Troubleshooting No Power on Trailer Wiring Harness after Install on 2011 Honda CR-V
Published 12/16/2015
Question:
E-Trailer, I installed product C56158 on a 2011 Honda CRV. However, I do not have power at the harness. Additionally, the tow vehicles brake lights and turn signals work correctly. Is there something else I need to do? Thanks for the help.

Sounds like the fuse of the red fuse holder isn't installed in the harness to activate it. Without this the entire harness will not have power.
There is also another fuse that needs to get installed under the dash. It is a 10 amp fuse that gets installed in position 10 in this fuse block. Check to make sure it is installed properly in the correct location.
I attached a picture that shows where it will get installed.
