• Curt Discovery Brake Controller Is Only Showing A Dot When Engaging Manual Override
• The Curt Discovery Trailer Brake Controller, # C84VV, should show only the decimal point dot when the controller is activated and a trailer is not connected. If it shows the dot all the time, the red wire is connected to the wrong side of the stop light switch or the wrong switch completely like the cruise control. If you have only the decimal point when the trailer is connected, the usual cause is that the brake controller does not sense the trailer brakes. This could be due to corrosion...

• The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56401 which is a fit for a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder requires fuses and relays for proper installation.

Please refer to the install instructions for specific locations. If you still have issues with the lights after checking all the fuses and relays you'll have to...

• Hardwiring a 4 to 7-Way Adapter to Install a Brake Controller on a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder
• The remaining 3 wires on the adapter you are using will need to be hardwired in. You will need to use some wire, # 10-2-1, about 20 feet (the wiring is sold in increments of 1 foot), and you will need a 40 amp circuit breaker # PK54540. On the adapter you should have a black wire and a blue wire that you can wire first. Use the duplex wire and attach the black to black and the white to blue. Then you will route the wiring under the vehicle towards the front. Be sure to avoid any hot or...

• Brake Controller Wiring on a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
• The blue wire coming from the 7 way at the rear would connect to the blue output wire coming from the brake controller. Typically this wire would run from the port under the dash to a location somewhere near the rear of the vehicle. Check the driver's side frame rail or behind the bumper for a blue wire that is not connected to anything. The black wire is for your 12V lead, and would run to a 12V power source via a 40 amp inline circuit breaker like part # 9510. The orange lead is either...

• How to Find the Brake Switch Stop Light Wire on a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
• I can tell you how to find the brake switch stop light wire on your 2006 Nissan Pathfinder. The brake switch is located above the brake pedal, under the dash. It will have numerous wires running into it. There will be any number of colors. There is a chance that the wire is red with a green stripe, but wire color is not an exact science, and manufacturers might up and change the color in the middle of a model year. Since I cannot say what color the wire you need will for sure, you can find...

• Parts Needed To Install Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller # 90885 on 2008 Nissan Pathfinder SE
• Since your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder SE did not come with a factory 7-way connector, you will not utilize the Tekonsha Wire Adapter, part # 3050-P. You would need to order the Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885, and the Brake Controller 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. The # ETBC7 includes all the wiring and connectors needed for installation of the brake controller. To install, you begin by plugging in your existing 4-way to the 4-way on part # ETBC7.

• Does a Trailer Hitch Provide Additional Protection in the Event of a Crash
• I would imagine that installing a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # 76031 or Curt # C13126 on your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder would help minimize damage to your vehicle in the event of someone rear-ending you (as opposed to not having one), but this isn't something that is tested for and rated on the trailer hitch so I can't really say that it does. Ultimately it will add some rigidity, but it could also potentially interfere with crumple points. If you are debating between the Draw-Tite...

• When using the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs part # AL60810 which are a confirmed fit for your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder with the supplied t fitting, the system has a maximum psi capacity of 35.

• 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller Install on 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
• All 2020 Nissan Pathfinders come from the factory prewired for a brake controller and a 7-way trailer connector, though it might lack the 7-way and the relays needed to activate the tow package.

• How To Install Item # 118281 On 2010 Nissan Pathfinder
• The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector Item # 118281 is the correct harness for your 2010 Nissan Pathfinder. The plug behind the passenger side kick panel can be difficult to locate because of the bundle of wires in that small area. You may have to pull wires out of the way, just be careful not to pull on them so hard you damage them where they are going into the factory plugs. It may be possible that it is taped to other wires, tucked on the backside. As far as...

• Why Doesn't Hitch Pin on Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Lock In Place
• The AutoAttach pin on the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 is essentially just a guide for ensuring that the shank of the rack is far enough into the hitch receiver that the rack is secured. Once the AutoAttach system is lined up with the hitch pin hole and it snaps in place then you use the anti-rattle knob to expand the shank to take all of the wobble out of the rack. The anti-rattle knob can then be locked which prevents the bike rack from being removed even if that AutoAttach...
