Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lights Not Working with 2018 Nissan Frontier
Question:
I need a blue relay. the installation video calls for tow harness to be hooked up at passenger side kick panel, then 3 relays to plug to nearness, other instructions mentioned relay plugs under steering column? My issue is: trailer running lights dont work, brake/signals do.

Expert Reply:
On certain Nissan vehicles like yours a 4th blue relay is sometimes needed to activate the trailer running lights circuit. This appears to be the case with your 2018 Nissan Frontier.
The blue relay that you need is included in the Curt Relay Kit # C57000 and the harness you need to access to plug the relay in is indeed located in the cab behind the dash to the left of the steering column. I have attached an image that might help.
