Video Transcript for A Closer Look at the Replacement Wiring Harness for Tow Ready Nissan Vehicle Wiring Harness

Today we're going to review part number 118267. This is the Tow Ready Nissan replacement OEM tow package wiring harness. This is a custom fit part number, it is designed to fit the 2005-2012 Nissan Frontier with the factory 7-way, 2005-2013 Nissan Extera with the factory 7-way, 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder with the factory tow package and also the 2009-2012 Suzuki Equator with the factory 7-way. This part number will include everything shown here on the table, the actual plug-in harness, the 7-way plug for the rear of the vehicle and some zip ties to take up any of the excess wire. This is an exact replacement for a damaged OEM wiring harness. It will install in seconds just by plugging in. It will also upgrade vehicles that have a 4-way OEM plug to the 7-way connector.

It will also connect directly to the standard OEM connector. Basically when you install this these plugs right here will 'T' into the factory OEM connector, it's usually located on these vehicles underneath the vehicle by the driver's side rear tire. Once you plug these in then you'll just run this larger plug to the very back and this would attach to the 7-way, snaps right in, and then your 7-way would be attached to the bumper of the rear of the vehicle, then it's ready for use. One other note just to mention on some of the Nissan products we have found out that some of them come with the OEM towing relay and some do not so you do want to check your fuse box to make sure you do have the relay available. If not you would have to order that separately, we do carry that on our website. That should do it for the review of part number 118267, the Tow Ready Nissan replacement OEM tow package wiring harness. .

Would you be able to send a photo of what youre seeing with this?



by:

Damaged the plug - this was a perfect replacement as i had bought the trailer wiring from etrailer originally.



by:

This cable requires modifications to be used with Xterra and a few other brands of SUV's... due to the Aux and Brk wiring being reversed on these vehicles. Would be worth 5 stars if an adapter that fixes this issue be available. Also, the "help" page for this issue is very vague with small blurry pics, and so it is only there to say they did it.



by:

Works excellent for my 2012 Nissan Frontier. Near as I can tell, Nissan ran the wiring for 7 pin connectors on all Pathfinders, Xterras and Frontiers as long as you have the 4.0L motor (did this exact same part a few years back on my 2009 Xterra). What this gives you is a LOT of flexibility that a lot of other small trucks don't have. You can run powered brakes, install a cigarette lighter into the connector (really, etrailer even sells it!) and provide power to an RV trailer while towing (minimal, but it does charge the batteries. I used this as an opportunity to pull out the poorly installed aftermarket 4 pin connector that was installed with my (admittedly a good choice) Draw Tite 2" receiver hitch (was on the truck when I bought it). I drilled a hole next to the license plate with a hole saw, sealed it up with factory touch up paint and clearcoat to prevent rust, then popped the 7 pin connector in. This is how the new Dodge Ram has it, and it looks much nicer.



by:

The website was easy to use. The videos were helpful and let me know I was ordering the correct wire harness. Other websites show the wire harness as a 4 pin, which will only allow some of the lights to work. Also the pictures of the staff on the Web are a great touch and let me know I was not orderin from a faceless organization. The only downside is that I had a difficult time finding the bracket that would fit by vehicle ( xterra). So I picked brackets, I thought would fit, but the hitch has a lot of bends. When I got the bracket it didn't match the 7 pin connector. Only one bolt fit...I might have ordered the wrong one. Also it was hard to find a good place to mount the bracket. It might be much to ask but if the bracket was sold as a kit for new installation it might help. Though my order shipped quick and arrived quick so very pleased and will shop here again.



by:

Very easy to install! I have a 2007 Frontier Nismo off road. The reason I had to replace the harness was due to Nissan hanging the plug under the bumper. I took someone else's idea and used a 2" hole saw and mounted the new plug next to the license plate. Very simple and looks great!
I've read some complaints about the blue and black wires being in each other's spot... fortunately this won't affect me unless I upgrade.



by:

Works perfect like it should

The 7 pin was wired wrong. Need a replacement. Had to cut wires and jion them back. Plug camper in,brakes stayed on. Not allowing me to move new camper from dealership. Needing to get a replacement 7 way.

We have heard of this issue before with this harness. It sounds like that the 12 volt power and electric brake wire were switched. There are two things you can do to resolve this. You can cut the wires a few inches back from the black connector on the Tow Ready harness, switch them and butt connect them back together. If you cut them close to the black connector then the wire gauge difference will not be as much of a concern because the 12 volt power will only travel on the smaller gauge blue wire for a short distance.



by:

I go off road a lot in the SW desert and have lost a few hitch connections going through washes. I used to have to get these OEM from a dealer but my last replacement I found the same connector components available at etrailer for much less that what the dealer charged, so decided to give this vendor a try. The quality, in my opinion, was better than dealer OEM. I installed the connector easier than the OEM piece and so far it has connected up to a variety of rental trailers the first time and every time. This is lots better than my previous experiences using factory OEM connectors. Why I do not know but better quality at less cost makes me a steady and dedicated customer of etrailer.com parts.

Just like I said a year ago-works great. I have a 7 point hitch and if the trailer has an electric brake that works great also. The good thing for me is I am getting old & slowing down so have not torn off this one yet but have a pig hunt in a week so we will see! When I need another it will sure be another one of these



by:

The Good:
-Easy to install
-Looks
good when using mounting bracket. Nice clean look.
-More convenient than the 4-way flat I had been using. I had to replace those yearly as they don't hold up to the weather and lots of use.

The Bad:
-There is a know issue with the blue/grey wires. Hooked this up to my camper that uses trailer brakes. Tow vehicle is a 2010 Nissan Xterra. The brakes were locked up and powered "On". From other reviews this has been seen before. There is even a video on how to "fix" this.

Overall I do like this. I almost always tow a smaller 2-place trailer with a 4-way flat connection so I use adaptor. Could be issues if I ever need to tow a larger trailer with brakes.

The issue is that some Nissan trucks and SUVs have the 12-v and the brake output feed in the tow package wiring harness wired backwards. This is a fairly small percentage of the overall vehicles, but its significant enough that were definitely aware of it.



by:

I have placed several orders with etrailer.com and all the orders came to me as anticipated. Good customer service because their representatives know what they are talking about; they helped me match up my trailer electrical wiring components so that they work together and fit on my existing mounting holes. I will definitely order from etrailer.com the next time I need trailer stuff. They also had really reasonably priced cabin micro filters for my vehicle. Better to order all your stuff at one time if you can to get lower shipping cost, duh.

Ive had this harness on my Nissan for a year now and it works as good as the first day. No problems whatsoever. A good product all around.



by:

Fit on the bumper, easy install, looks nice.
I
installed this on my 2013 frontier, inset into the bumper, I drilled the hole and mounted it with some rivet-nuts.
Only 1 problem, the black(+12v) and blue(brakes) wires were swapped on the plug for the truck.
I was able to disassemble the connection and put the wires in the correct place. Other than that everything fits good, use plenty of silicone grease to keep connections from corroding.

update: a year later, still works perfectly, connection is good and secure and is dependable.



by:

Its a nice fit. Right amount of wire without excess hanging around. Didn't come with a mounting bracket which would have been nice since the mounting holes on the plug don't line up to the Reese bracket I already had.
Biggest problem I ran into was that the blue brake wire and black 12V supply wire were reversed in the plug. Really frustrated to find the terminals couldn't be removed from the plug body and their positions switched. Ended up cutting into a brand new harness.

This is a known problem this wiring harness on the vehicle side connection point of the plug. Due to the inconsistencies of which specific vehicles this wiring effects, we have not been able to formulate a solution other that exactly what you did. At this time re-wiring the connector is the best option.

Same issue, the charge and brake were reversed on the wiring harness. We ended up switching them in order to work with the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder.



by:

This item is an excellent replacement for the OEM harness for the 2013 Nissan Frontier. I replaced my harness on an Crew Cab SV Frontier. There are a couple of items to note: 1) If you are using the original mount for the harness that is already welded to the hitch, you will need to obtain another nut and bolt (or three if you want them to all look the same. I purchased three M6 x 20 Flange bolts with flange nuts). 2) You will also need to drill an additional hole at the top center of the mount and just above the right hole already drilled. As you can see in my pictures, the original mount is a cutout instead of a round hole. I have also included a picture of my before and after of the products. 3) When you push the female portion of the harness on to the mounted plug, you will have to push very hard or squeeze them very hard together until you get a click. I'm presuming everything hooked up excellently as I haven't used a meter to check the connections. The truck started up fine and using brakes and reverse didn't didn't blow any fuses. My order was shipped quickly even with a weekend order which was surprising. Package was delivered without any physical damages to the box. I rated this just shy of Excellent as I had to do some drilling and purchasing of screws to mount the replacement.



by:

I bought the harness and used it for a while but there seems to be a loose wire or two as the trailer brakes won't engage when plugged in. I ended up buying a factory harness instead

on my 2007 Nissan Frontier the 2 pole black and blue were reversed. Removed the terminals and re-installed them. Thanks e-trailer for the tip and great customer service. I see another post a 2008 Pathfinder had the same issue Pathfinder, Frontier, Xterra are basicly the same car So the question is........ is it the car harness or the aftermarket 7 pole harness wires reversed?

We are working on this and will have more complete information soon. We are working to source some vehicles for testing so we can be sure the information is accurate.


by:

Out of the box the wires were soldered into the wrong pins and caused my trailer breaks to stay constantly engaged. I only got a partial refund for the part and ended up having to pay to get what should have been working out of the box fixed. After the wires were put in the proper order everything worked as advertised. It was super easy to install with all the plug and play connections. Defiantly would have given this a five star review if the customer service gave me a full refund on the part of offered to pay to have the part fixed. Ended up having to put more money into this than what I paid even with the partial refund.. Not cool



by:

When I received the part the brake controller wire and 12 volt power wires were reversed. As the unit is a plug and play adapter it took a significant amount of time to determine what was wrong. Originally when I plugged my trailer into the installled 7 pin adapter my brakes locked soild and I was not getting 12 volt power tommy trailer. After a lot of work using a test light I had to read-wire the harness to make it work. Troubleshooting the problem took several hours.



by:

Parts allowed relocation of the trailer plug from below the bumper to beside the license plate. No more dragging off road! Cutting the hole in the bumper for the plug took a few minutes with a proper hole saw. Wiring harness supplied plugged right into my factory Nissan wiring under the truck.



by:

Fits perfect in my 17 frontier but the black and blue pin were crossed, i had to fix it myself, nothing big but if you're not good with your hands...also didn't come with screws to mount on bracket , so i use zip ties for now ,anyway i'll buy from this guys again.

The factory tow package connector on a few of the Nissan Xterras, Frontiers and Pathfinders from 2005 to 2017 had the 12 volt power and the electric brake wire switched. This isnt a consistent problem that occurs on every vehicle, nor is it isolated to a given model year.



by:

Great plug and play unit. Drilled a hole next to my plate for a clean install. One thing to note, and this is by no means the products fault, some Frontiers had their power and brake wires switched on the factory harness. Be sure to test with a light or multi meter. Mine was switched. Nice thing about this harness as it was easy to switch on this opposed to the factory wiring. Overall a great product and I would purchase again.



by:

Simple and easy to install



by:

Installation was a snap with the existing factory tow package wiring harness. I fabricated a mounting bracket for the 7-way plug-in and bolted it to the existing bumper next to the hitch. I also installed a 4 way trailer hookup for non-brake trailers. Looks neat, clean and professional. Total time to mount 7-way was less than 15 minutes after fabricating the mounting bracket.



by:

Overall great product and solves my problem of needing a 7 pole tow harness. Install was painless as the two pin connectors fit directly into the '13 Nissan Frontier OEM connectors if you have the tow package. My only complaint is that the trailer receptacle is not plug and play to my Frontier. The holes do not line up and the wiring harness required me to bend the metal plate under the truck. Not a huge deal, but I bought it thinking it was a direct fit to my truck.



by:

The product would have worked perfectly if I know what I needed. I am a DIY guy so I just took a shot at what I needed. Once I got the item, the instructions told me that if my vehicle did not come with an OEM tow package (which it did not, hence the purchase of a hitch), then I would need a relay harness that did not come with this item and to get it I would need to contact the car manufacturer. In my case this was Nissan. Nissan was not sure what I was looking for and I did not know/understand what I needed. I called customer service at etrailer and they told me that I should have purchased part 118266 which has the relays and everything else. I don't know why the instructions of 118267 don't refer the user to the correct part number (118266) if the same company makes the part with the relays. Seems strange to me. I went back to etrailer and ordered the correct one (118266) and trying to work out the return of the incorrect one (118267). So far, etrailer has been great.

  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Recommendation for 2009 Nissan Pathfinder
    To install a 7-way on your 2009 Nissan Pathfinder you'd need to start with the part # 118281 which is a confirmed fit. Then to install a brake controller you'd be able to use a plug and play style adapter like the # 3050-P and you'd be set. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount...

    If you need to change out the complete wiring harness on your 2007 Nissan Frontier then you will need the Replacement Wiring Harness # 118267. If you have the US carr connector still intact then you can use the Pollak # PK11893, but if you just have bare wires you would want the Pollak # PK12-707E instead.

You can confirm this by using a circuit tester like # PTW2992 and testing the 7-way trailer connector. On the brake output pin, which is in the 5:00 position, you should not have any voltage unless the manual override switch is engaged on the controller. If you test the pin in the 1:00 position, you should show a constant 12-volts. If the function...

However if you have a gray plug with an 8 pin that has a green wire instead of a 6 pin with orange, we don't have a fit for that 8 pin. Some Nissans have that connector instead and that causes compatibility issues.
