- Routing 12 Volt Hot Lead to Battery on 2015 Honda Fit
- There are a number of options for routing the hot lead to the battery when installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118767 in your 2015 Honda Fit, but since this harness mounts outside the vehicle the best option is to run it along the exterior of the frame and up through the engine compartment. You can use Wire Loom # 7509-1 and Cable Ties # DW05726-10 for this.
I have added a link to a help article on routing a hot lead to the engine which I strongly recommend checking out.

- The New Body style does not have a port under the dash for a brake controller. You have a bundle of 5 loose wires under the steering wheel, just off to the left. You will need to splice your brake controller into these wires. I would recommend the Tekonsha P-3 brake controller, part # 90195, for your vehicle. It is a proportional controller that can be easily moved from one vehicle to the next. It is designed for use with electric and/or electric over hydraulic trailer braking systems....

- It sounds like your tow bar's vertical storage bracket (on the shank) may have a bit of extra powder coated finish that is making the first-time use of the Alpha # BX7380 a little bit tough. You should be fine to give the stud a gentle tap with a rubber or wood mallet to coax it into place in the slot. This should only be necessary once for the initial installation.
You can also try simply rotating the arm assembly back and forth (both left-to-right and vertically) to help loosen up the...

- The Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater part # KH11419 is a confirmed fit for the 1.3 I4 engine in your 2007 Honda Fit. I recommend using a heater plug cover such as part # KH28405 to protect the plug on the power cord from corrosion while not in use.
Nearly all vehicle's on the road today run a 50/50 mix between water and antifreeze. The coolant in your vehicle is already mixed with the correct ratio of water and antifreeze. The above block heater is a frost plug style meaning it...

- The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24920 which is a fit for your 2019 Honda Fit should not require you to drill or enlarge any holes in the frame per the owner's manual.

That said, it is not completely out of the ordinary to have to slightly enlarge a hole in the frame so this may...
