When I received the wiring kit that plug was already attached to the wiring harness.
I tow a 16 ft aluminum boat with a 50 HP outboard. I don't remember the exact weight, but I doubt if the whole thing weighs 2000 lbs.Truckin' said:Thanks for the heads up. I bet you save someone a two hour wait.
How light is your trailer? We have a tent trailer and I need to know if the electric assist brakes are necessary. If so, where do I find the part? We installed the hitch ourselves and I'm baffled that they wouldn't have listed this part along with the tow equipment. Is it something we can install ourselves.
Same with me. I found my extra connection in the glove box.Tiger said:When my dealer installed my hitch and harness they asked me if I need the electric brakes. I told them that I didn't so they gave me the connection and I can install it if needed or they will install it at a later date.

I got the extra harness also. This dummy connector plug has to be installed where the extra harness would go if you were using it. Yours must be there or your lights wouldn't be working!Tiger said:When my dealer installed my hitch and harness they asked me if I need the electric brakes.

Webwader,Just to try and clear things up, the harness in your glovebox has nothing to do with the "dummy" plug at the rear. It is not a dummy plug. It is Honda's way of connecting the power to both the 7-pin and the 4-pin plugs. When the dealer installed my trailer hitch, it was the first one they had done and they left out the plug also. Result was only partial power to the 7-pin plug. Brought it back and they installed the plug connector and everthing worked correctly and the dealer service tech had a red face. The harness you are referring to probably is the electric brake harness that connects to a plug under the dash about the parking brake. That harness then connects to he wiring on your brake controller,
