Parts Needed to Install an Electric Brake Controller in a 2010 Nissan Xterra
Question:
Ive just installed a C56226 7-way on my 2010 Xterra. I now need to install brake controller C51130. The Xterra does not have a factory tow package. Since I already have a 7-way, what wiring/install kit options do i have to wire in the brake controller? thanks Larry

Expert Reply:
Since you already have the Curt 7-Way T-Connector, part # C56226, and it plugged right into the round connector on your 2010 Nissan Xterra you likely have the electric brake controller connector under the dash.
Look under your dash for a connector that the wiring harness, part # C51382, plugs into. It's likely located to the left of the steering column, and possibly taped to another harness. If you have this connector then the # C51382 harness is all you need to install the Curt Reflex Brake Controller.
If there is no connector under the dash then instead you'll need to run wiring using our kit, part # 5506, from the 7-way connector to the brake controller.
