2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport with Curt

Upon following the current (at the time this video was made; January 31, 2025) #CurtManufacturing installation instructions for this #56370 #trailerwiringharness on this vehicle (#2025 #HondaCRV), some technicians may be frustrated to find that the powered trailer circuit is cold and not working when trying to test the finished installation for operation. Curt provides a 15 amp ATM low profile fuse in the wiring kit, but makes no mention of it in the installation instructions. Seasoned installers may expect to find a slot in the power distribution box under the hood to cause the trailer wiring plug to become hot. However, the fuse position for that feature is in the fuse compartment located under the dash in front of the driver seat. The Honda owner’s manual listed “YOP Trailer” fuse position #17, which is difficult to figure out because there are no markings on the outer casing of the fuse box and also NO diagram in the owner’s manual. Through the process of elimination, we discovered that fuse #17 is positioned in the 3rd column from the left/outer side of the vehicle and the 2nd fuse from the driver’s seat in that 3rd column. Once we inserted the 15 amp fuse provided by Curt, the circuit at the back of the car became hot and everything functioned properly. We are hoping that Curt will update their installation sheet and pictures to reflect these findings.
