Hello Lydia, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are trying to install the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118760 on your 2017 Honda Pilot. The connector with the single blue wire is for vehicles with the accessory backup sensor. If your vehicle does not have this sensor, the connector will not be present and the blue wire will not be used. This is called out in step 3 of the instructions.
If you cannot find where to plug it in, this likely means your vehicle does not have the accessory backup sensor.
