No Power on Trailer Wiring Harness Install in a 2013 Honda Pilot

Updated 07/08/2015 | Published 07/07/2015

Question:

I hooked up the wiring according to the directions and it is not working. I have a 2013 Honda Pilot and everything seemed to go into place nicely. The trailer I used works fine on my friends truck, but there is no sign of connection from my truck. I am going to try to get a probe to check if there is any electricity coming from the hookup. Any suggestions?

It is possible that there is a fuse that is normally present on the 2013 Honda Pilot that is blown or missing. It would be in the same location as where the relays install for kit # 118558.

The testing procedure starts with testing the input wires coming from the vehicle and going into the converter box. If there is no power going into the converter then it is likely a missing fuse or relay. If there is power going into the box then you would check the wires coming out that go to the 4-Way.

If there is power going in but not coming out then that indicates a problem with the converter and the harness will have to be replaced.
