Brake Controller Wiring for 2008 Honda Ridgeline With 4-Way

Question:

Hi I have a Honda Ridgeline that is set up for 4pin towing and kind of halfway setup for 7 pin...seems like the previous owner changed their mind... Theres a Draw-Tite receiver and a kit for 4pin installed as well as the tekonsha p2... But no 7 pin plug.... I need the flexibility of 4 and 7 some trailers I move have brakes others dont. Thx, you guys are awesome at these prescriptions.

If your 2008 Honda Ridgeline is not wired for a brake controller you are going to need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 which includes the wiring, circuit breakers and the necessary 7- and 4-way connector. You will need to plug this into your Ridgeline's 4-way and then wire the 7-way.

For your trailers that only have a 4-way you can simply use the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter # PK12716 to connect your trailer to the 7-way on your '08 Ridgeline.
