Expert Answers about Nissan Pathfinder

• Location of Brake Controller Connector in 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
• We installed a Tekonsha brake controller in a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder and made a video on it. I linked it for you. Even though you're installing a Hayes controller with the # HA81786-HBC adapter the vehicle-side connector is the same. Skip ahead to about the 6:30 mark in the video and you'll see where the connector is located.

• Where is the Brake Controller Adapter Plug In on a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
• The brake controller adapter plug can be found by checking near the parking brake pedal for a main harness; you'll follow that main harness up and look for an offshoot (sub harness) of the main harness, doubled up and taped to the main harness about half way up behind the dash. You may want to remove the fuse box cap to get a glimpse at it. The cap is white with no wires coming out of the top and held by fabric black tape. There is a cap that has to be removed, which you'll just press...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver Made In The USA For a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder
• Yes, we do have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C46DR which is made in the USA for your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. Do note that while the receiver is made in the USA some of the mounting hardware may be imported. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK58VR will provide you with a 4-way flat connector. This connector is needed for the lights on most small trailers you might tow as well as with Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessory that impairs the view of your vehicle...

• Weight Distribution and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
• Any time the weight of the trailer is more than half the weight of the tow vehicle it's a really good idea to use weight distribution. For the trailer weight you mentioned it would be a very good idea but not completely required. I would still recommend it though. It's going to give you better handling, braking, and reduce suspension sag. You referenced an Equal-i-zer system which is the best setup around but for the weight of your trailer you'd be best off with the part # EQ37060ET which...

• Locating Jumper Plug for 7-Way Installation in 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
• The # 118266 is designed for a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder without a factory trailer connector. The plug for the jumper will be in the location you described, behind the kick panel on the passenger's side. However, since you already have a factory trailer connector there will already be a jumper in place which means you aren't going to see an open plug. This is probably the reason why you aren't finding it. This would also mean you have the relays in place. Assuming that is the case, you can...

• Is Just Harness of Tekonsha 4-Way Kit for 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Available
• Tekonsha does not offer us just the harness and relay from the Tekonsha kit part # TK58VR that fits your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The only way to get those components would be with the entire kit. This would give you a back up 4-way in case something happened to yours though.

• Bracket for Mounting 7-Way Install on 2019 Nissan Pathfinder with Curt Hitch
• Since the Curt hitch part # C13309 that fits your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't have a trailer wiring bracket (none of the hitches for your vehicle do) the best options is to use a bracket # PK12711U attached to the lower rear fascia so that you can easily mount the 7-way kit that also fits your vehicle part # C56357. I attached a picture that shows what the wiring connectors look like at the rear of your vehicle as well.

• Transmission Cooler for 2010 Nissan Pathfinder with Leaking Radiator Defect
• Nissan has extended the factory warranties on radiators on 2005-2010 Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra models. You might want to contact your Nissan dealer for details. I urge you to take this step first since it may solve your problem at little or no cost to you. If you do not want to work with your Nissan dealer you can instead purchase an aftermarket replacement radiator and have it installed by a qualified service technician. If you ever are in need of a supplementary cooler, please...

• Will Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs F4118 Provide Lift For 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
• The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F4118 you mentioned for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder will not lift your vehicle, but will just provide between 500-1000lbs of load leveling support to fight suspension sag when towing a trailer. You can fine tune the amount of support by adjusting the helper springs between 5-35 PSI to get the exact support you need. The # F4118 includes everything needed for the install, but if you would rather not have to manually inflate each bag when...

• Will the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box fit a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder with Factory Crossbars
• The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, has not been confirmed to fit the factory crossbars of your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, but you can take a few measurements of your roof rack to determine if it will fit. The mounting hardware of the Vista XL will fit crossbars up to 3-7/8 inches wide x 1-1/4 inches tall. It also requires a crossbar spread between 23-5/8 inches and 34 inches. The crossbar spread is the distance between the front and rear crossbar on center. If these dimensions do...

• Installation oCurt Trailer Wiring Harness # C56225 on 2012 Nissan Pathfinder
• Although we have not yet had the opportunity to install the # C56225 trailer wiring harness on a 2012 Pathfinder, my contact at Curt tells me that the only difference in the installation between the Pathfinder, Xterra and Frontier is the location of the connector at the rear of the vehicle that the 4-pole connector would plug into. The procedure for installing the remainder of the harness and the relays behind the kick panel in the passenger side front seat foot well is exactly the same...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Flat Vehicle Wiring Harness For 2024 Nissan Pathfinder

This receiver has a hidden cross tube for a clean appearance and will bolt to your frame with the included hardware and no drilling. I recommend installing the Wiring Harness # TK58VR with the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is the most commonly found connector on small trailers you may tow. You can also use this connector to add Auxiliary...

• How to Tell If 46" Rhino-Rack Crossbars Will Fit 2023 Nissan Pathfinder with Raised Rails
• The Rhino-Rack roof rack for your 2023 Nissan Pathfinder with raised rails uses the 49" Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 as well as the SX Series Legs # RRSX100. You might be able to use the shorter 46" Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 but you'll need to measure the outermost distance between the raised rails to determine fitment. The outside part of the clamp on the SX Series Legs lines up with the outermost piece that fits into the track so if your raised rails measure 46" or less outside to...

• Does The Curt Hitch 13088 Require Drilling To Be Installed On A 1996 Nissan Pathfinder?
• The Curt # 13088 will require absolutely no drilling to get installed on your 1996 Nissan Pathfinder. This will bolt right into factory weld nuts that are already in your frame, so it's a nice easy install. With that being said, these weld nuts can get clogged up with debris over time, so you may need to clean them out before the install. This is pretty common and all you need to do is soak them with WD40 and then scrub them out with something like the Nylon Tube Brush # 814092. This is...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wire On A 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
• When it comes to troubleshooting The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118273 on your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder you would first need to replace all the relays in the harness. It sounds like a fuse overloaded somewhere. I checked your vehicle's manual and can not find the fuse locations so I can not give you the location to look at. If all the fuses are good, then the next step would be to use The Circuit Tester # PTW2993 and check the wiring...

• The Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket with Mounting Bracket # HM40975 comes with the trailer connector, mounting bracket, and 2 self-tapping screws. I have attached photo showing the included parts. There is no wiring harness included with # HM40975. I have also attached a photo showing what the socket on the back of the connector looks like. This socket should mate with a plug already on your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder with factory wiring harness. I have attached an installation...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
• We organize our transmission coolers by class as a way to reflect roughly how heavy of towing they were intended for. I don't personally think it's the best way to organize them but I can understand the logic behind it. With all of that said I would recommend the Derale part # D13503 for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder as it's a larger cooler in a more efficient style that would do a really great job keeping your transmission fluid temps down and therefore prolonging the life of the transmission.

• Replacement Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
• The complete wiring harness and relays needed for your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is # 118273. Unfortunately, the # 118267 is not the direct replacement part that will work on your 2014. It's the direct replacement for # 118266 for older model Pathfinders and has a different wiring layout. There isn't a replacement harness for the # 118273.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring Harness and Brake Controller for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
• Let's begin with the class III trailer hitch. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13309. This US made hitch offers great quality at a reasonable price point. The hitch is a concealed design, which means that the only portion of the hitch that will be visible from the rear of the vehicle is the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops. The hitch crossbar is fully concealed behind the bumper. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118273 which provides a 7-way trailer connector....
