Expert Answers about Nissan Pathfinder


  • Restoring Weld Nuts to Install a Trailer Hitch for 1997 Nissan Pathfinder
  • I recommend the Curt Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13088. I have included installation instructions as well. I have included a video showing the installation of the hitch on a similar vehicle and a video showing how to clean the weld nuts in the frame of your vehicle. You will need to check the installation points under the vehicle in the frame. If the weld nuts are rusty you will need to clean them and work properly sized bolts into them until you can easily install the hitch. If...

  • Can I Turn my PowerJack to Clear My Rear Lift Gate on my 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
  • Your jack part # LC285318 can be turned to get your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder's rear lift gate open. The holes in the jack and on your trailer should be slotted, so turning the jack is straight forward and the holes should line up. If the holes don't line up, you can drill a hole in your trailer to position the jack in the best orientation for you.

  • Recommended Rain Guards for a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder

  • Trailer Connector Not Working on 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The Hopkins wiring harness you purchased for your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is for models that came with a factory tow package. Since your harness is not working the vehicle probably does not have the factory tow package so it is missing some key components. Using trailer wiring harness # 118670 will provide these missing components and allow the trailer wiring harness to work. The jumper harness installs in the rear most part of the Pathfinder under the floor. I have linked the instructions...

  • Need Longer Hardware to Install X-Cargo Rooftop Cargo Box on 2003 Nissan Pathfinder Factory Bars
  • Thule offers replacement carriage bolts for its X-Cargo series of roof top boxes, including the 60-mm M6 bolt you referenced, part # TH04852. You do not mention how much additional length you need for installing the box on your 2003 Pathfinder's factory crossbars, but if the 60-mm length is not sufficient Thule also offers X-Cargo carriage bolts in a 75-mm length, part # TH915-0675-11.

  • Troubleshooting Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harness # 118266 Install
  • Okay, I think I have a suspicion about what might have happened.... the jumper harness should be plugged into an EMPTY connector, as shown in the photo I've edited for you. You shouldn't have had to unplug anything to plug the jumper in. What you've unplugged is the wiring harness for the passenger side door. Did your vehicle already have a 4-pole connector on it, or did it have no connector at all? If it already has a 4-pole, the jumper harness is already in place behind the toe kick...

  • Upgrading Existing 4-Pole Trailer Connector on 2017 Nissan Pathfinder to 7-Way
  • The Tekonsha # 118273 7-way trailer connector uses the same jumper harness and relays that are used by the Curt # C56281 so you can simply leave those in place and install the 7-way and harness provided with the # 118273 and plug it into the factory connectors you described. That harness will provide the trailer lighting, a 12V feed and transmit the brake controller output from the connector under the dash, but you'll need to install a brake controller to actually actuate the trailer brakes. For...

  • Availability of Concealed Trailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan Pathfindeer
  • The hitches we offer would all install so that the receiver tube sits directly under the rear bumper, such as the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13309. In order to get a hitch like what you described, you'd need to get the OEM hitch from Toyota, as well as the specific bumper cover with the knockout for the receiver to pass through. If the hitch can be installed aftermarket, it will be very expensive. I certainly understand why you'd want a hitch to install through the bumper fascia, trailer...

  • Does Tekonsha T-One Wiring Kit Connect to 8-Pin Gray Connector on 2012 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The white plug that comes with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118266 should be a 12-pin connector that plugs in at the cab behind the passenger's side kick panel. The other ends of the 12-pin connector will connect to the included relays. The wiring harness that has the 7-Way connector plugs in at the back of your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder and should match up directly with the plugs found near the driver's side rear tire. You will likely need to disconnect...

  • Troubleshooting A Furrion FOS48TAPK-BL Monitor Cord That Keeps Blowing Fuses
  • For it to repeatedly blow fuses you either have a faulty power cord or faulty monitor. I recommend starting with the cheapest replacement, the power cord # C-FOS07TAPK-006. If this doesn't solve the issue then you're looking at a total replacement of your system since it is the older model and the monitors aren't available. If this is unfortunately the route you have to take there are quite a few options now. The base would be the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night...

  • Can A Weight Distribution System Be Used With A 2022 GeoPro G20FBS?
  • You shouldn't have any issues with the Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank # RP66540 with your 2022 GeoPro G20FBS with the chain hangers # RP58305. However, to determine the correct weight distribution system for your trailer, you're going to need to determine your fully loaded, ready to tow, tongue weight. You can use the etrailer Trailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 to help you determine this. If this range is 200lbs-600lbs, then the Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank #...

  • Why Am I Getting Only 4.5V To My Running Lights?
  • The running lights draw more power so a weak ground could be preventing the full draw. I would go over your grounds and then test your wires with this tester # PTW2993 again.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and 7-Way Wiring for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The wiring kit, part # C56357, includes everything you need to get it installed on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. This kit is plug and play and is easy to get installed. I have attached an install video to help with the installation. The hitch for your Pathfinder, part # 76031 includes all of the hardware to get it installed on your Pathfinder. There is a welded on bracket to add wiring, but you need another bracket, Part # A10-9394VP, to get the plug for a 7-way mounted more solid.

  • Recommend Kayak Carrier for 2013 Nissan Pathfinder with Factory Rack

  • Trailer Connector Recommendations for 2013 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The trailer wiring kit you need will depend on what kind of trailer you're wanting to tow and what kind of trailer connector it has. For a smaller trailer that doesn't have brakes and uses a 4-pole trailer connector, the # 118670 would work great. If your trailer has a 7-way trailer connector I'd recommend the # 118273 which is compatible with vehicles with or without the tow package. If the trailer has brakes, you'll need a brake controller to actuate them. For a simple electric braking...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
  • I have a solution for you, but unfortunately there is not a slip on towing mirror available for the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. However, the CIPA Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # 11953-2 provide a great solution that attach to your mirrors securely with ratcheting rubber straps. We've actually tested these out on a similar Pathfinder and they did great in terms of providing a secure fit that didn't vibrate a ton and distort the images; I've linked that video to this answer...

  • Is There a Standard Profile Setting that Curt Echo Can Use with Trailer
  • I would recommend you run through the setup process outlined in the attached instructions so that you have settings that work as ideally as possible with the trailer you have now. There isn't a generic setting we can recommend for a trailer based on weight as across all trailer weights the sensitivities of the brakes vary widely. I also attached a link to a review video for more info as well. There would be no need to disconnect the controller before parking on a sloped driveway. Once...

  • Does Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller C51180 Work In 2020 Nissan Pathfinder?
  • You are 100% correct. As long as your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder has a fully functional 7-way connector the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 will work perfectly. If you do not have a 7-way connector you can install one using the Tekonsha # 118273. This is a great choice as it does not require any wiring or drilling holes in the interior of your new Pathfinder, and can be used in any other vehicle you may own with a functional 7-way connector so you only ever need one...

  • Will Safety Straps of Curt 3-Bike Towing Rack Work on 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
  • Yes, your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is compatible and will work with the safety straps of the Curt bike rack you mentioned, which is the following part: - Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack for 2" Ball Mounts # C18013 The hooks are vinyl coated so they won't harm the finish on your Pathfinder at all. In regards to your other question, there isn't another option for a 3-bike towing rack without straps, though I'm confident you'll be happy with the Curt rack. The only other thing I wanted to mention...
