2005 Nissan Questions and Answers

• Trailer Brakes Lock Up After Installing Replacement 7-Way Wiring Harness on a 2005 Nissan Xterra
  
• It sounds like the brake output circuit is getting 12 volts of power all the time. This could be due to a mis-wired connector or a mistmatch between the trailer connector and the new 7-Way. There could also be a bent or broken pin somewhere in the new harness or where it connects to the vehicle. And finally corrosion on the trailer connector pins can cause a short from the 12 volt pin to the brake output pin. Lets take a look at how your trailer side connector is pinned out. I have included a

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder 4X4 SE and 6K Trailer
  
• For a trailer weighing 6,000 pounds I recommend going with a stacked-plate cooler because they will be the most efficient and will provide the best cooling compared to the other cooler options. For a kit you can use # D13403. For the best cooling you can get a cooler that comes with its own fan like # D13950. This will provide the optimum cooling no matter where the unit is mounted. I have included a link to our FAQ article on transmission coolers for you.

• Clearance Between Roof and Crossbar with Thule AeroBlade Bars on a 2005 Nissan Maxima
  
• I went out to our studios and found a Rapid Traverse foot from a # TH480R kit and measured from the base to the bottom of where the bar would be. It was just under 3-1/4 inches. Because roofs are generally sloped and fit is different on every vehicle, use this measurement as a guide only to estimate where the bottom of the bar will approximately be. In addition to the foot pack you will also need the crossbars, # THARB53, and fit kit # THKIT1538.

• Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  
• A transmission cooler is not a vehicle-specific item. The ideal location to install cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the A/C condenser and radiator. We typically recommend that folks measure the available space in this area and choose the largest cooler that will fit. At 11x8-3/4 inches, the # D13503 is a bit larger than the # D13502 you referenced and would therefore be more efficient. The # D13503 includes enough hose for a typical installation, as well as an insta-dapt

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Nissan Titan Towing a Rockwood Roo 21SS
  
• Adding a transmission cooler to your 2005 Nissan Titan is a great idea to improve transmission performance and longevity, especially if you will be towing your Rockwood Roo 21SS trailer. Towing will put additional strain on an engine and transmission and one of the most common causes of transmission failure is overheating. When choosing a transmission cooler, it is best to choose the largest cooler that will fit in the space you have available because transmission fluid cannot be over cooled

• Not All Trailer Lights Work on Pontoon Boat Trailer Towed by a 2005 Nissan Armada
  
• The first thing I recommend is to check the vehicle side trailer connector using a circuit tester like # 3808 if you need one. Have someone sit in the vehicle and run through the lighting functions while you test the trailer connector with the circuit tester. If not all the functions work, you may need some relays. On a 2005 Nissan Armada there are tow package wiring relays that allow the wiring to function. It very well could be that some of the relays are missing or bad on your Armada. Chec

• What Size Mounting Hardware is Required to Install the Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, # RR06
  
• The Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, # RR06, has mounting holes that are 1/4 inches in diameter. We recommend using backing plate # BP06 when installing this tie down to provide support for the tire down.

• Parts Needed to Install a Hayes-Lemmerz Energize III Brake Controller in a 2005 Nissan Frontier
  
• Since your vehicle has the factory tow package there should be a harness underneath your dash, to left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. To connect to this harness I would recommend you get a Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3050-P. You will need to cut the black connector off of this harness, cut the wiring harness off the back of the Hayes-Lemmerz Energize III Electric Trailer Brake Controller # 81741B and then wire the controller to the side

• Troubleshooting Brake Light/Left Turn Signal on a Trailer Towed by a 2005 Nissan Titan
  
• The first thing I would test is the trailer connector on your 2005 Nissan Titan using a circuit tester like our part # 3808 to see if the problem lies in the trailer or in your vehicle. Check out the video I attached to see exactly how to do this. Basically, you will be testing for brake/stop light functionality of the circuit and this will tell you if the problem is on the truck or the trailer. If its on the truck I would check the fuses and relays of the tow package and replace as necessary

• Will the Magnaflow Cat-Back System for the 2005 Nissan Titan Exceed 95 Decibels
  
• I spoke with my contact at MagnaFlow and he informed me that all of their cat-back systems are designed to be under the 95 decibel rating that is mandated. He could not give me an exact figure, but you should be fine. He did say also that all of their systems are tested on stock vehicles where the only thing that is changed is the installation of the cat-back system. So if you install headers, intake or an offroad y-pipe you could exceed this.

• Will Thule Universal Mounting Kit Rooftop Ski Rack Hardware System 7533998 Fit a 2005 Nissan Xterra
  
• I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Universal Mounting Kit, # 7533998, to take some measurements. The mounting kit will accept crossbars up to 3-3/4 inches thick and up to 1 inch tall. I know that some of the Nissan Xterra models have large round bars and this kit may not fit. Thule does list several ski carriers as a direct fit to your 2005 Nissan Xterra if it has the factory crossbars. You can use the Pull Top carrier, # TH92726. This carrier holds 6 skis or 4 boards and slides out to

• Which Transmission Cooler for 2005 Nissan Frontier
  
• The best place to install a transmission cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. We recommend choosing the largest cooler that will fit in the space available, so you will need to measure to see how much room you have. You cannot over cool a transmission. The # D13503, which measures 11x8-3/4x7/8 inches is what I would recommend, assuming that there is enough room behind the grille. You might need to remove the grill and front bumper cover in order

• Will Curt Relay Kit # C57000 Fit a 2005 Nissan Titan
  
• Yes, the Curt relay kit # C57000 will fit the 2005 Nissan Titan. However, there are some cases where an additional relay is needed inside the in-cab fuse panel. This particular relay is available from Nissan dealers. Consult the truck owners manual for the location to determine if it is there. If you need to add a 7-Way, use # N40975. It includes a 7-Way and 4-Way trailer connector and the relays.

• Is Drilling Required to Install a Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch on a 2005 Nissan Xtrail
  
• According to the instructions for hitch # 60997 which I have linked for you, you will not have to drill anything to install the hitch on your 2005 Nissan Xtrail. There is some fascia trimming required which the instructions also cover. Installation difficulty based on the time required to install is estimated as a 5 out of 10. If you have experience with automotive work or are handy in general then you will be able to perform this installation at home. After looking over the instructions you

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Nissan Sentra
  
• For the most user-friendly and high-quality trunk mount bike rack that will also fit the 2005 Nissan Sentra, I recommend the Thule Raceway, # TH9001. I actually own the 3 bike version of this rack and it is the easiest and quickest to install trunk mount rack I have used. What makes it so easy to install are the retractable cables used to secure the rack to the vehicle. The Raceway uses 4 cables instead of 6 straps like other racks. It also features an integrated cable lock to secure the last

• Weight Distribution Compatibility with a 2005 Nissan Murano Class III Trailer Hitch
  
• If your 2005 Nissan Murano came with a factory installed Class III trailer hitch, then your owners manual should tell you if a weight distribution system can be used or not. I can tell you that a weight distribution system cannot be used with any of the Class III trailer hitches that we offer for your vehicle. Your travel trailer is fairly light, but if your vehicle sags a lot when towing your trailer, then you could look into the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4118. These spring

• How Difficult is it to Install Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs on a 2005 Nissan Titan
  
• Drilling is not required to install Firestone Ride-Ride spring, # F2355, on your 2005 Nissan Titan. Really the most difficult part is routing and cutting the lines. You have to make sure the lines will not be pinched or burned by hot components like the exhaust. To cut the lines properly. I recommend using a tubing cutter, # F9009, because you want the cleanest and straightest cut you can get. Otherwise, installation is straight forward.

• 2005 Nissan Xterra Trailer Wiring Troubleshoot
  
• According to Tow Ready, if your Xterra does not have the full tow package installed, the # 118263 will install, but as you have found, the trailer tail lights will not function. It sounds as if your Xterra does not have the factory tow package. For the Xterra without the tow package, we recommend either the Tow Ready # 118525 which includes the sub harness and relays (which unfortunately, are not sold separately) or the Hopkins # 43605 that taps inline with the factory harness connection to

• Trailer Wiring and Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2005 Nissan Frontier NISMO
  
• Really the only definitive way to know if the relays are there or not is to check. All models are going to have that connection point under the truck. What you can do to determine if the truck ever had the factory tow package (which would include relays) would be to have a Nissan dealer run the VIN and tell you if it had the factory tow package. If you determine it does not have the factory tow package or you check and there are no relays, you will need wiring harness # 118525. If it doe

• Only Tail Lights on One Side of Trailer Work when Connected to a 2005 Nissan Frontier 7-Way
  
• The pop you heard could have been a relay that tripped related to the trailer wiring. Use the owners manual to find the locations of the relays related to the trailer wiring. I have also included a picture that shows a standard 7-Way configuration on a vehicle and on a trailer. You can check the wiring on the trailer to see if something is wired incorrectly. There could also be a bad ground. Make sure the trailer and vehicle side connectors are free of dirt and corrosion. Make sure the main g

• Is There Fascia Trimming Required to Install a Curt Hitch on a 2005 Nissan 350Z
  
• Yes, there will be some rear fascia trimming required to install the correct hitch for your 2005 Nissan 350Z, Curt Hitch part # 11483. Check out the picture I attached to see what the trimming will look like. I also attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also. The Curt Hitch # 11493 that you referenced is designed for the 2006 Nissan 350Z and would not work for your 2005 model. For the record it requires fascia trimming as well.

• Availability of Hitch and 5 Bike Hitch Bike Rack For 2005 Nissan Quest

It is a Class III 2-inch hitch with a 3,500-lb towing capacity and a 350-lb tongue weight capacity. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the hitch. For a 5-bike hitch bike rack the Yakima DoubleDown 5 Bike Rack, part # Y02425, is an excellent bike rack for your Nissan Quest. It has a weight capacity of 125 lbs. Another 5-bike rack I would recommend is the Thule Vertex 5

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring on a 2005 Nissan Titan with Curt Relays Installed
  
• On some Nissan vehicles there is an additional relay needed in the in-cab fuse panel inside the vehicle. You will need to consult the vehicle owners manual for all of the fuse and relay locations related to trailer wiring. The extra relay can be obtained at a Nissan dealer. The first thing I would check though is for voltage on the trailer connector, this will tell you if the problem is on the trailer or vehicle side of the equation. Check out the video I attached that shows how this is done.

• Recommendation for Rebuilding a Trailer Braking System on a Boat Trailer
  
• First, lets start with master cylinder replacement. The recommendation you got for replacing the complete actuator, is most likely a good idea because there is a reason for the crud and such that you are finding in the master cylinder and replacing the master cylinder itself is a pretty involved undertaking. We have a video showing a master cylinder replacement that should be helpful, if you decide to go this route. Other reasons for replacing the whole actuator would be that you will have all n

• Stop and Turn Signals Work But Tail Lights Do Not Work on Trailer
  
• The first thing I would check is the trailer wiring running light fuse located in the power distribution box under the hood. Once the fuse box is located check the legend on the lid to determine the correct fuse to check. Blown running light fuses are a common problem with the Nissan Titan trucks. If the running light fuse is not blown or missing, you should also check fuses in the cab of the truck. Again use the legend on the cover, you will have a fuse box on the passengers side and the dri

• Can the Tekonsha P3 Trailer Brake Controller be Set Up without Having a Trailer Connected
  
• Yes you can setup the Tekonsha P3, # 90195, without a trailer connected. However, you will most likely need to do some fine tuning once a trailer is connected to get the proper amount of power back to the brakes for the particular trailer and load you are towing. The first thing to do before even setting the power output is to make sure the controller is mounted properly in the vehicle according to the installation instructions which I have linked for you. If the controller is not mounted wi

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Nissan Murano SL

The bike rack that is most like the rack you referenced but that will fit your Murano is the Thule Passage 2, # TH910XT. I have included some informational links for this bike rack for you. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level.
