You've done a great job so far troubleshooting the Curt trailer wiring harness part # 56008 that you have on your 2014 Acura RDX. The next thing you should do is test for voltage on the green wire that feeds into the converter box of the kit. If there's voltage there that would indicate that the box is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new kit. If there isn't voltage there it could be a connection issue with the blue wire connector of the kit. Sometimes just unplugging and plugging back in will fix this. If not the problem is further up the wiring and most likely a fuse. Another thing to check would be to see if the vehicle blinkers are working properly.

To properly test a converter box, you will first need to test the wires going into the converter box from the vehicle using a circuit tester such as #PTW2993. If there is no power on the green input wire, then the issue is with the vehicle. Your 2015…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
