Installing Tow Ready # 118558 Trailer Wiring Harness for 2013 Pilot

Updated 07/31/2014 | Published 07/28/2014

Question:

I own a 2013 Honda Pilot EX-L. I am thinking of installing one of your trailer wiring harness. I have seen video help on you tube and your site for all BUT the 2013. Does your harness for the 2013 install the same way for the 2010, on your video, and on the 2012 on a you tube vid I watched? I am a asking about part #118558. Thank you.

The # 118558 trailer wiring harness you mentioned is a fit for the 2012-2014 Honda Pilot. The 2010 Pilot uses a different wiring harness. The install procedure you saw on YouTube for the 2012 model is what you'd need to do to install the harness on your 2013.

The installation is pretty straightforward. Locate the Aux Fuse box in the cargo area, and remove the cover. Insert the provided relays into the black connector block on the converter wiring harness, then plug the harness into the connector in the fuse box. Replace the lid then insert the provided fuses into the fuse box under the hood. Then, locate the trailer plug under the vehicle and remove the protective cover and plug the trailer connector into it.
