Can someone pleeeease link me directions on how to do the wiring harness. I bought the hidden hitch w/ the draw-tite wiring harness, # 18336. Thanx for the help!

Thanx TennesseE. Was hoping there was an easier way of doing the wiring harness install.....It looks like from the pics that I will have to take apart the whole back end :x Is there any other way?! Now I know why Honda charges so much for this install. Any idea of the time frame to do this?

No clue, but I'll find out......that is unless someone else knows. I'll check it out Monday AM. Looks like a dooozy tho'. I'd leave this one alone.

Just completed the wiring harness install. Total time was an hour :D Skip the step on taking the bumper off...Go right to the removal of the back seat & the steps on taking off the entire plastic panel. When the panel is partially off you can see & reach the clip that the wiring harness plugs into. It is near the brake light. Plug it in & put the panel back in & you are done :!: Oh yeah, I also had my 4 year old son helping ( yeah right ) me on this mod. Good luck to all :wink:

:D Thanks about the tip of not taking the bumper off. I thought do you really have to do that? What a pain. Harness sitting on my garage floor until I get my hitch and a bunch of time. Thought of making some custom "clip" tools to take clips off. They seem to be everywhere.

Just be careful & take your time w/ the clips. They aren't as bad as they look :lol:
