there was no way to use the mounting screws for the bracket to the bumper.
So I had to tap the holes in my bumper 1/4-20 and buy some 1/4-20 bolts
about 1/2" long. then I had to drill out the holes on the bracket so the
1/4-20 bolts would go thru.

This was the perfect factory install for my 2022 Nissan Frontier. The quick connects match with the two plugs found at the rear frame rail. The factory ends have "dummy" ends that need to be removed first and spraying the top with a silicone spray may help with disconnecting. Be sure to use dielectric grease before connecting the 7-Way plug.

SO EASY UNPLUGED OLD HARNESS - PLUGED IN NEW- DRILLED 2 HOLES FOR HARNESS BRACKET



by:

Easy installation, works just like the original factory installed one.



by:

The only thing that I wish is that you would have included bolts to connect the wiring harness to the bumper. It provided bolts for the bracket to hook up to the bumper. I had to provide the bolts to the wiring the goes to the bumper. Not a big deal really, but if you bought a kit. You would think all the bolts needed would come in kit.

2014 Nissan Frontier

Recently went into business for myself. My old plug on my 2014 Nissan Frontier was not holding up. I messed it up during the install. Needing to pull a trailer I began searching for a plug that would work. I wanted something that was plug and play and allowed either a 7 way or 4 flat connector. During my search i came across the Hopkins Plug-in. It is designed to be mounted underneath the truck with the provided bracket. I emailed etrailer.com. I got a response back almost immediately from George. I told him what my plans were for the connector. He said that it should work as the connector didn’t need the bracket to be mounted. Since I already had a hole drilled to 2 1/4”, I prepared myself to notch my bumper a little in order for it to fit. What a pleasant surprise, this connector fit right through my previous hole. I did have to drill 4 additional holes 11/32” to mount it. I used paint primer to cover those holes up before permanently installing the connector. It truthfully is plug and play. I have attached pictures of what it n ow looks like. I highly recommend this product and company.

Arrived a day before delivery date. 15 minutes to install on my truck. Easy plug in to the wire harness. Very smooth to plug in and disconnect



by:

organize for the June excursion. After investigating weights and amenities of a plethora of rental RVs, it occurred to me that we would need a 7-pin wiring connector instead of the 4-pin connector that the Nissan dealership installed on our 2019 Frontier. I concluded that the jumper harness under the passenger side kick plate was already in place – and that any 7-pin harness would use the same jumper. A scan of sites listed by Google made it abundantly unclear how to proceed. Multiple websites offered a 7-pin harness – but no 4-pin option. YouTube videos showed how to install a harness and a jumper – the one we assumed was already in place. The eTrailer website offered an optimum, combined, 4-pin and 7-pin harness specifically configured for a Frontier and numerous, satisfied Frontier owners confirmed the eTrailer harness operability. All I needed then was to confirm the process of disengaging the existing 4-pin harness and removing the cover to the dissimilar 7-pin harness; I was unsuccessful the three times I had tried. One website, that showed how simple the installation process was, yet cleverly skipped those two procedures. So, I called the Nissan service department and was told one of two mechanics would call me back; they did not. A second call went to the parts department voice mail -- with no return call. As a last resort, I visited the same Nissan dealership and after discussions with two customer service agents and the parts man, I was taken to a mechanic in one of the shop bays for expert advice. Oddly, he was not aware of any dual harness for a Frontier newer than 2022. Since I knew otherwise, I simply asked for a demonstration on how to manage the harness connectors. From a drawer full of Nissan cables, he pulled out a harness and demonstrated where to push with a short screwdriver. Easy! After deftly reproducing the tasks at home, I promptly ordered a cable from eTrailer. The package arrived last evening and an examination of the contents suggested that the process would be as simple as YouTube videos indicated. My installation took about 45 minutes – much of which was going back and forth to the workshop to get different items. The included, bracket-mounting bolts were longer than necessary so I sought shorter ones. A short flathead screwdriver was insufficient; an offset screwdriver was also necessary to tighten bracket bolts properly. The box wrench to mount the bracket was not the same size required to connect the harness to the bracket. The flashlight bulb blew halfway through the installation; my coffee mug spilled; I lost a lock washer in my shirt while on my back and then to cap it all off, I had to disconnect and reconnect the harness after taking pictures because I had neglected to apply the terminal grease. The installation was very straightforward and there was no excess cable to hide or wrap in the undercarriage. No bundle ties required. Perfect. Unfortunately, I cannot test the 7-pin harness at home. Well, I could with my multimeter – but there is no one else home to pump the brakes.
Thank you, eTrailer, for a great product.

The harness is well made. Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem of having brake lights but no running lights on my 2018 Nissan Frontier.

It was an easy install, has held up to abuse, and has come in handy switching between my utility trailer with a 4 pin connector and my camper with a 7 pin connector!

Something just shorted out after 9 mos and fried the wiring in the truck too. It’s in the shop being diagnosed. Hundreds of dollars. Don’t know if it’s this harness or something else. But it’s a pain. Ordered another one so we can diagnose it.



by:

This harness was more than I had expected. The bracket lined up perfectly with the existing holes on bottom of bumper and the installation and testing literally took minutes. So far I’m very happy with this product, especially the fact that no adapter is needed for the 4 pin connection.



by:

It was harder to take out the old wiring than it was to put in the whole new plug and hanger. After I finished the test was perfect for both the 4 and 7 pin plugs. Thanks trailer!

  • 7-Way For 2021 Nissan Frontier Without Factory Tow Package
    We do have an option for you as the Hopkins # HM43534 is only for the factory tow package. So because your 2021 Nissan Frontier does not have the factory tow package, you'll need a wiring kit that includes the relay jumper harness which connects to a 12-pin plug that is behind the kick panel on the passenger’s side in the cab. The correct part to add a 7-way is the following: - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56226 The relays and jumper harness of the # C56226 are not available...

  • My Nissan Frontier Already Has 3 Relays And Running Lights Still Do Not Work
    Are there still open spots on the fuse panel? A lot of times there will be 1 brown relay that activates the 12v power for the trailer connector, and there will be 2 blue relays which are for the turn signals. So even though there are already 3 relays, 1 additional blue relay is still needed for the running lights. Your owners manual should tell you the exact relay location but you may need a single one of the blue relays that comes with the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. Either you will need...

  • Will Hopkins HM43534 Work On 2021 Nissan Frontier With Factory Tow Package?
    Hello Jason, thanks for the picture! Sounds like you are on the right track here, because the Hopkins # HM43534 is exactly correct for replacing the plug in your picture. Since your Frontier has the tow package, you will be able to simply plug in, mount the socket with the included bracket and you will be good to go. It will work great with the Curt Echo wireless controller. Reply below with any other question or comments and I will get back to you.

    You are definitely on the right track. It sounds like you did install a wiring harness and relays like part # C56225.

For operating electric brakes you will also need a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha prodigy P3 part # 90195. This is a great all around controller and gives you pully proportional braking.

  • Troubleshooting Running Lights Not Working On 2019 Nissan Frontier With Hopkins Wiring Harness
    There isn't much to the # HM43534 so I would check out the vehicle wiring. You could start by checking the Hopkins wiring right after the vehicle connector, or test the connector and wire on the vehicle side. More than likely you don't have any power coming from the factory wiring. Assuming that is the case, I would check the fuses. If a fuse isn't blown then it is likely a short in the wiring which you can attempt to find and repair or take it to a local repair shop.
