Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during installation or use, here are some troubleshooting tips to help resolve them:

• Check Connections: Ensure all connectors are firmly and securely plugged into both the vehicle and the trailer. Loose connections can cause intermittent or complete failure of the lights.
• Test Lights: Use a trailer light tester or have someone check the lights while you activate the turn signals, brake lights, and running lights. This can help identify which circuits are not functioning correctly.
• Fuse Check: Verify that the vehicle’s and trailer’s fuses are intact. A blown fuse can prevent the lights from working. Refer to your Acura MDX’s owner’s manual for the location of the relevant fuses.
• Grounding: Make sure the ground connections are clean and secure. Poor grounding can disrupt the electrical circuit, causing light malfunctions.
