Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side interior trim panel in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, insert the included 10-amp fuse into the integrated fuse holder. Then install the 30-amp cartridge fuse and two 7.5-amp mini fuses in the rear fuse panel.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
Powered Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a circuit-protected, battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
Curt builds each tail light converter using surface-mount technology (SMT). This method of construction involves soldering electronic components directly to the surface of a printed circuit board. SMT eliminates the need for leads, which are used in older through-hole technology. The result is a circuit board that is smaller yet provides more routing area and that offers superior performance, reliability and durability.
Circuit boards constructed using SMT have been shown to perform better under rough conditions with excessive vibration than those made using the through-hole method. And where would vibration be more likely to occur than in towing applications? Curt converters also produce less heat, leading to increased durability and longer life. In addition, lower levels of resistance ensure better performance, especially for parts that operate at higher frequencies.
Each Curt circuit board is made using high-quality components that are pieced together in the most technologically savvy fashion, leading to greater predictability and reliability in functioning.

I ordered many etrailer products for my previous 2008 Honda Odyssey. It performed perfectly. So, I just placed an order again for 2019 Honda Odyssey.
by: Jeff 07/06/2023
2018 Honda Odyssey
Exactly what I needed for my 2018 Honda Odyssey. Came on time with straightforward instructions and has seen dozens of long trips without any issues.
by: Al10/15/2022
Installed myself in about 15 minutes, connects to rear fuse panel in driver side rear cargo compartment of 2019 Honda Odyssey. There is enough room to fold it up and stow it behind the fuse panel door, out of sight until it's needed. I don't use a trailer very often, but as cheap as this kit is, having the ability to connect a trailer and its lights was a no-brainer.
by: Douglas 02/22/2023
2018 Honda Odyssey
Overall quite good. Ground connection was too short to reach suggested bolt and wire to trailer connector should have been 6" longer. Works as promised.

Great price - easy to install- only wish the cable was longer to run outside the car. Fortunately there are extension cables available.
by: Andrew04/15/2023
2021 Honda Odyssey
Super easy install. Works wonderfully. 10/10 recommend.
For a nicer long-term install, follow the U-Haul instruction video to route through the side vent so you don't have a cable running around inside your back storage area

I rec’d email from Carol C at Etrailer at 7:01pm devising my order had been delivered and a link to this survey. I responded at 7:02 I had not rec’d my order.I did not expect a response. At 7:18 I rec’d another email advising they had called UPS and the order was left by the shed at the road. I found the box there. This is Customer Service at it’s finest? My second order from etrailer, and won’t be my last!

2018 Honda Odyssey
Install was easy. It was basically plug and play except for attaching the ground. I keep the trailer wire hidden behind the rear fuse box access panel and bring it out when I need to hook up the trailer. It is no problem closing the hatch on the wire as long as you keep it away from the latch. Everything works fine with the trailer lights.
by: VanDeezy07/30/2019
This wiring harness was easy to install and works perfectly. I've seen alternatives which require feeding wires all the way from the engine bay, and that is totally nuts. Don't waste your time and energy. This installs from the rear corner, right where you're already working on the hitch install. Choose this item -- it's perfect.
by: Brent04/12/2019
I'm quite happy with the Curt wiring kit. It took me about 25 minutes to install and didn't have too many pieces to hook up. You also don't need to splice wires or run a wire up to the battery. The van already came setup to plug the cord in and use it. I have the vacuum cleaner in my van and that made it a little tighter to work, but it still worked out great. I tested it out on the trailer and everything worked perfectly.
by: Lan P05/15/2020
Easy to install system as shown in recommended installation video. I used it to haul a 6x12 trailer I rented from a U-Haul. Haven’t tucked the wiring and harness away to look professional yet.
by: Alan01/12/2019
2018 Honda Odyssey
This wiring harness was easy to install, if you follow the video.
Works as expected.
Thought the wire to the trailer was a little short, but when installed it was at the correct length.
by: John01/02/2020
Very easy to install- all necessary hardware present includes fuses. Turn key fit and function. Highly recommend for ease of install. Reliability- we will see about.
John

The wire harness failed even with all new lights on the trailer. No blown fuses - the encapsulated IC failed. Went to Honda for OEM harness- highly recommend that one. Very nice quality.
by: Steven01/30/2021
Plug and play, excellent instructions, no problems with the install at all.
If you want a more permanent install, there is a punch out that you can use to run the wiring through. The connector was a tight squeeze, but the result is permanent and no need to play games with the wiring.

2018 Honda Odyssey
Wow is all I can say! Several friends recommended etrailer.com and I will happily do the same. I ordered the products, I recived a confirmation email (from a human) that it was packed up and shipped to me. It arrived error free and packaged well. I logged in and instruction videos that were just what I ordered (no searching for what I needed) were spot on and easy to follow. I am beyond impressed from start to finish
and the best part is its on and we are towing! A big thank you to the etrailer.com people that put this together for me!
by: Kari 03/31/2021

Instructions were not good, but U-Haul had a great youtube video. Also, you should include that you have to buy to hold wires to trailer hitch. But worked good.
by: Rex06/01/2020
It would be nice if the portion of the harness that connects to the trailer lights was 6 inches longer. Also, not sure how well the tape to hold the electronics box will hold up.

I wasn't sure which T- connector would be the best for my needs. Cathy at etrailer was helpful and the supplied unit was basically plug and play. Really appreciated not having to run any external wires.

Great item. Love etrailer. 2 boats 3 car/trucks have installed all DIY using Etrailer. My first and last stop

- Where to Attach Ground Wire for Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness Installation on 2019 Honda OdysseyI'm not sure which of the videos you watched, but there are a few different options for the ground connection on your 2019 Honda Odyssey. If you watch the installation video for the 2022 starting at the 4 minute mark, you can see where Conner uses an M6x1.0 bolt to secure the ground to a factory weld nut next to the fuse box. If you watch the video for the 2019 starting at 3:30 they pull back the entire side panel and use the factory ground point to attach the wire. If you can find a different...

In terms of function and install these are identical, however I do recommend the Tekonsha # 118781 because it features a higher amp capacity and a superior converter box, which has proven to have a longer lifespan than those from other manufacturers. I have...

First, the Tekonsha harness does feature a higher amp rating (max 5 amps for stop/turn circuits and 7.5 amps for tail lights compared to 3 amps and 6 amps respectively on the Curt), which just offers a stronger system that's able to take a bit more power. In addition to the higher amp...
view full answer... - Difference between Item # C56382 and Item # 118753 for a 2018 Honda OdysseyThe difference between the Curt # C56382 and the Tekonsha T-One # 118753 for your 2018 Honda Odyssey is that the Curt is for if the fuse locations actually have pins in them. The Tekonsha option is for if the fuse locations are lacking the pins to activate the tow wiring. The Tekonsha basically bypasses everything and pulls power straight from the battery via the black wire (which runs to your battery) while the Curt utilizes factory wiring on your vehicle.
view full answer... - Choosing Between Tekonsha or Curt Powered Taillight Converter/Wiring Harness for 2020 Honda OdysseyFunctionally speaking, there isn't a huge difference. The Curt # C56382 has a slightly lower capacity at 3 amps for circuit for stop/turn signals and 6 amps for taillights. The Tekonsha # 118781 has a capacity of 5 amps per stop/turn circuit and 7.5 amps for circuit for taillights. Honestly, you'll probably never need the added capacity unless you're towing something that's lit up like a Christmas tree but having a little unneeded wiggle room as far as capacity goes never hurts. From what...

Curt offers a similar option with the # C56382, but in our experience, the Tekonsha harnesses, and their converter boxes in particular, seem to do a better job and have proven to outlast the competition. If you want to be extra sure, you can look behind the driver...

- Troubleshooting Trailer Right Turn Signal And Right Brake Light Not Working On 2019 Honda Odyssey It would seem odd that you would receive 2 defective Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harnesses # C56382 for your 2019 Honda Odyssey. The first place I would like to start is at the 4-way connector. A Test Light # PTW2993 is the best way to check the wiring. First check all the connections ends for power when the corresponding function is active, and for any that do not have power move up the connector and check the wire for power going into the connector. The female terminal on the end...

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118781 is what I recommend because when compared to the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118753 comes with additional fuses that correspond with your fuse box slot #10, slot #11, and slot #12.

The main difference is that the # 118753 is designed for vehicles that do not have the towing fuses already in place.

The reason why this is a better bet than the competing harnesses like the Curt # C56382 is because the T-One includes a better quality converter box.

This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your van with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.

I know I wished the cable was longer before, instead its perfect. Use the extension cable and you never have to worry about your primary cable being destroyed for any reason. Like when your spouse crushes it with luggage in the trunk.
