How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2017 Honda Pilot
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I just bought a 2017 Honda Pilot and had the dealer install a transmission cooler. I pick it up tonight! I plan to mount a trailer hitch myself. I already have that picked out. I am considering the Tekonsha 118286 wiring harness to go along with that. 1 Does that harness connect to a brake controller? 2 Does my Pilot have wiring for the brake controller? A. If not, what cable should I order? B. If so, I assume it is under the dash - any advice on finding it?

Expert Reply:
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118286 is what I recommend to add a 7-way to your 2017 Honda Pilot. The harness connects to the rear plug in the vehicle's hatch. This plug then runs through the length of the vehicle up behind the driver's side dash panel to a brake controller port.
For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 which is one of our best selling options due to its ease of use, integrated safeguards, and easy to read LCD display. In order to install this controller you will want to use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter part # 3070-P.
