You will need to make sure all of the included fuses and relays are installed and that none are blown. This includes the in-line fuses that are part of the harness. A blown fuse or relay could cause this problem.
If all the fuses are installed and working properly then use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 if needed to test the running light pin on the 7-Way. If it has power then you know the problem is on the trailer, most likely a dirty or corroded trailer connector or bad ground at the... view full answer...
It sounds like the issue is with a ground connection, a terminal connection, or one of the relays. I recommend starting with the relays and the best way to determine if one is bad is to replace it with one you know works. Once you have determined the relays are good, then I recommend checking the plug connections on your harness. Each connection should be clean of corrosion and debris and have dielectric grease like # 11755 to keep moisture and debris out.
Then if you are still lacking... view full answer...
If you are not getting any power to your Tekonsha P2 # 90885 brake controller it sounds like there is a short somewhere that is impeding functionality of the controller.
If you have the factory 7-way on your 2014 Honda Pilot and are using Wiring Adapter # 3070-P there should be 12 volts on the black power wire of this adapter, which you can test with the 7-Function Digital Multimeter # PT89ZR. If there is not you would know there is a short somewhere or the brake controller or adapter... view full answer...
Since you tried this with another vehicle and it checks out we can assume the trailer is fine. The # C56170 installation isn't extensive so there are only a few things to check. You're getting power to other functions so more than likely the fuse isn't an issue either.
I would start by making sure all of the connections are secure, as well as the relays. Unplug them and plug them back in to make sure everything is seated properly. If that doesn't work it is time to do some testing. Using... view full answer...
There are a couple of possible reasons why the center mounting flange on Curt trailer hitch # 13328 is not lining up with the holes in your 2007 Honda Pilot.
First, sometimes in the shipping process a hitch can flex. As long as there are no indications of stress the flange can be flexed into the correct position.
The other possibility is the order in which the hardware was tightened down. If you were to change the order of how the hardware was torqued down, say starting with the center... view full answer...
The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 that you have is a proportional controller which means it needs to sense deceleration for it to start applying trailer brakes. If you apply the vehicle brakes while at a stop the controller can tell you aren't moving so it doesn't apply the brakes. Basically when you apply the brakes in the vehicle that tells the Echo that it needs to start looking for deceleration and to apply a proportional amount of braking on the trailer brakes. view full answer...
Some tow package wiring harnesses on vehicles can overcome ground issues better than others. Although the trailer works with other vehicles, since some vehicles are more sensitive about ground issues, a ground problem on your trailer could still be causing the problem you are experiencing.
Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light.

When Tekonsha sent you the new P3 did you install it like you were installing a new unit or did you simply replace the actual unit on your dashboard?
Corrosion could have actually fried out your original P3 circuit board. If you have corrosion on your positive battery terminal which is the power source for your brake controller, inadvertent signal could have been sent to the brake controller intermittently therefore creating the flashing that you were seeing on your LCD. The corrosion... view full answer...
I agree that it sounds like you have a ground issue. Ground problems often present themselves through strange wiring issues. Having a ground issue may not cause all of the trailer lights not to work. It is not uncommon for only one side of the trailer lights to not work, or the lights to dim when the blinker is used, when there is a ground issue.
When stripped back, a black ground wire would more likely indicated that it has somehow been fried, not corroded. Corrosion usually presents... view full answer...
Lets begin with the purpose of the converter box. The wiring system that trailers use is very simple. The turn signal and the brake lights are carried on the same circuit. The left turn and brake light signals are carried in the yellow wire down the drivers side of the trailer, and the right turn and brake light signals are carried on the green wire running down the passenger side. This is the tried-and-true system that has been used for years.
The converter comes in when you have a vehicle... view full answer...
If all of the circuits on T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118265 for your 2015 Honda Pilot have suddenly stopped working then that leads me to believe that the black module box has shorted out and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, the module box cannot be replaced separately so your only option would be to replace the entire wiring harness.
I don't have any pin out diagrams for the above harness but I am confident the module box has gone bad and it must be replaced as it cannot... view full answer...
To check a relay, first do a visual inspection of the terminals for signs of extreme heat or corrosion. Next do a visual inspection of where the relay plugs in for extreme heat or corrosion. Finally, the easiest and fastest way most people use to check a relay is simply to swap the relay with another functioning relay in the same box. You can also get a replacement relay from a local auto parts store to swap them out. If the function that wasn't working is working with the new relay,... view full answer...
There are a few more steps that you will need to complete in order to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118265 on a 2012 - 2015 Honda Pilot. In addition to plugging the 7-way trailer connector into the grey pigtail under the vehicle near the spare tire, you will also need to install the converter box in the rear hatch behind the "Aux Fuse" door and insert the fuse into the engine bay fuse box. There should be no left over parts after the harness is installed properly. If you... view full answer...
I do have ideas about how to go about troubleshooting the issues you are having with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56291 on your 2018 Honda Pilot. The first thing to do is take a look at your owner's manual to locate any trailer fuses or relays and ensure they are all there and in working order.
If they are, in order to determine the specific problem you will need to purchase a circuit tester if you do not have one - the very handy Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979 would... view full answer...
The fuse for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 on your 2014 Honda Pilot is located in the engine compartment. It is in the sub fuse box which is near the battery. Fuse number 14 needs to be a 20 amp fuse that sends power to the brake controller.
If you are still having issues getting power to the controller be sure to check the wiring connectors to ensure that a wire hasn't pushed out of its connector or had a prong broken off inside the connector. view full answer...
Sounds like you blew a trailer wiring fuse under the hood of your 2012 Honda Pilot. Since the part # C56170 connects to factory wiring that is circuit protected you would need to find the fuse that protects the circuit on your vehicle wiring and replace as necessary.
There are also some towing related relays that you would need to check that are in the fuse panel as well. view full answer...
The Solid-Tow Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w Chrome Balls - 2" Hitch - 4" Drop, 5" Rise # DTSTBM6400 you purchased is designed for a 2" trailer hitch receiver which is more than likely what you have on your 2017 Honda Pilot so I do not think you purchased the wrong model.
To make sure that the # DTSTBM6400 is secure to the trailer hitch receiver you will want to tighten the top Allen screw until there ball mount is secure. There should not be any that pops up or makes any noise when installing.... view full answer...
My technical contact at TowReady advised that they have no reported issues with this particular harness in the application in a 2013 Honda Pilot.
Based on the symptom you report (a driver-side tail light that stays on no matter what trailer is connected and no matter what light function is activated) he suggested that it could be that one or both of the relays included in this kit is damaged. You can try swapping the two black relays to see if the problem changes sides on the vehicle.... view full answer...
Thank you for your September 2013 purchase of trailer wiring harness kit # 118558 for your 2013 Honda Pilot.
First, check that all of the relays are inserted properly in the harness and the fuse you installed in the engine compartment is still okay. You can also unplug the relays and connectors to inspect the condition of the contacts, looking for any dirt, potential corrosion from moisture or any other visible condition that could explain the non-functioning stop/turn lights.

Some brake controllers can illuminate the brake lights of the vehicle when the manual override lever is applied. This is a safety feature that allows vehicles behind you to know if the vehicle and trailer are slowing down but aren't using the vehicles brakes.
What the controller will do is put voltage on the stoplight circuit wire (red) when the lever is pressed which will then tell the vehicle to apply the brake lights.
If the controller is working fine otherwise you would have nothing... view full answer...
