Install of Tow Ready 118253 Trailer Wiring Harness on 2009 Honda Ridgeline
Question:
I have installed same kit onto a Pilot. However Ridgeline does not have back panel for access to where the module and relays plug into. Where is this located or is this not necessarily available on the Ridgeline. The kit indicates it will fit the 2009 Ridgeline, the harness connector is fine just need to know where to look for the converter plug location

To install the Tow Ready # 118253 on your 2009 Ridgeline, first find the relay block. The relay block is located under the dash above where the driver's left knee would be, and the fuses install in the subfuse box located on the firewall in the engine compartment. To access the relay block, you'll need to remove the driver's side end of the dash (the part that's up against the door when it's closed) and insert a screwdriver into the hole that's there to pry the relay block up off it's mounted to.
The wiring harness itself would plug into the connector behind the bumper on the driver side.
In a separate email, I'll send you a .pdf of Honda's instructions for installing the relays/fuses.
