I recommend the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118491. This harness will give you a 4-way flat trailer connector on the rear of your 2009 Honda Pilot and have all the correct fuses and relays to activate your tow package wiring.

I am sending a link to the installation instructions on the Tow Ready wiring harness.

It sounds like you simply have a spare fuse when installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118491. I recommend checking your owners manual to ensure you know what each fuse is for and confirm all spots are taken. If everything works, it is likely the fuse was simply already in place and you will have a spare if something goes bad. If that is the case, just keep it in your glove box so you have it with you in case you need it.
