Where Is the Trailer Wiring Connector Located on a 2027 Honda CR-V?
Updated 11/04/2026 | Published 11/01/2026
Question:
I have a new 2027 Honda CR-V, the trailer hitch wiring installation is different than previous years 2017-2026. I cannot locate T-connector plug with orange tape on the 2027, behind the driver’s side rear lower/upper panel like on the 2017-2026 models. Any videos or ideas where it is located?

Hey Gary, thanks for reaching out! I actually found a review from another customer who installed the Curt T-Connector # C56370 on his 2027 Honda CR-V and explained exactly where he found the connector. It's located along the factory wiring harness behind the driver's-side rear trim panel. He mentioned removing the lower sill trim and partially pulling back the driver's-side panel, which is held in place by approximately four green push-in clips. He also recommended using a small mirror to locate the white connector since it's tucked away and difficult to see.
He was able to complete the installation in about 30 minutes, so hopefully this helps you track down that connector without having to tear apart any more of your interior! Let me know if you're able to find it in that location.
I've attached a screenshot of that review for your reference.
What kind of trailer will you be hauling?

For the 2027 Honda CR-V, the T-connector is taped to a 1” black wire harness, on the inside behind the left tail light. You can plug in your trailer connector without removing the tape. A flashlight and mirror will also help locate it.
