2006 Ridgeline, factory tow package, Brake Controller install.
Found the 4-pin grey connector held by blue tape up underneath the dash. Bought the 2070P adapter cable from eTrailer and plugged it in, then plugged the cable into the controller.
Result? Dash lights and all warning lights slowly went out, engine started but could not shift out of park, wipers didn't work. Went through all the hints on the forum and found #21 fuse (IG Meter) blown in the box by your left knee. Disconnected the controller, replaced the fuse and all is fine again.
The wire colors on my truck plug connector don't seem to match what I am reading here or in my manual. I have Blue, Orange, White, Yellow. When I plug the adapter cable in the Blue->Black, Orange->Red, White->Blue, Yellow->White.
Now back at the Brake Controller the connector is labelled A,B,C,D, with the A->12V, B-> brake switch, C->Ground, Blue->Trailer Brakes.
Somebody else mentioned a fuse needs to be installed, where? With my meter I can't get any of the pins on the truck plug to give me a ground. On the truck plug the white seems to be the 12V and the brake switch the Yellow.
Have I got the right plug? Did Honda switch the wire colors around?
