Installation

T-One Connection Location Points

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side interior trim panel in your rear cargo area.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.


Circuit-Protected Tail Light Converter

A tail light converter is built into this T-One connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. The tail light converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.


This converter safeguards itself and your vehicle against possible electrical shorts and overloads with integrated short circuit protection. Just install the connector as indicated and rest assured that the wiring system of your vehicle will remain feedback-free.

Perfect fit for ‘07 Honda CRV. Installing was straightforward and there is plenty of slack. Used it towing a trailer from Uhaul and it worked perfectly with their trailer wiring. I keep it stowed under the trunk where my spare tire is. Nice and clean. Thanks etrailer.



by:

Great presentation of available products, including advantage of each product. Great Youtube video, I always watch more than one and the installation was as easy as the video showed. This product had a surprize feature I didn't realize that of flashing lights on the trailer when backing up. Great experience.

Great product and fast shipping. No damage to the box and very easy instructions. I even watched the videos a few times. I had no issues except the box did not contain the hex nuts needed for the U bolt. Called customer service and it was taken care of right away. I was so excited to install, I went to local auto shop and purshcaed the correct nuts. I do wish it came with a wire brush to clean the holes the bolts went in but picked up a set. Works great and looks great on my CR-V. I would recommend and buy from again. Great job etrailer. Great product and great prices. I never have to borrow A truck again to haul.

I just installed the hitch and wiring harness this morning. It went in
without too much difficulty. The only change I would make to the installation instructions would be to improve removing and reinstalling the muffler rubber isolator hangers. The outside isolator is straight forward just remove isolator from muffler pin let isolator connected to the frame pin. The inside isolator pin I had to remove from the frame
pin first. I could not get it off the muffler pin until the muffler was dropped down then I could remove the isolator hanger from the muffler pin. Note, install the inside muffler isolator hanger back onto the frame pin before bolting the hitch in place. Just not enough room to get the inside isolator back on the frame pin after the hitch is installed. The spacing between the hitch cutout and the frame pin is too close to get the isolator back on the frame pin. See the two photos I have attached below.



by:

I bought and installed this when I installed my hitch. In my CR-V, the wiring was present in the cargo area, behind the left side panel, so all I had to do was plug it in. HOwever, since I use my hitch only for a bike rack, and I don't have a trailer, I've never actually tested this wiring harness.



by:

Works exactly as promised



by:

Just what I needed.

Had to chase
the treads with a tap. Wire brushing just wasn't adequate. Great job on your website and the videos on the electrical hookup hardware was very helpful. I actually purchased a different one than i had in the shopping cart after watching the video.

Thanks
Ken



by:

The most difficult part of installing this product was cleaning the threads to run the screws in. Once that was done the hitch was only minutes till it was installed. Great product!!!!

After purchasing this hitch and wiring kit for a 2010 Honda CRV I was pleased to receive the follow-up, informing me that the order had been processed and shipped.
This vendor's customer service is the best I've had the pleasure to experience for any online purchase ....bar-none!
Shipping was followed up and very informative also. It arrived on time and intact via UPS!
The online install information and video was right on the money. This had to be the easiest of any hitch and wire kit I have ever installed, and I have probably designed, built, or modified 20-30 hitches in my many years of custom car and motorcycle building, racing, R/V-ing, towing and farming!
I look forward to doing business again soon .
Thanks!! ......Frank Lyons

After owning this hitch for more than 1 year and having used it to tow small trailers and a couple of personal water craft for many mile I have to say this is a quality hitch and electrical set-up! Thanks again for the excellent customer service!! ...Frank Lyons

the wiring was very easy to install the informational video on how to install it was very accurate the wiring was good quality and I plugged it in and it worked had no issues with lights not working or anything this product was amazing I would totally recommend etrailer.com and their products just off of what I've used for my CRV I'll definitely be using them again for my trailer hitch and wiring needs

Its been a year its still working great no problems



by:

The wiring harness arrived in a timely manner, fit perfectly and was easy to install due to excellent instructions and the video I watched before I even ordered it. Some folks think it's silly that the wiring runs out the CR-V rear door opening during use, but I use a trailer so infrequently (a few times a year) that it is more important to me that the wiring is out of the elements when not in use. I prefer this type of hookup because I've seen what salty winter roads do to external trailer wiring. This setup will be better for my use.

The wiring harness has fully met my expectations after a year of use. Ive only used it a few times and it has worked well each time. I still like that the wiring stays inside the vehicle when Im not pulling a trailer. The 4-pin connector still looks like new because its protected inside the vehicle.



by:
2010 Honda CR-V

I bought this for a 2010 Honda CR-V. Installation was straightforward - pop a few trim clips, unscrew a few screws and plug into the connector, which was right where they said it should be. All functions worked properly with a voltmeter test. The wire to the connector is just barely long enough to reach the end of the hitch receiver. Six more inches would go a long way to making this ideal.

Everything is still working great one year later.

Thanks for the followup. Everything is still working fine.

My CRV wiring harness arrived on time to the promise date and performed as specified. The online video was helpful and gave me confidence that I would be able to install it myself before purchasing it. It installed pretty easily but some patience was needed for pulling open the plastic panels in the car. I like having the connector stored in the spare tire well.

The product was exactly what was described. I installed it on my 2011 Honda CR-V in less than 1 hr. No issues and no problems. I used it the next day to trailer home a log splitter I rented from Home Depot. Considering what "Professional" installation would have cost me this was a great deal. The installation video was a great help.

No issues with the harness .

Kind of a hassle to install since you have to run a wire from the rear to the front of the vehicle, but it wasn't difficult at all. Just follow the instructions/video and you'll have no issues. I used more zip ties than provided, as I don't like to have loose wires under the car.

  • Trailer Hitch, Bike Rack, and Wiring Recommendation for 2010 Honda CR-V
    I recommend the Class III Draw-Tite Hitch, # 75547, for your 2010 Honda CR-V. A Class III hitch provides more versatility with its 2 inch receiver opening. This hitch has a gross trailer weight capacity of 4,500 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 675 pounds. Just a reminder, you will want to follow the weight limitations of the component with the lowest rating. This would include the towing capacity of your Honda or any accessory that you mount in the hitch. If you are interested...

    I have attached the installation instructions of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7291 for a 2008 Honda CR-V to this answer page for you. In regards to installation, this is a bolt-on fit with a very clean finished install look. It has a hidden crosstube so you only see the receiver tube once installed. Please note, you do need to trim the rear bumper fascia for installation but this is because of the hidden design. If you don't want to trim then I recommend the Draw-Tite...

  • Tow Ready and Curt Wiring Harness Comparison for a 2011 Honda CR-V
    The Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118427, and the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness, # C55106, are basically the same harness from two different manufacturers. The main difference between these two harnesses is that Curt uses surface-mount technology (SMT) which is newer technology from the older through-hole technology. The Curt harness also has higher amp ratings of 3 amps per circuit for the stop and turn lights and 7.5 amps per circuit for the tail lights. The Tow Ready harness...

    The Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118427, will plug into the white trailer tow plug on your 2010 Honda CR-V, located behind the drivers side rear interior trim panel. You will also need to attach the white ground wire on the wiring harness to the vehicles existing ground stud or another suitable grounding point. You will not have to do anything with the fuses under the hood of your 2010 Honda CR-V. That will be all that is needed to install the Tow Ready wiring harness to your vehicle....

  • Ground Clearance of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2011 Honda CR-V
    When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13555 on a 2011 Honda CR-V, we found it has a height of 15-3/4 inches from the top of the receiver to the ground. This is part of the formula you will use to find the correct ball mount, with the other being the height from the trailer coupler to the ground - the difference will be the rise or drop you need (if the coupler is higher you need that amount of drop; if the receiver is higher you need that amount of rise).

  • Does Trailer Hitch From 2000 Honda CR-V Fit 2007 Honda CR-V
    There were multiple generation changes for the CR-V between 2000 and 2007, so a hitch from a 2000 Honda CR-V will not fit 2007 Honda CR-V. The correct fit for a trailer hitch receiver for a 2007 Honda CR-V is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13555. I also wanted to mention, in case you plan on doing some towing with your '07 CR-V, the correct 4-way wiring harness is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118427.

    I will be happy to get you the rest of the parts you will need to tow the rental trailer with your 2010 Honda CR-V.

Different hitch classes require different sized ball mounts and for the 2010 CR-V there are Class I and Class III hitches available. A Class I hitch will have a 1-1/4 inch receiver. A Class III will have a 2 inch receiver opening. If you have a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening I recommend...

  • Which Trailer Wiring Kit is Best for 2007 Honda CR-V
    The best trailer wiring kit we offer for your vehicle is the Tekonsha kit part # 118427 as it installs the easiest and comes with the most reliable converter box. A wire does not need to get ran to the vehicle battery either. I wish we knew what the part number of just the Honda connector you'd need is but that's not something we can get. For your 2007 Honda CR-V we do not have a 7-way wiring kit that is plug and play.

    A Class II hitch would use a 1-1/4 inch receiver, for a 2 inch receiver tube you'd want a Class III hitch. We offer two US Made Class III hitches that I'd recommend, the # 13555 from Curt or the # 306-X7291 from EcoHitch. Both hitches share the same 3500 lb gross trailer weight capacity. The Curt has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs while the EcoHitch has a capacity of 525 lbs. The primary difference between the two is that the EcoHitch model installs so the majority of the hitch is...

It isn't all that hidden though but then again none of the available hitches for your CR-V are hidden. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

I'd use the # D320 ball mount with sway control tab along with a Friction Sway Control like part # 83660. This would be just the ticket for a pop-up like yours.

    It does sound like it is a fuse but we need to figure out what caused the fuse to blow in the first place. Otherwise this problem will just keep happening. First, to verify that it is a fuse, you can use the owners manual and/or the legend on the power distribution box lid to find the fuse location. Leave the harness unplugged when you change the fuse.

    If your personal watercraft and trailer weighs less than 2,000 lbs and the tongue weight of the trailer weighs less than 200 lbs you could use a Class I hitch. For your 2008 Honda CR-V I would recommend you get a Class III hitch like the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch # 87440, as this hitch has higher towing capacities so it could tow your PWC trailer and if you decide to pull a heavier trailer down the road you would be able to that as well.

  • What Size Sockets Are Needed For Installing Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2008 Honda CR-V?
    To install the Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75547 on your 2008 Honda CR-V you will need a 17mm and 11/16" socket. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118427 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is commonly found on most small trailers you might tow. It can also be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you are using large hitch mounted accessories which impair the view of your tail lights.
