If your tow package includes a built-in port beneath your vehicle dash, I recommend installing the brake controller via this Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers for Nissan vehicles, Item # 3050-P. This adapter is confirmed by our fit guide to fit 2015 Nissan Pathfinders. To install your brake controller with this adapter, simply plug one end of the adapter into the brake controller and the other end into the port beneath your vehicle dash. This makes for a much simpler installation process than individually connecting all the wires from your brake controller to your vehicle.
On a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder with a factory tow package, the connector that attaches to the wiring adapter should be located under the dash near the brake pedal. This should connect with the 3050-P. If you are not able to locate the plug, you may want to check with your dealership for the plug location.
I've attached two help articles for your convenience. One provides instructions for installing brake controllers from scratch. The other is a brake controller FAQ page with a useful installation diagram. I've also included a photo of the built-in port that the adapter will plug into and a short video about how this particular adapter works.
