From what I was able to learn, the connection point for the Hopkins Plug-in Simple Brake Wiring Adapter - Nissan, # HM47635, can be found underneath and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. There should be a 6-pin connector that mates with the one on the adapter.
If you cannot find this port, and the truck did not come with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector, you will probably need to install a 4-Way (if needed), # 33515, and then install a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7, in order to install the brake controller. I have included links on installing an ETBC7 that should help should the 2004 Nissan Frontier need to be hardwired.
