• Does the Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller Shut Off and Will It Drain the Battery
• Tekonsha brake controllers like the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, # 90195 will go into sleep mode after several minutes of inactivity and the power draw when it is in the sleep mode is so negligible that it will not discharge the battery. If you want the brake controller totally off then you would have to unplug the connector from the back of the controller, but as mentioned, the power draw in sleep mode is insignificant and I've never heard of that being the reason someone's battery has...

• Can Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock PAL8600 be Wired into Trunk Lock Wiring on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline
• Pop & Lock has determined that the wiring at the front of a Honda Ridgeline is the best place to get the proper circuits required by the lock. It is entirely possible though that you could use the wires you mentioned if they are easily accessible and carry the proper functions needed by the lock (the power lock/unlock circuit). If you are able to verify the function of those wires at the desired location then you can use them if you want. I have linked a video showing and example installation...

• Installing a 4-Pole to 7-Way Adapter on 2014 Honda Ridgeline
• Once the # 118400 is installed, you can use the # ETBC7 install kit. The kit includes all the necessary wire, circuit breakers and a # 37185 adapter to convert the 4 pole to a 7-way. The power from the brake controller, as you said, is delivered on the blue wire. The black wire would run to the positive battery terminal through a 40 amp circuit breaker like part # 9510. This circuit would serve as a 12-volt accessory power feed to the trailer. There's no need to hook up the 12-volt circuit...

• Where Is The Factory Brake Controller Port Located On A 2006 Honda Ridgeline
• If your 2006 Honda Ridgeline has the OEM tow package with the factory 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of your vehicle, then the Tekonsha Wiring Harness, # 3070-P, will need to plug into the factory brake controller connector under the dash. It is a 4-pin connector that is located underneath and left of the steering column. It will be taped to another harness near the brake pedal. The 4-pin connector on the factory harness will match to the 4-pin connector on the Tekonsha wiring harness...

• Can You Paint the Pop & Lock # PL6200 to Match the Paint Code on My 2017 Honda Ridgeline?
• I have an answer for you about the paint code on the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock with Handle - Manual Lock - Black # PL6200. Even though Pop & Lock does not offer paint code customization or different colored handles, it is possible to paint the handle yourself or through a local auto painter. Since the lock is made of ABS plastic, paint will stick to the surface. With that being said, I recommend reaching out to a local body shop to see if they use a special process or have specific...

• Can an Impact Driver be Used on the Dutton Lainson Hand Winch part # DL11004
• The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch part # DL11004 can be used with a power source like a standard cordless drill to speed up the process of extending and retracting the winch line. It is not recommended however to use an impact style driver on it however because of the impact mechanism putting alot of torque out repeatably and could cause issues with the drive of the winch. To use a regular cordless drill you will use a 5/8" socket attached to a driver attachment.

• ModuLite Connector Location for T-One Wiring Harness for 2019 Honda Ridgeline
• The pictures that come with the installation instructions for the T-One # 118778 are kind of the end result of finding that wiring connector.

• Factory Trailer Brake Controller Plug Location for a 2011 Honda Ridgeline
• From what I was able to find, if your 2011 Honda Ridgeline has a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector, then the harness will be located underneath and to the left of the steering column taped to another wiring harness near the brake pedal. If your Ridgeline did not come with a factory installed 7-Way then you will need to hardwire the brake controller by first installing a 4-Way, if needed, # 118400, and then a 4 and 7-Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. I have included some links to FAQ...

• How Much Does the Lomax Folding Hard Tonneau for 2020 Honda Ridgeline Restrict Trunk Opening
• We don't have any photos of the Lomax # AB1060019 on a Honda Ridgeline, but it's only going to allow you to open it about as high as the bedrails go, since this cover mounts right inside the bedrails. Since it does not allow full functioning of the rear trunk lid, I recommend going with a tonneau cover that mounts to the top of the bed rails like the Extang Solid Fold 2.0 # EX83590, which is a confirmed fit for your truck. The Extang Solid Fold 2.0 is also a hard, folding tonneau cover,...

• Can BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover be Secured when Only Partially Rolled Up
• The BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39602 referenced in your question will need to be fully open, up to the truck's cab, or fully closed down at the tailgate in order for it to be secured by the built-in straps and buckles. It can certainly be opened in incremental spaces when loading or unloading cargo, but during driving conditions, it should be secured either fully opened or closed. I did speak with my contact at BAK just to confirm this. This is a great tonneau cover that...

• Can the Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock # PAL8600 be Connected to Existing Wiring on 2018 Honda Ridgeline
• I believe the existing wiring that you are referring to is for the backup camera on your 2018 Honda Ridgeline (see attached photo). If you connected the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock # PAL8600 to this wiring it could not only overload circuits, it would also prevent you from being able to lock your tailgate via the door locks inside your Ridgeline. For the Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock to operate properly it is best to install it according to the instructions. The Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock...

• Fuse Installation to Activate Brake Controller Power in 2019 Honda Ridgeline
• Usually, for your vehicle all that is needed is the # 3070-P and the brake controller.The circuit that supplies 12V power to the brake controller is activated by a fuse that's located in the fusebox on the firewall next to the brake fluid reservoir. The fuse location is # 3, and you'd need to install a 20A fuse in that location to activate the controller. I've also seen references stating that the fuse is located in location # 14, so you can look at the fuse box lid, which will list the...
