Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Hey, I want to install 118781 on my vehicle, but noticed my Honda Odyssey does not have fuses pre installed for slots 10 / 11 and is missing the pinned terminal. Can I simply add the fuses and pinned thermal to use this harness? It looks my fuse box has the pins available to use but nothing is plugged into the socket. I would prefer using 118781, because I dont want to run a 12 volt line to my battery.

For Honda Odyssey models with the pins missing from the 10,11 and 12 fuse locations, you'll need to use the Tekonsha # 118753, as the fuse box won't supply the power needed to run the trailer lights if the # 118781 is used.
Honestly, running the wire to the battery isn't too terribly difficult. You'll simply follow the brake lines up to the front as shown in the linked video.
