Forget about cutting, splicing, or tapping into your vehicle’s wiring. The Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector is designed for a seamless plug-and-play installation. Simply connect it directly into your vehicle’s existing wiring, eliminating complicated and time-consuming setups. This harness enables your truck to power the trailer's signal lights, making your towing experience straightforward and hassle-free.
Avoid overloading your vehicle's electrical system with the built-in ModuLite power module. It efficiently combines your vehicle's brake and turn signals to match your trailer's two-wire system, ensuring seamless compatibility without affecting your vehicle's tail lights. By drawing power directly from your car’s battery, it ensures your trailer’s lights stay bright and dependable without straining the existing circuits.
Whether you're towing a trailer with a 4-pole, 5-pole, or 6-pole, the versatile design of the Tekonsha wiring harness has you covered. With support for various adapter types (sold separately), your towing setup becomes more flexible and versatile, ensuring you're prepared for every adventure with a strong and reliable connection.
Designed with the diverse needs of drivers in mind, this harness is a custom fit for specific vehicle models, ensuring that your Honda Pilot or Ridgeline integrates seamlessly with the system. The secure connection point, located behind the rear bumper on the driver's side, keeps your towing wiring out of sight and tangle-free. A recommended mounting bracket (sold separately) helps keep everything securely fastened and stable.
Built to last, the wiring harness is constructed with heavy-duty 16-gauge bonded wire, providing a durable solution for all your towing needs. This robust construction ensures the system withstands the demands of frequent trailering while protecting against wear and tear. The harness will continue to perform season after season, ensuring reliability no matter the journey distance.
With robust amperage limits—4.2 amps for stop/turn lights and 7.5 amps for tail lights—this harness manages trailer electrical loads efficiently. Plus, it includes the necessary fuses and relays for full functionality, making installation quick and easy while enhancing safety. This means that whether you’re on a cross-state trip or a short haul, you can trust this wiring harness to keep your trailer's lights running smoothly.
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness. You will have to remove some interior paneling to access this harness. The connection point for the 7-way tow harness is located behind the rear bumper, on the driver's side. The Modulite plugs into the factory wiring harness within the driver's-side storage compartment in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the Modulite, insert the included fuses and relays into your fuse panel as indicated in the instructions.
Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 7-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. This power module functions as a tail light converter to combine the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights.
This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
With a ModuLite, your trailer's lights will be powered without overloading your vehicle's electrical system. Because the module draws power directly from your car's battery and bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.

Looks good.
Very easy to install it took only 20 minutes.
Everything worked out great
Product as described. Clear directions.
Needs a mounting plate. Otherwise it works well.
Good priceDoes the same as oem part but at 1/3 of the cost.
Wiring instructions and kit works as advertised M easier than thought
Parts showed up on time and was very easy to install.
Worked great with my Pilot EXL 4WD everything you need for lights and a quarter of the price then the dealer.
Easy instructions, professional install, and great price!
Extremely fast shipping and easy to install. Completed install in less than 30 minute. Works perfectly!
Works exactly as the description and video explain. Helped me find a loose connection.
Outside of mounting to the bumper via self tap screws, install was quick, easy and does not require any modifications. Saved a ton of money over Honda Dealer. Highly Recommend!!
everything i needed and easy to install. thanks etrailer!
Very good product at a fair price. Thats why I continue to order for Etrailer.
Unbelievably EasyGreat kit, 1/3 of the factory product, 15 min install. The only thing that could be better is the 7 way receiver could be matched better to he opening Honda provides
I love it when products work perfectly! Install was just as depicted on the video on etrailer.com you guys are doing a great job.
Great quality, awesome instruction video. Also bought PK12711U, since several said it was needed/helpful, but I did not need it, even on a 2011 Pilot.
Fantastic and easyBought this kit for my 2011 Honda Pilot. Install was simple and it works great. MUCH cheaper than the dealer! Does need an additional connector mount though.
I purchase this harness from etrailer and I'm glad I did.The price is very resonable...I will definitely purchase again from etrailer.Good costumer service.In terms of monitoring the shipment.
Great product and shipped fast! Pay 1/3 the price than buying from Honda. Also, it doesn't come with a bracket but I just cut a little plastic, drilled a couple holes and it looks professionally done. Etrailer directions were also very simple.
Purchased the Honda Trailer Wiring Package 118253. Kit came right away. Had more parts than I thought were necessary, but I was wrong. The relays and fuses all plugged right in. The cable connector mated perfectly and VOILA' we were ready.
Thanks
Product exactly as described. I'm not a "car guy" and the video made all the difference - showed exactly how to do it and gave me the confidence to buy the product. Also, the video pointed out what tools and additional parts were necessary to complete the installation - enabled me to get everything before starting installation. Total time to install (and I took my time): <30 min.
2010 Honda Pilot EX-L This product will work with 2009-2010 Honda Pilot's because they are pre-wired to accept this product. This product will cost you $180 if you buy at the dealer so great savings. The install is pretty easy until you get to the last step. You are supposed to remove the protective cap from the wiring assembly under the rear bumber. Important: the cap has a very small plastic tab on the top of the cap which is hard to see and hard to access. You need to pull the tab upward to release the cap and the assembly from the hanger.
All this needs is a cheap bracket to make it perfect. You can just bolt it thru the plastic and a backing plate, but it has a lot of give when you plug it in, but probably ok. I spent half a day fashioning a metal plate and it is rock solid. Bottom line: the savings is great if you dont mind a loose fit. If you want it solid, weigh your time against the $120 you save over the Honda kit and make that decsion. Mine is now better than the Honda kit.
