Expert Answers about Nissan Armada

• Trailer Running Lights Not Working When Connected to 2008 Nissan Armada with Factory Tow Package
• It is very common for the Armada to lack a relay that allows your trailer's running lights to function. For this you will need the 4 Terminal Relay, one of the blue relays in the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. To access the relay connection point in your 2008 Nissan Armada, you will need to remove the kick panel on the driver's side. The location for the relay will be to the left of the steering column. I have attached a video of the relay being installed on a Titan. Check out the 3-minute mark....

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brake and Signal Lights Not Working With 2005 Nissan Armada
• To troubleshoot your brake and signal lights now working I would start by checking the trailer connectors. Make sure they are not damaged and are free from debris and corrosion. From there, I would use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check the vehicle side connector. If you have power for the brakes and turn signals then the problem is on the trailer side. Check your trailer wiring for a short and make sure you have a good ground connection. If it is the vehicle side then I would...

• Can Electric Trailer Brakes Interact with Hydraulic Brakes on 2012 Nissan Armada
• Your trailer's electric brakes do not interact with the hydraulic brakes on your Armada. The two systems are entirely separate from one another. If the brakes on the Armada are in good working order the only way that they would heat up from towing is if the trailer brakes were not working and the Armada's had to do all the work of stopping both the vehicle and the trailer. You would probably feel this when you slowed the vehicle as the trailer pushing into the back of the SUV. For safety's...

• Troubleshooting Vehicle and Trailer Lights When Towing with 2013 Nissan Armada
• If your Armada behaves normally when the trailer is not connected, and all of the vehicle's lights work as they should, and the problem only occurs when you plug in the trailer then this tells us that it is likely the issue is in the wiring on your trailer. Something as simple as corrosion inside the trailer plug (or the vehicle socket) could easily cause issues with lighting circuits or the trailer brake circuit. If there is corrosion inside the connectors two different circuits could...

• Wire For Left Turn Function Not Receiving Power on 2013 Nissan Armada w/ Factory Wired Trailer Hitch
• On the factory wiring for your 2013 Nissan Armada, it is possible that a relay is missing that is required to power the left turn pin. If you look at your relay panel, which is usually on the passenger side under the hood, near your battery, there should be a map of the different locations and their functions. There will be a position for both trailer turn right hand and trailer turn left hand. If you find that you are missing a relay, you can use part # C57000 which includes the 3 required...

• Troubleshooting a 2005 Nissan Armada Trailer Turn Signals Not Functioning
• It sounds like you have isolated the problem to being on your 2005 Nissan Armada. The relays could be bad like you suggested, which you could try replacing them to see if that helps. Another possible solution would be a bad ground. You might check the condition of the ground circuit to make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. We sell the relays, you would want Curt Relay Kit # C57000. The blue relays are the turn signal relays so it would make sense if replacing them would fix...

• Troubleshooting Left Turn and Brake Lights Not Working on a Trailer Towed by a 2004 Nissan Armada
• The problem you are experiencing could be associated with a bad ground and/or corrosion in the trailer side or vehicle side connectors. I would start by cleaning out any dirt or corrosion from the front and back of the trailer connectors to see if that fixes the problem. If not, I would move on to checking the ground on the trailer. Make sure the ground from the trailer plug is attached to a clean metal surface. Then you can check the grounds at the tail lights. On many trailers, the tail...

• Recommended Solution to Fix Sag on 2018 Nissan Armada SE Towing Trailer with Weight Distribution
• There could be a few things at play here, but since you're already using a weight distribution system I think the first thing I would do is check to verify that my tongue weight is not more than 15% of the GVWR of the trailer; it looks like the 2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2109s has a GVWR of around 5700-lbs, so you'll want to confirm that it's no more than 850-lbs using a tongue weight scale like the # 5780 (850-lbs is the maximum tongue weight for a 2018 Armada). If you're over weight at the...

• How to get Running Lights to Work at the Trailer Plug on a 2004 Nissan Armada
• You will need another Relay. The relay you will need is a small blue relay included in part # C57000. There is a relay socket under the dash just to the left of the steering column. Since your vehicle did not have the towing package installed at the factory this relay was not installed and will be needed to power the tail lights at the 7-Way and 4-way connector. The under dash connector will have 4 wires going into it. They will be Red/light blue, brown, black and red. This relay will...

• Not All Trailer Lights Work on Pontoon Boat Trailer Towed by a 2005 Nissan Armada
• The first thing I recommend is to check the vehicle side trailer connector using a circuit tester like # PTW2979 if you need one. Have someone sit in the vehicle and run through the lighting functions while you test the trailer connector with the circuit tester. If not all the functions work, you may need some relays. On a 2005 Nissan Armada there are tow package wiring relays that allow the wiring to function. It very well could be that some of the relays are missing or bad on your Armada....

• Trailer Running Lights Not Working when Connected to a 2013 Nissan Armada
• You are correct. The Armada for some reason seems to lack an additional relay in the in-cab fuse panel. Installing this relay will allow the tow package running light circuit to work. The relay you need is one of the blue relays from the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. The panel is located under the driver side dash to the left of the steering column.

• Only Running Lights are Working on Trailer with Multi-Tow Adapter
• To find the solution to your problem you may need to check a few things. Your 2013 Nissan Armada needs to have two relays for your left and right turn signals and brake lights # C57000 in order for them to work so you will need to check these. There's a video attached of the Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2010 Nissan Titan. If you watch this video and skip forward to 1:17 it will show you the relays and where they are. If you do not have them, you will need to get some. If that...

• Trailer Right Turn and Brake Light Circuit Stopped Working on a 2004 Nissan Armada
• On some Nissan vehicles like your 2004 Armada there are also relays and/or fuses inside the in-cab fuse panel so you will want to check those as well. Use the vehicle owners manual to find all locations of the fuses and relays related to the tow package wiring. I agree that it does sound like a fuse or relay. Checking fuses is easy but relays are trickier. Basically, the easiest way to test a relay is to use a known good relay in place of a potential bad one. The turn signal functions...

• Electric Jack EJ-3520-BBX Will Not Lift Trailer
• Since there isn't any type of rebuild kit or replacement gears for the Electric Jack # EJ-3520-BBX, let's try and troubleshoot first. What you'll want to do first is ensure the battery is fully charged that is powering it (which sounds simple but is something a lot of people simply overlook). Next, we often see that a poor ground connection can cause an issue with the jack, so ensure your ground is good, free of any corrosion, which may remedy the issue. This jacks grounds via its mounting...

• No Power to Trailer Wiring Harness # N40975 Installed on a 2011 Nissan Armada
• It is possible that the relays are not in the correct locations for wiring harness # N40975. Consult the owners manual for all of the locations and make sure they are in the right spots. On some Nissan vehicles an additional relay is needed next to the steering column under the dash. It will be a small blue relay. You can obtain the relay from the dealer or use one of the blue ones in kit # C57000.

• Why are Electric Brakes Getting Hot on 98 Coleman Camper After Installation of New Brake Assemblies
• It sounds to me as if there is one of three problems going on. The most likely problem is that the brake assembly on the right side is not properly adjusted. There is an access hole in the backing plate to insert a brake adjusting tool through and turn the adjuster in or out to properly adjust the trailer brakes. We have a video on trailer brake installation and at 4 minutes 40 seconds trailer brake adjustment is shown. Tighten up the brakes inside the drum until it stops turning. Then...

• Troubleshooting Dying Vehicle Batteries after Tekonsha Battery Charger Install
• There could be a number of issues could be causing the problem you are experiencing. Since you said your truck batteries were dead after only 2 minutes of the # 2024-07 being installed and the fact that when your truck is turned off there is no 12 volt supply to the charger I suspect that the problem is on your truck. You could have your battery and alternator tested at an auto parts store, most places will do that for free. Another option you have would be to remove the # 2024-07 and...

• 12 Volt Pin on 2013 Nissan Armada 7-Way Trailer Connector Does Not have Power
• It is possible that in addition to fuses there is a missing or blown relay that is associated with the 12 volt circuit on your 2013 Nissan Armada. If a relay is missing or blown that would explain why there isn't power on that circuit. Take a look at the video I have linked. The brown relay used activates the 12 volt circuit. If that relay is missing or blown then adding a new one will activate that circuit. We have that relay as part of a kit in part # C57000 but not by itself.

• 2006 Nissan Armada Requiring Additional Relay For Trailer Wiring
• Some models require a fourth relay, one of the blue relays from the Curt Relay Kit # 57000. It is installed under the dash on the left side of the steering column. There is a socket there to plug in the relay that will activate the tow package tail lights on the Armada, if it was not installed at the factory. Since you already installed the Relay Kit, part # C57000, adding this 4th relay should take care of the problem with the running lights.

• Troubleshooting Weak Signal/Signal Loss With A Furrion Vision S Camera System
• Avec les systèmes de caméra Furrion Vision S # FOS43TASF, la force du signal est directement liée à la tension qu'il reçoit. Il est fort probable que votre système reçoive juste assez pour s'allumer et s'associer un moment, mais partage ensuite la tension avec vos autres signaux de feux arrière. Pour vous assurer que la caméra reçoit constamment 12 volts, vous devrez installer le filtre PWM 12 V pour les systèmes de caméra de recul RV # VGR64VR. Ce filtre se raccordera au câblage derrière...
