* does not fit 06 ex, what’s weird is the second attachment my car has that in the spare tire compartment - but the main connection at the fuse panel is that of the 03-04 model - so I bought both thinking I can change the wires and plugs but I was wrong - I’ll have to just order a 8-12ft 4Pin connector that will reach from the front of the car of the 04 plug - see picture

My Honda Element had a trailer light harness installed by a previous owner that mounted under the car and tapped into the exist taillights with wire connectors. Not only was the unit fried, but all the connections had gone bad. This control unit from Curt is installed by just plugging it into an existing Honda wiring harness under the dashboard. This is a much better location than under the car because it’s not exposed to the weather. Then a short harness from Curt is plugged into another existing connector in the trunk. You have to thread that wiring out the back gate of the Honda Element to reach the trailer. I think this part is a little cheesy, but I only tow once or twice a year so it’s no big deal to me.

I installed this in my Honda Element - no tools required. Process is straight forward and takes about 10 minutes. Supplied instructions are easy to follow.My only complaint about this product is the adhesive backing that is supposed to attach the converter box to the car chassis was effectively useless. The adhesive had rotted away and I needed to buy alternative command strips to attach it. I suspect the device was manufactured years ago judging by the state of the glue and finally found its home on my old car.

Left blinker didn't work on my trailer but then realized the previous owner had the wrong harness installed. This works perfectly! 07 Honda Element SC

Very easy to install. Plug and play with no need to strip wires. The kit comes with splice connectors just in case though.I tucked the control box behind the kick plate attached to the vehicle body with the provided self stick pad. The self stick works well. Just make sure you clean the mating surfaces with alcohol first.I connected the ground wire ring to a bolt that was holding a bracket right above where the control box plugs in. Kit does come with a self tapping screw if for some reason you aren't able to find a bolt to hook it to.Very pleased with this product overall. It was the cheapest plug and play option I was able to find, but wish I could find it cheaper. It's worth the price though.

All the instructions were very clear, the fitment on everything was perfectl, and now I’m ready to rock.DoNotPaySomeoneToDoThisYou can do this thing. Promise.

The hardest part of the install is making sure you find a good place to ground it for the front harness install. I was able to run the trailer pigtail up behind the bumper & through the grommet into the spare wheel well for a "no see" install (took the pins out of the harness to pass the flat 4 wire cable up from the ground - super simple to do (just make sure you take a pic of the wire configuration to put them back in the harness correctly)). The back took about 5 minutes of work, maybe a little bit longer. The front part up under the steering wheel took me a little longer than 10 minutes, but most of that was just being in an awkward position. I did try to ground in one spot, and then changed my plan.

After some very detail-oriented searching, I discovered that this item was the exact (and correct) harness for my 2007 Honda Element EX. Purchased a U-Haul 2" Class III receiver hitch and the Curt 56029 wiring harness. I installed the entire thing myself in a little over an hour with basic hand tools, and the hitch harness was completely plug and play.Just locate the connector under the dash for the converter, plug it in. Then open the cover for the spare tire and locate the plug for the towing harness, and route the harness as you see fit. You can run it through existing holes, or just keep it in the spare tire well and route it out of the tailgate of the element as-needed (which is what I do, since I only tow about 10 times per year).***MAKE SURE TO VISIT THE CURT MFG. WEBSITE AND BE SURE YOU ARE PURCHASING THE CORRECT MODEL HARNESS FOR YOUR VEHICLE***I cannot stress the above enough. Older and newer elements have different wiring kits. So many people leave horrible reviews of products based upon their lack of research and absolute faith in seller listings. Be certain you purchased the right product and you'll be very happy with the results.
