Installing Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2004 Honda Odyssey # C55336

Question:

The videos all seem to show the installation of the Pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector with a rectangular tube hitch. The Curt C13068 is a round tube hitch. Should I be using DrawTite #18159 Connector Box for my Honda Odyssey application? Do you have any videos showing this sideways installation of the Pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector in Curt C13068?

The Curt custom-fit wiring harness for the 2004 Honda Odyssey is their part # C55336 and this plugs into wiring on the vehicle to provide a 4-pole flat trailer connector. If you will be installing a brake controller kit # ETBC7 the included 7-way will plug into the 4-pole from the harness and you will make the additional wiring connections required for the other 3 functions supported by a 7-way connector (12V power, brake signal and reverse light).

The # ETBC7 includes a mounting bracket for the 7-way that allows it to be mounted to the underside of the bumper. If you prefer to mount the 7-way to the round tube on Curt hitch # C13068 then in that case you could use the Draw-Tite 6 and 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Box for Round or Square Tube Hitches # 18159.

I have linked install instructions and videos for the Curt hitch and for the # ETBC7 kit.
