The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55336 is a fit for the 2003 Honda Element. I've attached the installation video of a 2005 Pilot which is a similar install to assist.

I've also linked the installation of similar harnesses # 118336 and # 43105 from other manufacturers also confirmed to fit your vehicle to help. Unfortunately we don't have any videos of these harnesses on your specific vehicle and don't have the vehicle to shoot that specific video at this time. However, I have also attached the installation instructions from these other manufacturers to help.
