Brake Controller Does Not Send Power to Trailer Brakes on a 2009 Honda Pilot
  
• In the instructions for the brake controller wiring harness # 3070-P for the 2009 Honda Pilot, if the vehicle did not come with a factory tow package there may be additional fuses and relays needed to make everything fully functional. What I recommend is to go ahead and use the vehicle owners manual to find the locations for any and all fuse/relay locations related to the tow package and brake controller wiring. There very well could be something missing. If it is a relay, it may be one that you

• Is it Okay to Run Vehicle While It Is Connected to Rightline CampRight SUV Tent
  
• Due to the close proximity of the exhaust pipe to the tent, I would strongly discourage you from running the vehicle while the tent is installed. Not only could the heat from the exhaust pipe melt the fabric of the tent, but exhaust fumes could very easily enter the tent, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.

• How to Test Operation of TowReady Part # 118253 Honda Pilot Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring
  
• If it is not convenient to attach a properly functioning trailer to your vehicle to test the new wiring package, you can test each function (tail light, brake light, turn signal, etc) by using your test probe on each pin at the vehicle 7-way connector.

• Trailer Tail Lights Not Working after Installing Tow Ready Wiring # 118491 on a 2009 Honda Pilot
  
• It sounds as if there may be a blown taillight fuse or you may have one of the fuses or a relay installed in the wrong position on your 2009 Honda Pilot, after installing the # 118491 T-One connector.

• Will the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter Work on a 2009 Honda Pilot Touring

• No power on the 4-Way Trailer Connector # 118491 on a 2009 Honda Pilot
  
• What I recommend is to remove everything that came with the Tow Ready wiring harness, # 118491, and then start the installation again as if it was the first time. It could be that you missed something and that by going through the steps again will reveal the issue. Once you have everything except the 4-Way part re-installed, use a circuit tester like # 3808 if needed and test the connector on the vehicle where the 4-Way installs. If you still do not get any power when the brakes are applied,

• The wiring kit you selected, Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # 118491, would just give you a 4-way connector at the rear of your 2009 Honda Pilot, only requiring one relay. The other wiring kit that we offer, Honda Pilot Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring # 118253, includes 2 relays as it is a replacement for the OEM tow package wiring. Part # 118253 would require 2 relays as it gives you a 7 way connector. The kit that you referenced from Honda is more than likely part # 118253.
