Expert Answers about Nissan Armada


  • Does ground for ETBC7 Kit Need to be Installed if 4-Way on 2017 Nissan Armada is Already Installed
  • Yes you still need to ground the white wire for the Wiring Kit # ETBC7 because there are some additional functions that come with the 7-Way plug. You can actually use the same ground point that you used for your Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 if it is nearby, otherwise you'll need to find another suitable location for this second ground.

  • How to Wire a Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller # 39510 to a 2012 Nissan Armada
  • You're very close, to see how your Tekonsha Voyager part # 39510 should install to the factory wiring of your 2012 Nissan Armada check out the chart I attached that shows how it all connects. The red/blue wire you found will not be used, that is the third brake light circuit and is not needed. The B+ wire SHOULD be a red wire and will be the 12 volt circuit and would get run to the black wire of your controller.

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2017 Nissan Armada
  • You should be able to install the Tekonsha Voyager brake controller part # 39510 in your 2017 Nissan Armada with the install harness part # 3050-P and the 7-way install kit part # N40975 as our understanding is that every Armada in 2017 came wired for this setup.

  • As far as functionality there isn't one place that is really better than another for the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit # D13950 on a 2017 Nissan Armada.

  • What PSI Should My AirBags Be At When I Am Not Pulling A Trailer?
  • When not towing/pulling anything with your Nissan Armada, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4150 should be inflated to a minimum of 5psi to prevent the bags from deforming without any air in them. When towing, you want to start inflating the bags according to how much your vehicle is sagging at the rear, and stop inflating when the vehicle is at its normal ride height. Remember to never exceed 35psi with this system. I attached a helpful demonstration video for you.
