  • 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...

  • 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.

  • What Size Bolts are Used to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
  • You should be able to find out the exact bolts needed for installing a trailer hitch on your 1999 Nissan Pathfinder by looking at the installation instructions. If you take a look at the installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13088, which is a fit for your Pathfinder, you can see that Draw-Tite specifies that M12 x 1.25 x 35mm CL810.39 size bolts be used. Although all of our trailer hitches that fit your Pathfinder use this size bolt for installation, I recommend...

  • Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller Installation in 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
  • If your Pathfinder has a factory-installed 7-way trailer connector then installation of the Voyager brake controller # 39510 will require only the wiring adapter # 3050-P. For a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder that does not have any existing trailer wiring, the easiest way to install a trailer brake controller is to use our # ETBC7 kit along with harness and relay kit # 118266. You will end up with an extra 7-way but that's not a bad thing as they can require replacement after a period of time. Installation...

  • 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...

  • Trailer Connector Options for 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
  • We do indeed have trailer connector harnesses that will work with your 2018 Pathfinder. If you needed a 4-pole trailer connector, use # 118670. For a 7-way trailer connector, use # 118273. Both harness kits include the relays needed to activate the trailer wiring tow package. If you use the 7-way and the trailer has electric brakes, you'll need a brake controller to actuate them. The Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160 is a reasonably priced proportional controller that would provide reliable,...

  • Parts Needed to Install Electric Brake Controller on 2002 Nissan Pathfinder with 4-Way Connector
  • The electric brake controller I suggest is the Prodigy P3 # 90195. It's one of the most reliable controllers and is easy to use because of the LCD. To install a controller you'll need our # ETBC7 kit. This will include the 7-way trailer connector you need and everything for the brake controller. It'll use the 4-way connector you already have. It's very unlikely you'll need the # 10-2-1 extra wire but it's always s better to have too much than too little. The # ETBC7 kit includes 25...

  • Should I Install 2 Pairs Of Snow Tire Chains On My 2015 Nissan Pathfinder
  • When it comes to installing The Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains # TC2229 on your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder if you have front wheel drive I would recommend getting only one pair of chains if you have all wheel drive then I would recommend getting 2 pairs so you have a chain on all 4 tires. The Titan chains can be used in light and deep snow. The chains have a ladder-pattern design that helps assist with effective starts and stops. The maximum speed rating of the tire chains are 30 mph. These...

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
  • Everything that I see seems to indicate that the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector. So it could be that yours was converted to a 4-Way at some point and all you will need to do is get the factory 7-Way re-installed by the dealer and then add the brake controller and wiring harness. For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885 which is the newer version of the popular Prodigy that you have referenced. It is our most popular controller...

  • Relay Needed for Installing Aftermarket Tow Package on 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
  • For the relay, you will want to use the Curt Relay Kit for Nissan Aftermarket Tow Package # C57000. The blue relays included in the # C57000 kit activate the turn signals and the brown relay activates the 12-volt power circuit. You will need the relay for your 2006 Nissan Pathfinder if it did not come equipped with a factory tow package.

  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Installation on 2012 Nissan Pathfinder with 4-Pole Trailer Connector
  • If your 2012 Pathfinder did not come from the factory with a 7-way at the rear bumper, just a 4-pole flat connector, there probably is not be a brake control connection port under the dash. The linked video will illustrate the location of the port on a 2013 Pathfinder that has a factory 7-way. Please refer to the 2:45 mark in the video. If you do not have the under-dash port you'll simply use installation kit # ETBC7 instead of the quick-connect harness # 3050-P. The ETBC7 includes wiring,...

  • Recommended Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder
  • You are definitely on the right track when it comes to everything you need for towing with your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118 is a good idea to help with sag, but we always recommend using a weight distribution (WD) system for any trailer that weighs more than half of the curb weight (unloaded weight) of the tow vehicle. A WD system will help with sag because it distributes the total tongue weight (loaded tongue weight of the trailer and anything...

  • Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2009 Nissan Pathfinder with a Factory 4-Way
  • Since you already have a factory 4-way trailer connector on your 2009 Nissan Pathfinder use our # ETBC7 kit to convert it to a 7-way. It uses your existing 4-way and leaves you with a fully functioning 7-way with a 4-way as well. I've linked a video of the kit being installed on an Xterra for you. The vehicle is different but the process is basically the same. Then to install the P3, part # 90195, there should be a connector under your Pathfinder's dashboard. Use part # 3050-P to connect...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
  • If your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder has the factory tow package then the correct 7-way wiring harness kit is # 118273. This kit includes the required relays and connects to the vehicle behind the rear bumper. If you want a 4-pole harness or do not have a factory 7-way then the correct kit is # 118670 which also includes the relays and shares the same connection point under the bumper. Some Pathfinders without the tow package may not have the relay box in the back and so this might need to be...

  • Upgrading a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder with 4-Way Trailer Connector to Tow a Trailer with Brakes
  • You're already off to a great start with the Draw-Tite hitch, part # 76031, and Tekonsha 4-way wiring harness, part # 118670, you already have on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. You're going to unplug the 4-way and instead use the replacement 7-way, part # 118267. The jumper harness with the relays that you installed before from the 4-way will stay in place and still be used by the new 7-way. Then you need a brake controller for the trailer's brakes. I recommend the Curt Echo, part # C51180....
