- Lights Flickering on a 2015 Honda Accord with Curt Wiring Harness Part # C56011
- The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56011 is indeed the correct wiring harness for your 2015 Honda Accord without LED tail lights. The issue you are describing sounds like a ground issue. Please make sure that the ground you are using is a clean bare metal surface without any paint present. This is more than likely the cause of your problem. Before attaching the ground screw, sand the surface down with some 80 grit sandpaper to remove any connection inhibiting material....

- Thank you for detailing your troubleshooting efforts with the new wiring on your trailer.
First, check the ground wires on both the harness and the trailer. Make sure both are tightly affixed to a clean bare metal spot on the vehicle and trailer frames. You can sand off paint and secure the wires to a new grounding point if needed. A weak ground can cause all sorts of weird behavior with lighting.
Check all wiring for signs of cracks or worn spots in the insulation that could cause a...

- Typically if a Pace Edwards Retractable Tonneau Cover like the # 311-M-BLFA18A44 is getting hung up it's with the railing and would require lubrication. The canister is a closed system so there isn't a good way to get into it and see if the gears are wearing and fix them without fully pulling it apart, which will likely void any warranty you have.
I recommend first lubing the rails with some dry silicone # RM-747 just to see if maybe the cover is getting stuck somewhere in the railing...

- I'd recommend using some dielectric grease, like part # 11755. Not only will the grease prohibit moisture from entering the connections and protect them from corrosion, it will make the connection easier to plug together or to separate.

- This sounds like a ground issue. 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.
Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces.
The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare...

- First manually test the 4-Way on the Accord with a circuit tester like # PTW2993. Test each pin on the 4-Way individually, one at a time, while you have a buddy activate the corresponding function in the Accord. Make sure you get power at the appropriate pin and that you aren't getting power on the others.
You will want to inspect the 4-Way itself for any debris or corrosion that might be built up around and inside the pins, cleaning out as needed. Also try and inspect any wiring that...

- Most likely there is a bad ground, a short, or an overload condition. First check the ground at the converter box and make sure it is attached to a clean bare metal surface. Then do the same for the main ground on the trailer side. And finally do the same for the lights on the trailer. Ground issues normally show up when there is more load on the harness. That could be why it only shows up when the vehicle lights are on.
To check for shorts you will need to inspect the wiring on the trailer...

- Sounds like your trailer lights have weak grounds. The behavior you described is textbook insufficient grounding. What you will want to do is check the grounds for the trailer taillights, make sure they are attached to a clean metal surface. Also, make sure the main ground from the trailer's wiring connector is attached to a clean metal surface on your trailer frame.
I attached an FAQ article on diagnosing 4-way installs for you to check out plus an FAQ article on trailer wiring.

- I am not sure why there would be noise coming from the # C11327 installation concerning the tow hook on your 2006 Accord.
The installation does require the exhaust hanger removal by taking off the rubber isolators. They are installed after the hitch has been installed and the bolts have been torqued to the specifications.
It is possible that the exhaust is making contact with your hitch causing the noise you are hearing. I have attached a link to a helpful article that explains how...

- I have a solution for you, but with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24787 installed on your 2005 Honda Accord you will not be able to use the tow hook location to jack your car. You cannot use the hitch as a jack point. You would either need to find an alternate jack point, use a lift, or you could use something like the FloTool RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11909MI to lift the rear of your Accord.

- Since it looks like you have the 2013 Honda Accord Sedan without LED taillights the first thing you should do is make sure you have the correct wiring harness. If that is correct, then you will need the # C56011 instead of the # C56173.
When installing the wiring harness on that side you will use the yellow T-connector for the top plug and the red one for the bottom plug. Assuming you have the correct wiring harness the two plugs from your picture should have no problem fitting.

- I think I know what is going on with the trailer wiring harness # 118302 on your 2006 Honda Accord sedan. Since the issue happens when you plug in the trailer that indicates either a short on the trailer side or the trailer has enough lights to overdraw the wiring harness (which is rated for 2.1 amps per circuit for brake and turn signal lights at 4.2 amps for tail lights).
The connection on the vehicle side is being interrupted by this short or over draw and the shift lock, which allows...

- I would check the ground connections on the vehicle and the trailer. A weak ground is just strong enough to provide some lighting functions, but not all of the functions.
On the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118302, there will be a white wire with a ring terminal on it. You will want to make sure that it is connected to a good,clean ground on the vehicle.
On the trailer you will want to make sure the white wire on the 4-way trailer connector is connected to a good, clean ground...
