Should Curt Trailer Wiring Harness 56161 for 2010 Honda Odyssey have Constant Power with Van Off
Question:
I installed this wiring harness on a 2010 Honda Odyssey and I notice that even when the car is off and the lights are off that there is 11 vdc on each pin of the flat four connector. Is this normal?

Expert Reply:
That does seem to be normal for powered converters, especially from Curt. It will not cause any problems unless you have something plugged into the # C56161 harness on your 2010 Honda Odyssey that draws power.
You can double check the connections and make sure there are no bent or broken pings, corrosion in the connections, or corrosion at the ground location. Any of these things could cause a short.
