When you install the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # C56161 on your 2008 Honda Odyssey, you will show voltage at the 4-way connector pins.

You will not have an amperage draw until you hook the connector to your trailer harness and a load is placed on the system. If you wish to leave your trailer plugged in when parked, one way to stop current draw would be to remove the in-line fuse. You will need to remember to put the fuse back in when ready to tow and that can be a hassle at times.
