What Is The Difference Between The Tekonsha 118753 And 118781 For A 2022 Honda Odyssey?

Question:

So I am getting everything I need to set up my 2022 Honda Odyssey up to tow a small trailer up to the mountains in California. I have the hitch and ball mount with the ball all picked out, but then say that there are a few options for the wiring. They all kind of look the same so now I'm not sure which to go with. I have used Tekonsha stuff in the past so prefer to stick with those two. Help!!!

I do agree that the Tekonsha Wiring harnesses are the way to go. They tend to be the longest lived of the harnesses we offer, but the # 118753 and # 118781 for your 2022 Honda Odyssey definitely make it a little confusing. However, I am here to demystify said confusion and it will actually pretty easy to tell which is needed.

This will require you to open the driver side rear access panel in the cargo area. You will need to check the fuse locations 10, 11, and 12 (pictured). If you have fuses in these locations (red arrows) you will want to go with the # 118781. This will plug right in and that's about it. Very easy install. If you do not (yellow arrows), you will need the # 118753. This will still plug right in, but you will also need to run a wire up to the battery for needed power. This doesn't happen very often, but it has a few times and is always good to double check.
