Question:
Hi, I bought the universal trailer wiring kit, ETBC7, and the harness ground wire which has the ring terminal reinstalled is too short to reach any frame without removing the bumper of my 2014 Honda odyssey. In the video for a similar vehicle the ground wire is considerably longer. What do I do?

Hi Burhan,
You can cut off the ring terminal and splice on some additional 10awg wire # 10-1-1 using a heat shrink butt connector # DW05745-5 to get the correct length to reach the frame. You can then crimp on another ring terminal # DW05762-1 and use a self-tapping screw to attach it to the frame.
