Review on 🔌 Enhance Your Honda Crosstour's Trailer Connectivity with CURT 56215 Custom 4-Pin Wiring Harness by Adam Quintana

I was very pleasantly surprised with this product. I assumed it was a 'universal' option and that it didn't meet the unique installation needs of my car, a 2013 Honda Crosstour. I was wrong! I've heard horror stories about finding and installing a trailer hitch in Crosstours. I read Honda's instructions for installing the stock trailer wiring, and that involved removing the rear seats, right, rear inner panel, and connecting to two different connectors. It was scary. I was about to turn off the backlight when I finally decided to check out Kurt's tutorial. Voila! Not only were they tied to a specific car, but there were photos in the instructions for my car! The instructions were clear. The only downside, which isn't Kurt's fault, is that you'll most likely break at least one of the body's push pins or other plastic fasteners. Fortunately, they are readily available and cheap. The vehicle connector is a pigtail with a white plastic connector attached with vinyl tape to a wire harness that runs vertically at the far right rear of the vehicle. When the panel is pulled away, it opens. (see attached fig.). It is not necessary to completely remove the panel. The Curt plug is connected and the device falls into the right trough. You need to make sure it doesn't collide with the "leg" of the storage tray, which is attached with a 10 hex head screw. The trailer plug does not go through the hole in the body where the plug is inserted. , the rubber stopper is mounted. I cut the Curt trailer wiring harness, cut a slit in the rubber plug, routed the longer auto wire I had on hand and connected it to the wiring harness in the car with butt crimp connectors. (see attached fig.). In my opinion, Kurt could have thought about it and stuck that wire in two and lingered; but I think that would increase the price. It worked well. You may want to purchase a longer cable assembly from the vehicle side. Don't forget to install the fuse in the wiring harness inside the car before putting everything back together! I haven't tested it yet! I need to fix the trailer wiring again. (Every year the chipmunks eat the insulation and break the wires.) If it works, you probably won't hear from me. If not, you definitely will! I will use this first with a trailer with glow plug taillights. I think at some point I will switch to LEDs. My 2006 BMW X3 Trailer Light OEM Adapter was not able to properly control the trailer's LED lights. Let's hope this is the case. There is no mention in Kurt's documentation. Why not five stars? 1. Short, non-detachable trailer connection cable; 2. no mention of LEDs vs incandescent bulbs.
