That should be no problem at all.

 

Did the trailer come with the electric brake or did you install it after you bought the trailer?

 

How did you run the green wire to the right side?

And how did you run the trailer connector from the left pocket of the car to be accessible for use with a trailer?

 

1. I removed the plastic threshold and wire tied it underneath it

2. I ran the wires underneath the left corner of the fabric material inyo the spare tire well. I takr it out of the well when I want to use it and stick it out the back hatch. It wont harm the weather stripping if the 4 way flat connector wire is flat against the strip. If that makes sense.

 

I usually like to find an out of the way place to run wires - some place where the wires won't get damaged. I thought I'd run the green wire down the seam at the edge of the floor and the rear and then down into the tire well and back up. I also thought of running it through plastic tubing, since I have quite a bit of that. I had to solder some wire onto the green so I'd have enough to work with.

I think I'll do the same thing with the 4-way connector - keep it out of the way. The hitch arrived a few minutes ago. I'll take pictures of that and the wiring when I go out later. Gotta get warmed up!

 

As I said you are extremely brave! Im waiting to install my air struts once the weather is better. Yes my baf I forgot to mention that the green wire was not made long enough to reach the right turn signal wire.

Sounds like you are progressing along well!

 

Imagine if someone wanted to put this wiring on a full size car.

Of course, it might be possible to move the whole module closer to the right side of the car, but I prefer to have it tucked away.

 

Yessir. I like that it is hidden on the left side inside the wheel well. Granted you need to extend the green wire to the right side a little bit but that is not bad.

 

After connecting the wires from the light unit to the Fit, there is a black wire, which is for power, but there is also a white wire with a ring connector on the end. Is that for ground?

 

Yes. You are correct

 

Despite the cold over the last few days, I got my hitch wiring finished, and it works. I got a little $5.00 tester, and when I plugged it in, everything worked.

The next project will be the hitch. I hope it warms up a bit.

 

Nice! Did you add the reverse light relay? You planning on doing a brake controller as well? What hitch?

 

I didn't wire it for trailer brakes because my lightweight trailer doesn't have them. I do have a brake controller from my pickup from when I used to pull a travel trailer. I don't see me ever using that, though.

My trailer doesn't have reversing lights. They're replacements for the original 1969 lights. I got a nice set of LED trailer lights at Lowe's.

 

Very cool. Yeah my Sure-Trac is being built with a full 7 way including reverse lights by my request. I added trailer brakes because having than not having them was preferred. Less stress on the Fit's braking system. LED's came standard which I thought was cool too.

 

Curt Mfg. no drilling/cutting/modification what so ever, about a 30min install time.

 

Funny meeting you here, Binh! I guess great minds think alike. Re and i just picked up a 2015 Solar Yellow EX.

That's gonna be my first mod! What are you gonna do about wiring?

 

I added the electric brakes and axle. Most 5x8 trailers have a 2k axle and smaller tires like 12 inchs. The Sure Trac has the axle as an option and 15 inch radial or ply tires.

 

Hahaha....nice to see you here too Co.

I'm not towing a trailer or ever plan on one...had one on a first gen xB ten years ago and only used it once. This is only for a bike rack. What are you guys plan on doing with a trailer?

The Curt really is a great hitch very well thought out with no drilling/cutting/etc. unlike all other hitches that I know of for the FIT.

 

My receiver is about 12" high. Do you have a straight ball mount coming out of yours receiver? I think my trailer will be at a slight downward angle unless I get I use a ball mount with a 3/4" uplift.

 

No. I have a 3-1/8 rise to make my trailer level.

A draw tite 36061 riser comes to mind.
