Troubleshooting Brake Controller Install on a 2013 Honda Pilot with 3070-P Harness
Question:
My 2013 Honda pilot came with the pre wires harness under the dash however when I plug the controller into the socket no lights come on. I added the 30 amp fuse under the hood and the harness in the rear. The four wire converter works.

Expert Reply:
In the instructions for the brake controller wiring harness # 3070-P for the 2013 Honda Pilot, if the vehicle did not come with a factory tow package there may be additional fuses and relays needed to make everything fully functional. What I recommend is to go ahead and use the vehicle owners manual to find the locations for any and all fuse/relay locations related to the tow package and brake controller wiring. There very well could be something missing. If it is a relay, it may be one that you can only get at a Honda service center.
