In most cases if a Honda Pilot like your 2012 model has the tow package the 20 amp fuse that installs under the hood would not be needed to complete the installation. It would be nice if the fuse came with the kit but unfortunately it will have to purchased separately.

However, if you install the # 90885 with the # 3070-P and the controller isn't powering on the fuse is needed. It will be in the under hood fuse box.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
