7-Way Wiring Recommendation for a 2009 Honda Pilot EX
Question:
I found some info and a part # 118265 for a harness for a 2012 Pilot. Will this work on a 2009 Pilot EX or do I need a different part? If so, can you send me a link for it? I too have the towing package with no harness. Thanks

Expert Reply:
You will need Tow Ready wiring harness # 118253 for your 2009 Honda Pilot EX. The # 118265 harness you referenced is a fit for the 2011 and 2012 Pilot models and will not work on the 2009 models.
The # 18159 7-Way mounting box will give you an easy mounting option, as it just straps directly to the trailer hitch on the vehicle.
I am including a link to the installation instructions for the # 118253 wiring for you to reference, as well as some general information on wiring for towing if needed.
