Expert Answers about Nissan Pathfinder


  • Lock and Keys Broken Off in Yakima Skybox 16
  • Because all Yakima products use lock cores for the Same Key System, any Yakima lock core will work. In order to replace the lock cores you will need to get the broken keys out of the locks. Once you've gotten the broken keys out, then use the Control Key for your Yakima Same Key System to remove the locks- if you've lost your Control Key, a replacement can be obtained by purchasing a new set of lock cores like the # Y07202. Once you've accomplished this, you will be able to switch them...

  • Trailer Connector Not Working on 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The Hopkins wiring harness you purchased for your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is for models that came with a factory tow package. Since your harness is not working the vehicle probably does not have the factory tow package so it is missing some key components. Using trailer wiring harness # 118670 will provide these missing components and allow the trailer wiring harness to work. The jumper harness installs in the rear most part of the Pathfinder under the floor. I have linked the instructions...

  • Troubleshooting Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights that Dont Want to Power On
  • In order for the # C6304 to function you would need to make sure that the batteries are installed properly in the light kit as well as make sure the power switch is turned on. This switch is at the bottom of one of the lights in a recessed opening. Check out the video I attached that covers everything on these lights if you have further questions. Or you can email me back if you are still having troubles.

  • Trailer Brake and Turn Signals Not Working when Connected to 2008 Nissan Pathfinder with Tow Package
  • Since the factory trailer connector on your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder was working before it is likely a blown fuse or a relay that is causing the problem. These can be found under the hood in a panel behind the battery. I linked a video that will also help. The smaller relays are for the turn signals you can also check the fuses using the legend on the fuse panel lids. (There is a second panel inside the cab of the vehicle you can also check.) If you need and relays we have a kit, # C57000,...

  • Troubleshooting 4-Way Connector on 2010 Nissan Pathfinder Not Working
  • You can first try pulling the relays that you mentioned on your 2010 Nissan Pathfinder and replacing them to see if that fixes your problem. You can do so with the Curt Relay Kit # C57000 (some Nissan vehicles will require a 3rd blue relay like the one in the # C57000 kit). If that fixes it then you are good to go. If not, then I recommend installing the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # HM43575 which will simply replace your current 4-Way. You will uninstall...

  • AirLift Coil Spring Air Bag Installation on 2004 Nissan Pathfinder SE
  • The AirLift 1000 Rear Axle Air Helper Spring Kit # AL60742 is a confirmed fit on the 2004 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4WD. If a spring has developed a puncture/leak you will want to check your installation and also to ensure that you always maintain the minimum 5-psi pressure and do not exceed the 35-psi maximum. Also, check that there is no sharp edge from where you cut off the OEM jounce spring that could have damaged the air bag. This is noted in step 4 of the linked instructions. If you do...

  • Running Lights Stopped Working on a Trailer Towed by a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder with Tow Package
  • It sounds like you may have a ground problem either on the trailer, on the Pathfinder, or both. A ground problem can cause the lights not to work properly. It can appear suddenly or gradually, and appears usually when the system is under load (running lights are on). First, make sure that the trailer side and vehicle side connectors are free of dirt and corrosion inside and in the backs of the plugs. You can then use a a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to make sure the 7-Way has...

  • Trailer Turn and Brake Lights Not Working with 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
  • Your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder does require a couple of blue relays to be installed to fully activate the tow package so that the turn/brake signal lights work on the trailer when connected. The relay harness on your Pathfinder gets plugged into a factory port at the rear of the vehicle behind some paneling on the driver side. I have attached an installation video that you can use for reference where we use the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118670, which includes the needed relays. The...

  • 2007 Nissan Pathfinder 7 Pole Wiring Installation
  • The wiring connector you are looking for to plug in the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector part # 118266 is located behind a kick panel on the front passengers side floorboard. There is a larger plastic nut to remove then you can pull out on the panel to remove it. The connector will be on the upper side of all the wiring there just in behind it. Check out the video my buddy Rob did on a 2008 Frontier below. The location is identical on where you will find the...

  • 12 Volt Warning Lights Stays on After Install 4 to 7-Way Converter on a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
  • First we need to determine why that light is coming on in the first place. If it is coming on after you have installed adapter # C57674 then there is either a draw on the circuit or the vehicle thinks there is. Normally this is caused by a dirty trailer connector or corrosion but since it is a new installation that does not seem likely. The 12 volt power wire (black) is supposed to be installed via a 40 amp circuit breaker, # PK54540. If connected directly to the battery, that may be...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Connection on 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The Replacement Wiring Harness for Tow Ready Nissan Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118267 is a fit for your vehicle. The brake wire should not be hot and the 12V wire should be, so I believe you have the switched wires you were referring to. Regarding your right hand brake and turn signal, it sounds like you are not getting power from your connection. This often is simply a bent pin at the connector. I recommend checking that and then putting your tester on that function at the connection...

  • Troubleshooting Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter That Wont Fit on 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
  • It looks like you've got the correct harness and we haven't seen any issues like this, but I can definitely help you out there. What I would do, on the factory plug that you've got, is take a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 and apply it to the each of the pins. You should have one pin that is constantly supplying power and one that is hot only when the brake pedal is pressed. I would start there and see what you come up with, just to make sure that you have the correct plug. We have...

  • Tekonsha # TK90160 Brake Controller NC or OC Error Message on 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
  • If you find significant corrosion you may need to replace the connector with # HM40975 for the vehicle wiring or # H20042 for the trailer end. However, if cleaning the 7 way connector on your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't correct the errors then it's likely that you have a short on the electric brake circuit or there is a problem with the brake magnets themselves. What we first want to do is isolate either the vehicle or the trailer as the source of the problem. Using a circuit tester...

  • Troubleshooting Mushy Rear Suspension on a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder With Air Lift Air Bags
  • The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60810 for the rear suspension on your 2005 Nissan Pathfinder have a maximum air pressure rating of 35psi. This should not be exceeded or it will likely cause damage to the air bags and could also damage part of the suspension system. With the suspension feeling mushy without additional weight you should have the springs and shocks checked out to ensure they are functioning properly with no damage to the mounts.

  • Troubleshooting a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder that the Trailer Wiring Blinkers/Stop Circuit Isnt Working
  • First thing you need to do is determine if the problem is on the trailer wiring or your vehicle wiring. To do that you will need to test the circuits of your 4-way on your 2004 Nissan Pathfinder with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to check if the blinker signals are making it to your vehicle 7-way. Check out the video I attached that details how this is done. If its on the vehicle side it sounds like you are missing a couple relays. There is a relay box under the dash on the driver-side...

  • Brake Controller Shows N.C. when Trailer is Connected to 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
  • It is possible that there is a blow fuse or relay related to the tow package wiring on your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. Use the vehicle owner's manual to find the locations of the fuses/relays to check them. It very well could be a loose or missing connection. The blue wire on the brake controller sends back voltage to the trailer brakes and to check for a connected trailer. What you can do is use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the brake output pin on the 7-Way while someone fully...

  • Left Trailer Brake Light Does Not Work on New Trailer Towed by 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The first thing you are going to want to do is test the 7-Way on the Pathfinder using a circuit tester like # PTW2979 if needed. The pins in the 3:00 and 9:00 positions are the turn signal/brake light pins. Have someone engage the left and right turn signals and then the brakes, 1 at a time, while you test with a circuit tester. If all of the functions are correct on the 7-Way then that indicates a problem on the trailer. If the signals are not correct on the 7-Way then you may have a...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring on 2016 Nissan Pathfinder After Trailer Side Wiring Short
  • Since you have already tried replacing all the relays in the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118273 on your 2016 Nissan Pathfinder, and you've replaced the running light fuse, it sound like you may have another fuse that needs replacing or have wiring that has overloaded somewhere. I've checked your owners manual and cannot see any fuse locations listed there, so I can't give you a location to look at. If the other fuses are all good,...

  • Troubleshooting a Redarc Tow Pro Elite Brake Controller That's Short Circuiting
  • To fix a short circuit on your Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED39FR you'll need to look for any wires that appear to be broken or damaged as this is what would likely cause the wiring to short. Then I recommend checking the 12-volt black power wire to see if anywhere from the controller to the battery the wire is frayed and touching any metal. It also wouldn't hurt checking to make sure the white ground wire is grounded correctly and not...
