7-Way Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Ridgeline
Question:
How to make the above work? It appears to be in tack as it would be leaving factory. No elect. at all to plug at rear of ridgeline.

Expert Reply:
If you have a factory 7-way at the rear of your 2008 Honda Ridgeline but there is no voltage at any of the pins most likely you would need to check the fuse/relay panel to install/replace the towing related fuses/relays so that the 7-way would function.
The only way we offer to install a 7-way on your vehicle would be to first install a 4-way like # 118400.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
