Although it would seem that you have eliminated the trailer wiring as being the problem, taking a quick look at the trailer wiring would be a good first step. Start at the trailer connector and work your way back the trailer until you reach the lamps. Look for pinched wires or wires with cracked or worn insulation that would allow a short to ground. You might have a minor short that is not affecting the Tahoe but is causing problems with the Ford. Examine the lamps themselves for rusted... view full answer...
We get this question quite a bit and the issue is really that the threads end up with quite a bit of corrosion and dirt which prevents the bolt from threading in. I attached a couple help articles that cover cleaning out weld nuts for you to check out but typically using a thread tap will get the threads cleaned. The size bolts are M10X1.25X30 CL8.8. view full answer...
The first thing I would do is uninstall the # 118741 wiring harness to see if the rear hatch functions once it is removed. This will help you narrow down the problem. If this fixes the issue then I would try double checking the ground and make sure the connections are secure.
If this does not fix the problem then there is an issue with the vehicle. I would again say to check the ground connections to make sure they are secure. The instructions specifically have a note to make sure all... view full answer...
Have you tried the test procedure outlined in the install manual that is supposed to be done everytime it's used?
Before you begin towing, a simple test should be
performed to assure your Alert System is operating
properly. Have someone push the Auto Start button
on the Brake Buddy®. The Receiver should illuminate
upon activation. The Alert Receiver will illuminate: (1)
when the Auto Start button is pressed; (2) when the
Brake Buddy® activates as a result of forward inertia (i.e., the... view full answer...
It sounds like you may not have the correct harness and in some cases the 2020 Honda CR-V has a different harness for the AWD versus the FWD version with some manufacturers. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118741 which is compatible with either AWD or FWD versions.
I've linked the page to all of the trailer wiring options. If you have one of these harnesses and have that issue, then it sounds like there is a ground connection... view full answer...
I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems installing your cables! I did confirm that the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW2016C fit your 235/65-17 tires on your 2019 Honda CR-V. Also, I see that you did purchase the correct tensioners # TCMA1.
One of the most common installation speedbumps that people encounter involve any tangling/overlapping of the chains when connecting the cables into the connection housing. In order to help with this process, I recommend turning the tires... view full answer...
You could have a problem with the converter box in the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118336, but to be sure, I would test the connector with something other than a plug in style test light. A trailer or a circuit tester like the Quickee # 3808 would be better. Some times, the plug type testers can cause a malfunction. To eliminate it as the problem another testing method will need to be done.
With a trailer hooked up, you would simply run through the functions; left, right turn... view full answer...
Sounds like the fuse of the red fuse holder isn't installed in the harness to activate it. Without this the entire harness will not have power.
There is also another fuse that needs to get installed under the dash. It is a 10 amp fuse that gets installed in position 10 in this fuse block. Check to make sure it is installed properly in the correct location.
I attached a picture that shows where it will get installed. view full answer...
If your power connection with the Blue Ox Patriot III BRK2019 supplemental braking system is spotty it likely isn't the plug on the system. To use this system you do need to use 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 in order to ensure a constant 12 volt power source, which is what I'm guessing the issue is.
I'm not certain which plug you are referring to but you should not use any generic parts; I have added a link with each of our available replacement parts for Blue Ox supplemental braking systems... view full answer...
It sounds like you may have a short or a bad ground somewhere in your wiring. What you'll want to do first is inspect both the towed vehicle, and the tow vehicle's connectors. Make sure there is no corrosion or rust buildup in the connectors.
Next, check your ground connections. Ensure that your ground connections are on a good, clean, part of the vehicle's frame. If the connections are loose, or corroded/rusted, the issue is most likely here. If your grounds check out, you'll then want... view full answer...
Typically trailer connectors will not have any diodes to prevent feedback going to the tow vehicle from the trailer. Your trailer wiring will typically have a fuse or other circuitry to prevent damage to the vehicle in the event of electrical feedback. We do carry a single wire Diode # RM-690 if you wish to install these and prevent feedback on your tow vehicle wiring. view full answer...
When folding up the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR, make sure you are inserting the pin into the large hole, not the small hole. You may need to position the platform more in the upright position than it is in the photo in order to thread the pin back into the rack.
It is hard to tell in the photo you attached, but I don't any issue based on that photo. Try doing what I mentioned above and if you are still having issues then let me know and also attach some more photos... view full answer...
Without seeing how everything is wired, it is a bit hard to diagnose, but I am guessing you have 1 too many wires run to the Brite-Lite Converter.
The ground that is on part # RM-732 should be grounded to the motor home frame or structure. The GND wire that was on the motor home needs to be connected to the ground wire on the CR-V tow light wiring. The CR-V needs an electrical ground, since it is not running and creating a ground it needs to have a ground wire run to the motorhome. The... view full answer...
Are you referring to the trailer wiring kit you bought from us or the trailer lights I see that you ordered at same time?
I would assume it's the light kit part # TL29BK which since you tested and the lights have power ran to them that would indicate the issue is the ground circuit. These ground through the mounting hardware so make sure they are mounted to a clean metal surface. If you tested them before mounting them that would be why they aren't functioning since they wouldn't be grounded. view full answer...
If the right blinker and hazard works normally on the vehicle, then it's unlikely that it's a fuse that's blown. I would start by using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 and checking for power on the port of the 4 way plug on your Curt # C55106 where the green wire is connected; if you're getting power on that circuit with the blinker activated, the issue is going to be on the trailer. If you're not getting power on the harness when the blinker is activated then there will be an issue... view full answer...
Installation instructions for your Curt wiring harness # C56158 are linked for you along with an installation video showing a 2014 Honda CR-V like yours.
The first things to check are that the included fuse is still good and is installed properly in the fuse holder, and that the white ground wire's ring terminal is tightly affixed to a clean bare metal surface that is free of paint and primer.
Further troubleshooting will be easiest if you use a probe tester like # PTW2992 to test the... view full answer...
If installed properly the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56158 that you referenced shouldn't cause any problems. Your best course of action would be to go back to the local installer you used and explain to them what happened as it sounds like the screwed something up.

If you are flat-towing your 2009 Honda CR-V behind a motorhome and the car's battery is going dead, even after you pull the fuse for the radio, then either the battery is shot, it needs a full charge from a shore power charger like the CTEK # CTEK56353 before you head out, or something else is draining the battery.
Honda does indicate on page 266 of the owner's manual to turn the radio and other accessory items off when flat towing the car. If it is to be towed for "long periods" they... view full answer...
It sounds like the powered convertor on your Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56158 is damaged. The best way to test this is using a Test Light # PTW2993. You can check the signals going into the convertor from your 2015 Honda CR-V and see what circuits are getting output on the converter.
In my experience the Curt converters seem to have more of these issues than others. I recommend switching to the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118561 if your Curt harness is damaged.... view full answer...
If you have already used a Brush # 814113 with some penetrating oil to clean the weld nut on your 2007 Honda CR-V free of rust and debris your next step would be to use a M10 X 1.25 tap to attempt to clean out or fixed the damaged threads. This may be something best left to a professional depending on your comfort and skill level since if the tap goes in cross threaded it will destroy the good threads left in the weld nut. If that happens the weld nut would have to be replaced.
