How to Make Coiled 6-Way to 4-Way Adapter
Question:
I understand..., but am still confused..... 1) If you put only 4 wires into the 6 pole part you recommended (that has the 6 metal circles vs 4 -HM48440 )..., will it work with only 4 wires in it? 2) If so, what part do we need for the 4-flat end (for the solution you recommended).., as we already have the 4-flat socket (HM48030) on our CRV?

I personally don't like using adapters if I don't have to so what I would do is use the part # RM-1064-B for the coiled section, the part # HM48440 for the 6-way section and then for the 4-way use the # HM48030 wired up correctly and you'd have a coiled 6-way to 4-way adapter without using any adapters that would work very well.
