Troubleshooting Electric Brakes Locking Up With 2007 Nissan Frontier Using Harness 118266
Question:
I believe I have a faulty relay for my T-connector kit. Order #10640769, when the relay is installed, the brakes on any trailer hooked up lock-up, when the relay is taken out the brakes free up and then running lights do not work. Is it possible I have a bad relay? Is there any diagnostic I can perform at home? How soon can I get a replacement?

Expert Reply:
The issue with the brakes locking up is not a faulty relay. The electric brake and battery charge wires in the main harness are reversed on all Nissan Frontiers that requires the use of Harness # 118266.

Having problems with my break terminal being energized on my 7way trailer connector #118266. Have a 2016 Nissan Frontier. Your trouble shooting post said this is the correct harness and relays,so could I be missing something else. The truck came from Canada if that has anything to do with any wiring changes?
