Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2003 Nissan Frontier with 4-Way Connector

Question:

I need to install a trailer brake controller on my 2003 nissan frontier. There is a tow package and a flat 4 wire plug already installed. Im wondering if you can tell me if the truck is pre-wired for a brake controller or if I will have to run a new dedicated wire to the back.

You will need to hardwire in a brake controller on a 2003 Nissan Frontier because the truck is not pre-wired for a brake controller. Since you have a 4-Way already, you will just need the 4 and 7 way installation kit, # ETBC7. I have included some links that will explain the ETBC7 installation for you.

These links also explain how to wire in the brake controller, # 90185. You can use any brake controller and the installation will be the same as far as wiring. Some brake controllers mount differently. I have included a link to the instructions for the Prodigy brake controller for you.
