Why do you need to disconnect the battery
as the first step in installing the factory tow wiring harness.
The directions I downloaded require that disconnect as the first step, which seems unneccesary to me...it's just a plug in installation so why bother with having to reprogram your electronics because you disconnect the battery. Is this just CYA thing on Hondas part or is there a valid reason to have to cut the power? |

Mostly CYA and protection from bad parts and dumb installers.

Prevent grounding, arching, sparks, etc. Idiots can cause trouble if the battery remains connected. Main threat is shorting to ground.
