Replacement Trailer Left Turn Signal/Brake Light Relay for a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
Question:
My father-in-law has a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. His Left turn signal and break signal doesnt work on the trailer. On the vehicle side it works find but not on the trailer. If I hook up the trailer to my vehicle it works fine. Ive trace it back to the 4 way connector and use a multi-meter to check for 12 volts but no voltage present on the second port from the top down. Ive checked the first port right turn/brake signal and i get the 12 volt with no problem. Then I did a continuity test from the 2nd port all the way to where it was connected to. Then I checked the other connector and still not getting any left/break signal from there. Then the wires goes inside the car. Ive read that it goes to several relay underneath the seat and some under the hood. Ive also read the brown and blue relay in the fuse box underneath hood could be the corporate or the one underneath which seat in the truck? I see the fuse box is label with the words Towing on two places, is this the correct spot? What about the ones underneath the seats?...thank you l

Expert Reply:
I don't think there are any relays under the seat of a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder but there could be some behind the kick panel on the passenger's side, front. The relay that is missing or blown is likely one of the blue relays from the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. The easiest way to determine if a relay is bad is to use a known good relay in place of a potential bad one. The relays for the tow package turn signals/brake lights are under the hood. If the right turn signal one is working, try putting it in place of the left turn signal one to see if that heals it.
