Video Transcript for Tow Ready Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation - 2018 Nissan Frontier

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today, on our 2018 Nissan Frontier we're gonna be showing you how to install the tow ready replacement four-way flat wiring harness. Before we get into that though, why don't we just check this out and make sure it's gonna work. So what this is gonna be is just a replacement harness, to replace your existing one whether it's a factory one or an aftermarket one. And the reason being, a lot of times these can just get damaged, you know corrosion and if it's out in elements all the time or maybe you left it plugged into your trailer on accident and, you know, when you go to disconnect and drive away and it rips it out or you know, there's a lot of different things that can happen, that can just cause this to get worn out. You know, maybe try to push it in wrong and this broke, whatever the case may be.

So if that happens, you don't have to deal with getting a whole entire new kit. You can get just a harness, plug it in and get going again. I want to mention though, you have to have the relays installed for your factory tow package. So, if you're trucked didn't come equipped with the, you know, with a factory tow package, you know, a four way or seven way, you'll have to get that kit for this to work. This is just one of two pieces for the whole thing so you know if that's something you need, you can always find those parts right here at etrailer.

Aside from that though, that's really about it, you know, not a whole lot to the setup. One thing I like to do is take wire loom and put it over the wire here. Just kind of cleans up our install look a little bit more. And you can also, you can secure wiring like this, or if you wanted to, you can get a four-way flat bracket and screw it to your bumper, your hitch, or wherever you want to mount it, and do something a little bit different there too. So that's always an option, but other than that at the end of the day, it's going to be a good solution for you and a quick fix for a lot of you out there that might have damaged your connector in there.

As far as getting it installed goes, I mean it's it's about as easy as it gets, you essentially plug it in, and then zip tie it up and run it over here. So, I really shouldn't run into too many issues. If you'd like to see how we did that though. Feel free to hang around. We'll go ahead and install it now.

So to begin our installation, we're going to be here, at the back of our Frontier, working on the driver's side frame rail, right here in this area where our factory connector's located. Here's our factory connector and with this being a replacement end our customer already removed their old one. So, all that's left for us to do really is plug this in. I'll route our four-way flat over to our hitch and show you what it looks like once I've done that. Got our wiring all routed up. So, I used a zip tie, secured it here, just ran it along, through here where it drops down and I have. If I can get it undone now. I just took our dust cover and put it around our safety chain opening and that's what's securing our wiring. So I went ahead and put some wire loom on over our wiring just kind of clean up the install look. Then I plugged in this tester here. That way we can check our wiring. I suggest using something like this, as opposed to plugging into your trailer because if you plug into your trailer, if it has any issues, it might mislead you into thinking it's something on the vehicle side. But with that said, we'll go ahead hop in our truck and run through the signals. I'll go ahead and turn on our left turn signal, our right turn signal, hit our brakes, and then turn on our taillights. That'll finish up our look at, and our installation of the tow ready replacement four-way flat wiring harness on our 2018 Nissan Frontier..

  • How to Determine if 2005 Nissan Frontier has Tow Package for Installing Trailer Wiring
    The pin needed to install the # 118263 will be on the frame of the truck, but what matters most is whether or not the rest of the tow package wiring will be present. You would need to remove the passenger side kick panel to the right of where a passengers right foot would be. If there is a harness plugged in there that looks like what's picture then all you would need is the # 118263. If not you would need the part # C56225 instead.

  • Wiring Needed To Install a 4-Way and 7-Way on a 2007 Nissan Xterra Without Factory Tow Package
    I hope I am fully understanding that you want to have both a 4-way and 7-way on the back of your 2007 Nissan Xterra. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56226 is the correct harness to give you a 7-way, but the Replacement Harness # 118263 is for the Tekonsha and will not fit with the Curt already connected. Instead you should get the Curt and replace the end with the Multi-Connector # HM40950 which will plug right in place of the Curt 7-way and you will have both the 7-way...

  • Solution for 2006 Nissan Frontier with No Trailer Running Light Circuit Active
    The trailer running light issue you are having with your 2006 Nissan Frontier is pretty common as Nissan for some reason left out the relay needed under the dash panel. Check out the picture I attached to see where you'll find where the relay needs to install. For this relay, you can use one of the blue relays from the Curt Relay Kit # C57000.

  • Are Relays Required to Activate the Trailer Wiring Harness on a Nissan Frontier
    On the Nissan Frontier and other Nissan vehicles, if the vehicle did not come with a factory tow package it will not have a functioning wiring harness even if one, like # 118263, is added. There will be relays that will need to be inserted to make the trailer wiring harness fully functional. If your Nissan did not come with a factory tow package, you would need to use wiring harness # C56225. This harness comes with the relays needed and the wiring required to make everything functional....

  • Trailer Running Lights Not Working with 2015 Nissan Xterra
    The one missing running light relay is a common issue on certain Nissan vehicles. It is usually a missing relay in the in-cab fuse panel, the blue relay from the Curt Relay Kit # C57000, but you can check the owner's manual for all fuse and relay locations to verify.

  • Replacement Trailer Left Turn Signal/Brake Light Relay for a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
    I don't think there are any relays under the seat of a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder but there could be some behind the kick panel on the passenger's side, front. The relay that is missing or blown is likely one of the blue relays from the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. The easiest way to determine if a relay is bad is to use a known good relay in place of a potential bad one. The relays for the tow package turn signals/brake lights are under the hood. If the right turn signal one is working, try putting...

  • Troubleshooting No Left Turn/Brake Signal On Trailer
    The 9:00 position of your 7-way should have the left turn/brake signal and the 3:00 position should have the right turn/brake signal when a 7-way is wired up in the traditional layout. I attached a picture that shows how a 7-way typically get wired. It sounds like your 7-way is functioning correctly if the 9:00 pin has voltage with the left blinker on. Is it possible the problem is on your trailer wiring? A bad ground could easily cause the problem you described. Check the grounds of the...

  • Wiring Harness and Other Parts Needed To Tow Small Utility Trailer With 2011 Nissan Frontier
    To pull a small utility trailer with your 2011 Nissan Frontier you will need a hitch, ball mount, hitch ball, and a wiring harness for lighting on the trailer. If your Nissan did not come with a factory tow package, you would need to use Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118263. This harness comes with the relays needed and the wiring required to make everything functional on a trailer. I have included a link to the installation details for you. The hitch I would recommend would...

  • Troubleshooting Prodigy P3 Brake Controller that Stopped Working
    The most common cause for a brake controller to stop functioning is corrosion on the pin of the 7-way that carries the voltage to the trailer brakes. All you have to do to fix that is to take some sandpaper to the pins of the 7-way and you'd take care of that. What does the P3 controller show on the display when connected to a trailer though? That will be a good indicator of where the problem is most likely located. I attached an article on troubleshooting brake controller installs for...

  • Replacement OEM 4-way Harness for a 2011 Nissan Frontier Recommendation
    If the window sticker of the 2011 Nissan Frontier that you are looking at says that it has the factory trailer wiring you should already have the Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, part # 118263, that you referenced. This product is for people who have either damaged their OEM harness or had a Nissan that did not have the wiring from the factory. The truck you are looking at should already have a factory 4-way if its says it is pre-wired and you should not need this product.

  • Hooking Up Brakes On a Trailer w/4-Way To My 2007 Nissan Titan w/ 7-way
    What you would need to do is replace the 4-way connector on your trailer with a 7-way connector. For this you will want to use Hopkins 7-Way, part # H20046. To install, you would begin by cutting off the 4-way connector and installing the 7-way. You will need to connect the appropriate wires from the 4-way to the 7-way (see linked Wiring FAQ). Then, you would need to run wiring from each brake assembly to the Blue Wire on the 7-way (see trailer brake video). Make sure that each brake assembly...

  • Troubleshooting Factory Trailer Wiring on 2012 Nissan Frontier
    Thanks for all the details of your troubleshooting efforts with the trailer wiring on your 2012 Frontier. Since your old fuses were not blown and your new fuses that have the indicator lights did not light up this tends to suggest that your tow package relays are not working and this is why power is not making it to the fuses or to the trailer connector. On the passenger side of the engine compartment close to the windshield are both a fuse box and a smaller fuse/relay box. Both are shown...

  • No Power To 7-Way Vehicle Connector on 2008 Nissan Pathfinder After Tow Wiring Harness Installation
    On your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder the Towing Relay 2 fuse is the brown relay, like the one included in kit # C57000.This relay will activate the 12-volt power circuit on the 7-Way connector. This relay is located in a fuse box under the hood, next to the vehicles battery. Next to the brown relay will be Towing Relay 1 (blue) which should be installed to activate the running lights and signal for the 4-pin towing harness. To charge a trailer battery from the 7-Way you should be using the...

  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness Fits a 2008 Nissan Xterra Without Tow Package
    Because your vehicle did not come with a tow package, you will need the Plug-N-Tow Vehicle Wiring Harness # 43605. This will plug right in for you and give you that 4-pole hookup. This harness is a powered converter which draws power directly from the vehicle battery instead of through the wiring system. Connection points are located behind the vehicle tail lights. An additional wire will need to be run to the front of the vehicle to connect to the positive post of the battery.

  • Parts to Install a 4-Pole and 7-Way RV Trailer Connector at the Rear of a 2008 Nissan Frontier
    Since you already have a working 4-Way wiring harness installed on your 2008 Nissan Frontier you can install a 7-Way and 4-way electric trailer brake controller installation kit, # ETBC7, on your truck by utilizing the wiring you installed. Once completed you will have a working 7-Way RV connector and a working 4-Way connector at the rear of your Frontier. We have detailed instructions, see link, for installation of this kit, and we have a video that shows the installation of this kit...

  • Installing T-1 Harness, Part # 118263 on 2005 Xterra Without Tow Package
    In order to use the T-1 Harness, part # 118263 on an Xterra without the factory tow package, in addition to the relay, you will also need the jumper harness. The harness is a dealer supplied part. Once you purchase the T-1, the relay, and the jumper harness you will have spent quite a few dollars, when you could purchase the Hopkins Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 43605. You would spend a bit more time installing it, but it would probably be less expensive.

  • Troubleshooting No Power at Factory Trailer Wiring Plug on 2014 Nissan Frontier
    If you are not getting any power at the factory port where the Curt Wiring Harness # C55441 plugs into, this actually may indicate that your 2014 Nissan Frontier is not equipped with the factory tow package. The existing Curt harness will still plug into the factory port like you see on your vehicle, but without the tow package you will still need to add a relay harness for the port to become active. This relay harness is included with the Curt T-Connector # C56225. It is not available...

  • How to Determine if a 2009 Nissan Xterra has a Factory Tow Package to Add Trailer Wiring
    The easiest and definitive way to determine if your 2009 Nissan Xterra has a factory tow package is to give the VIN to a dealership and have them determine what options it came with from the factory. Another way would be to use a circuit tester, like # PTW2993 if needed, and test the factory connection point under the vehicle. It should show signals when the brakes are applied, lights are turned on, and turn signals engaged. However, even if it shows signals, it does not necessarily...

  • Turn Signals on 2009 Nissan Frontier Do Not Work When Trailer is Connected
    Typically a 4-pole flat trailer connector on a vehicle carries only lighting functions (stop light, running light and turn signals). Electric trailer brake signals from an in-cab brake controller require an additional circuit (and an additional wire) to send those signals to the trailer brakes. Usually a 5-, 6- or 7-way connector is employed to include this function. Please refer to the linked article on trailer wiring; this shows the various vehicle-side and trailer-side connectors and...

  • 4-Way Trailer Connector for a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder
    Wiring harness # 118263 is only part of what you would need for your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. There is also a jumper harness and relays that will be needed to make the harness fully functional and is not included with # 118263 since it is for models that have the factory tow pacakge. To get everything needed I recommend # 118670. It comes with the jumper harness, relays, and the 4-Way harness.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Turn Signals Not Working on Wiring Harness for a Nissan
    This does sound like a bad or missing relay. You can test the 7-Way connector without the trailer attached to see if you get any signal at all on the turn signal/brake light circuit. If you do get a signal but the lights are not working on the trailer, it could be that the extra load from the trailer lights is not allowing them to function properly. This would indicate that most likely the grounds of the trailer light assemblies are not sufficient. You will want to make sure the assemblies...

    The Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness # 118263 is only confirmed to fit 2005-2012 Nissan Frontiers. It shouldn't work on your 2001 Nissan Frontier. For your vehicle I would have recommended the Curt Wiring Harness Part # C56FR.
