Wiring Harness Location on a 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring

Question:

I have a new Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring and I purchased the C56370 plug in harness. I have taken apart the rear cargo area, am I supposed to see a whit connector with nothing there to plug this into? I see a similar white connector with the taillight wires but its plugged into the harness. I dont want to disconnect it because the taillights wont work. So how do I attach the harness?

Thanks for the picture! That is definitely not the connector you are looking for. I have attached a picture below that will show you exactly where to look to find the connector. You are indeed looking for a white connector, but with a red tip. I have also linked an installation video below. If you skip ahead to the 1:55 mark you'll see our installer pull it out from behind the driver's side D pillar.

The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56370 fits the all wheel drive models of the 2023 Honda CR-V and will plug directly into a factory port. It won't T off like one that would connect where you are currently looking, which there isn't one available.

If yours isn't all wheel drive you won't have this connector and will need to use the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter item # C59236 which has to be spliced into the wires you sent me a picture of.
