Since you now use the 2014 Nissan Titan to tow the trailer you will want to go back and set up the weight distribution again as if it were the first time. Different vehicles react differently to weight distribution and you may need to make a few adjustments and do some fine tuning so that the truck and trailer are level when towing.
If you don't still have the installation instructions/manual for your system you can use the one I have linked for you. Once you have gone back and set it... view full answer...
The first thing I would recommend you do is use a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, and check your trailer connector on the bumper of your truck. Activate the turn signals and check the appropriate pins for a signal. Then have a helper step on the brake pedal and test for a signal at the 2 pins for the left and right turn signal. If you do not show a signal for any of these functions, you probably have a blown fuse.
Consult the vehicle owner manual for the location of the fuses that... view full answer...
It is possible that you are missing the fuse or relay that installs in the in-cab fuse block. This relay you can get from a Nissan dealer. Use your owner's manual to find the locations of all fuses/relays associated with the tow package wiring to first make sure they are present and to make sure they are working.
If all of the fuses and relays are in place you could still have a bad relay and not know it. The best way to check a relay is to insert a known working one in place of a suspected... view full answer...
This does sound like a bad or missing relay. You can test the 7-Way connector without the trailer attached to see if you get any signal at all on the turn signal/brake light circuit. If you do get a signal but the lights are not working on the trailer, it could be that the extra load from the trailer lights is not allowing them to function properly. No signal would indicate a problem further up, most likely a blown fuse or relay.
The 2004 Nissan Titan should only need 2 relays out of the... view full answer...
There are some things you can check to determine what the problem is. First, in the vehicle and trailer side connectors, check for any dirt or corrosion that may be causing a bad connection and clean it out.
If the trailer has a lot of lights that use the running light circuit, it could be too much power draw for the system and the wiring on the vehicle is not allowing it to draw power. Use a circuit tester like # 3808 to test the 7-Way without the trailer connected to see if the running... view full answer...
This sounds like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 output wire is not making the connection to the trailer on your 2017 Nissan Titan. I would check that the ends of the Pigtail # 3050-P on your brake controller have not pushed out of their connections. You can do this visually but the best way is to follow the wire with a Test Light # PTW2992.
When you apply your brakes the blue wire in the pigtail should receive power. You can use the test light to follow the wire... view full answer...
On some Nissan vehicles there is an additional relay needed in the in-cab fuse panel inside the vehicle. You will need to consult the vehicle owner's manual for all of the fuse and relay locations related to trailer wiring. The extra relay can be obtained at a Nissan dealer.
The first thing I would check though is for voltage on the trailer connector, this will tell you if the problem is on the trailer or vehicle side of the equation. Check out the video I attached that shows how this... view full answer...
It sounds like the trailer wiring running light fuse may be blown. This fuse is located in a power distribution box under the hood at the rear of the drivers side of the 2010 Nissan Titan. Once the fuse box is located check the legend on the lid to determine the correct fuse to check.
If this does not solve the issue, let me know, I will be glad to look into the issue further. view full answer...
On your 2005 Nissan Titan if you have the factory 7-way, you should have been able to simply install the Factory Style 7-Way and 4-Way Flat Vehicle End Trailer Connector # N40975 and then add the brake controller wiring harness # 3050-P and brake controller like # 90195. I've attached some videos to assist.
If you didn't have the factory 7-way, then you need a powered converter like # C59496 to give you a 4-way and then the # ETBC7 Kit to help finish your hardwiring. I don't believe... view full answer...
That is certainly odd. There should be no time delay when using a proportional controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. The first thing I recommend doing is taking a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 and testing the red wire behind the brake controller. It should be getting power immediately when the brakes are applied.
Also check your gain setting. Try turning the gain all the way up and seeing if you still detect a delay. Also check that your manual override is working correctly.... view full answer...
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.
Since you said you have all of the correct relays this is the most likely explanation. It is also possible that you have a bad relay. You can try swapping a known working relay from a different circuit into the right stop/turn circuit to see if that causes the circuit to work. view full answer...
Yes, your smart phone can be used like normal to place calls and take pictures when also using the Curt Echo part # C51180. The brake controller app would basically just keep working in the background when doing so. view full answer...
The first thing I would do is check for voltage at the trailer connector on your 2004 Nissan Titan. You could use a circuit tester like our part #PTW2993 to test for the correct voltage on the trailer connector. Check out the video I attached that shows how this is done. If the voltage is good, then you know the problem is in the trailer and not your 2004 Nissan Titan.
What you can do is check the trailer side and vehicle side trailer connectors. You will want to look for any dirt or corrosion... view full answer...
Thank you for all of the information regarding your towing setup. While we do have suspension enhancement for your 2017 Nissan Titan, you are going to see the most direct benefit by ensuring that your trailer has a tongue weight (TW) that is 10-15% of the weight of the loaded trailer and that your weight distribution (WD) system is set up properly.
I recommend using a scale like part # e99044 for the tongue weight and then seeing if bolt-on brackets like the Curt # C17005 or Reese # RP58305... view full answer...
The first thing you will need to do is determine if the problem is on the truck or the trailer. Start by disconnecting the trailer and using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to test the trailer connector on the vehicle. Have someone sit in the vehicle cab and go through each function while you test the pins on the trailer connector with the circuit tester. You can use our wiring FAQ article as a guide to what the functions should be, see link.

If the electric frailer brakes are not fully releasing after taking your foot off of the brake pedal, then there are a couple of things you can check. The easiest thing to check is going to be the vehicle and trailer side connectors.
Make sure that the trailer connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. Corrosion can cause a short which would draw power to the brake magnets.
You also need to make sure that the brake controller is behaving as it should. What you can do... view full answer...
The Tow Ready Replacement Multi-Tow 7-Way & 4 Pole Trailer Connector # 74682 that you referenced is intended for the Nissan Titan that is equipped with the factory tow package. If your Titan came from the factory with the tow package it should have the necessary relays and fuses in place to activate the trailer harness.
If only some functions work, but not others such as the left turn light for the trailer, then there may be corrosion on the connector. I suggest you use a circuit tester... view full answer...
The pin on your Titan's 7-way trailer socket that should carry the 12V power feed for your trailer is the pin located at the 1-o-clock position as you view the socket. Please refer to the linked photo that I have prepared for you.
If you have no power on this pin after installing # N40975 you can check the fuse panel in the engine compartment. Look for any fuse locations labeled trailer or tow and install or replace the required fuse value.
However, there are some cases where an additional... view full answer...
The two blue relays are used to activate the turn signals and the brown relay is for the 12-volt circuit. You would need to consult the vehicle owner's manual to determine if there are additional relays, whether under the hood or in the in-cab panel, that control the other functions. Some Nissan vehicles do require an additional relay, obtained from the dealer, to make the trailer wiring harness fully functional.
To determine if the issue is on the truck or trailer what you can do is disconnect... view full answer...
It is very possible that a relay for the running light tow package wiring is not functioning or is missing. What can happen sometimes is if the relay is not there, only some power can get sent back to the trailer but a full load will not work. This could be why the lights blink when you lock the truck with the key fob but do not work when constant power is applied.
The 2004 and 2005 Nissan Titan trucks only require two relays. The relays in questions are included with the Hopkins trailer... view full answer...
