Is An Extra Converter Needed When Wiring The 2009 Honda Fit With The Tow Ready Harness # 118420
Question:
I have a 2009 Honda Fit Sport. I am trying to wire it so it will light trailer lights. I know I need wiring harness number 118420. Do I also need to purchase converters to complete the project? If so what do I need? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The correct wiring harness for your 2009 Honda Fit Sport is the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118420. It will include the circuit protected taillight converter that is needed on your Honda Fit. You will not need any other converters or electrical parts to have a 4-flat connector on your vehicle.
The Honda Fit has turn signals separate from the brake lights and requires a converter to convert the cars 5 wire system down to the trailers 4 wire system. The converter is also circuit protected and protects your vehicles sensitive electrical system from damage if there is a short or mis-wire on a trailer you tow.
I am including a link to the installation instructions and a video link of the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118420, being installed on a 2009 Honda Civic. The vehicle is different, but the wiring principle is the same.
