Fuse Installation to Activate Brake Controller Power in 2019 Honda Ridgeline

Updated 09/05/2020 | Published 02/08/2020

Question:

After plugging in the honda plug and play adapter 3070-P to my Tekonsha P3, the brake controller does not turn on. Is there a compatibility issue with the 2019 ridgeline? Is there another cable or solution that doesnt require splicing/tapping power?

Usually, for your vehicle all that is needed is the # 3070-P and the brake controller.The circuit that supplies 12V power to the brake controller is activated by a fuse that's located in the fusebox on the firewall next to the brake fluid reservoir. The fuse location is # 3, and you'd need to install a 20A fuse in that location to activate the controller. I've also seen references stating that the fuse is located in location # 14, so you can look at the fuse box lid, which will list the fuse locations. The location you're looking for will be labeled 'TRL E-BRAKE'.
