We have great wiring harness options for your 2012 Honda Pilot.

If your trailer has a 4-Way flat trailer connector, you will want the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118558. This wiring harness for your Pilot will not require any cutting or splicing of wires to install. The converter and converter harness will instill inside the cargo area behind a panel and the 4-Way harness will install into a gray plug under the vehicle bumper on the driver's side.

If your trailer has a 7-Way round, blade-style connector, you will want the Tow Ready Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118265. This will provide you with a 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle. This converter will also install in a panel inside the cargo area, while the trailer connector harness installs under the vehicle bumper.

The installation instructions of both of these wiring harnesses are attached for you.

Do you have a 7 round and a 4 flat connector for a 2012 Honda pilot

The best option for adding both a 7-Way and 4-Way to your 2012 Honda Pilot is with the Tekonsha 7-Way Harness # 118265 and an adapter like the Pollak # PK12716 to use when needed. The Tekonsha harness provides you with a simple plug-and-play 7-Way that will be and the adapter plugs into the 7-Way itself to give you a 4-Way at the other end.

The Tekonsha Voyager is a really solid brake controller. I was able to find that the cmf51393 part number you mentioned refers to a Curt 4-Way harness but I wasn't able to find any info on the wsp5 part. I this a 7-Way wiring kit, by chance?

Answer 1

Hey Mike, the 7-way kit part #118265 does fit your 2014 Honda Pilot to provide it with a functional 7-way but it does not come with the brake controller install port you'd need for a brake controller. So you can hardwire in a brake controller or…
