All that tells you is you have maybe 12v to make the light work. Take a volt meter and check the CRV battery voltage with key off disconnected from motorhome. Then hook up the charge line with the motorhome running and test the CRV voltage reading again. It should read at least .3 to .7 volts higher. Then set the CRV in normal towing mode and check it's battery again, the voltage reading should still be close to your previous reading.

I agree. I had the same issue with my 2009 CRV until I installed a charge line.

x2 on making sure that there is 12 volt power from the MH to the CRV battery, some chassis may need a fuse installed to have the power at the rear of the MH.
We had the same problem before installing the charge line, no problems now, even using the Brake Buddy and NOT pulling the fuse in the CRV to disconnect the iMid electronics.
