How to Locate the Reverse Sensor Connector on a 2018 Honda Pilot
Question:
My plug is not working and I have the blue plug. My vehicle has back up sensors and there is no plugin for the blue plug?

There are two connectors on the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # 118760 that you will need to plug into your 2018 Honda Pilot in order to activate the wiring harness. There is one with several wires that contains the functions for taillights and there is one that only contains one blue wire which is for the reverse sensors so they can still function.
The installation instructions for this wiring harness state to just remove the access panel inside of the storage compartment on the driver’s side. Once you do so you should see both connectors but if you cannot locate the second connector you will want to pry the entire side panel back as the second connector may not be visible by just removing the small access panel.

I could not find the second connector either. I did find this little note on the product support page that led me to skipping the second connector. The brake light works fine, I have yet to test the tail lights. The ground is finicky so make sure there is a good connection there. I found a lovely prethreaded hole at the bottom of the back pillar that worked for the ground and the module fastening. Where do I find the second connector in the vehicle for the connector with the single Blue wire? If the vehicle Tow-Plug is a single connector and not plugged into anything other, then simply plug the single t-one connector to this vehicle Tow-Plug. The 2nd t-one connector with blue wire is not used. If the vehicle Tow-Plug is connected to another mating connector on the vehicle then separate these 2 connectors and plug in 1 end of the t-one into mating vehicle connector and then other end of t-one (with blue wire) into the other mating vehicle connector.

On the 2019 Honda Pilot there should be a second connector for the backup sensor. The second connector is not located near the first connector. I pulled back the side panel and looked all around that area. I found no second connector. Any additional guidance to find the second connector?

I cant find a secondary plug for the single blue wire harness to connect to. My vehicle does have the backup camera and proximity option. Looking for some clarity on a location. Thanks.
