Expert Answers about Nissan Armada


  • 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...

  • 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...

  • No Power to Left Turn Signal/Brake Light Pin on 2015 Nissan Armada Trailer Connector
  • It sounds like there is either a tow package fuse that is blown or missing or a tow package relay that is bad or missing. Your Armada has fuse panels under the hood and in the cab on the passengers side. Check the lids of these panels for the fuse and relay locations. If it is a relay then you could use # C57000.

  • Everything Works Except Trailer Running Lights After Wiring is Installed on a 2006 Nissan Armada
  • I thought this one over for a while and could not come up with a definite solution. I asked our installer and he has not had the opportunity to install a harness on this vehicle yet. I then jumped on the internet and found a couple of interesting notes on the 2006 Armada. Apparently 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...

  • 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.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Suspension Sag Causing the Equalizers to Pitch Forward
  • The first thing to check is that the boat is loaded properly on the trailer. If there is significantly more weight on one of the trailer axles you will need to adjust the cargo in the boat or the way the boat is loaded on the trailer to get the proper amount of tongue weight and even out the load over the trailer axles. You will most likely find that the weight of the boat is centered too far forward and that moving cargo or positioning the boat slightly rearward on the trailer will increase...

  • Trailer and Vehicle Lights Coming On and Staying On When Towing with a 2005 Nissan Armada
  • Considering that when you jiggled the wires it temporarily fixed the problem could mean that there is just a loose connection somewhere. It could be in the harness that connects the Prodigy to your 2005 Nissan Armada, or in the port it plugs into. You could try a new adapter wiring harness, # 3050-P, instead of a whole new brake controller.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Ground Issue on a 1995 Ford F-250
  • What you are describing sounds very much like a ground issue. The trailer lighting functions work properly until the running lights are used. When the running/clearance lights are activated, full amperage is drawn through the system which is when a problem like this will show itself. Typically, the problem is usually found either at the point where the ground wire from the trailer connector grounds to the trailer frame, or at the physical connection between the lamp and the trailer frame....

  • 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 Non-Working Trailer Running Lights With A 2010 Nissan Armada
  • If you're getting power to your brake and turn signal pins on the 7-way of your 2010 Nissan Armada but not the running light pin then you most likely need to check your trailer running light fuse. The fuse block located in your engine compartment will have a diagram molded into the cover or on a sticker to tell you which fuse is which. You'll need to locate the fuse and pull it to check if it's blown and then replace it. Let me know what you find and we can keep troubleshooting if the...

  • Troubleshooting Running Lights on Trailer Towed by 2014 Nissan Armada
  • Most of the time, when trailer running lights do not work but all other lights do work properly the cause is a weak ground connection. Since running lights stay on continuously, unlike stop/turn lights, they draw more current and a weak ground may allow the other functions to operate correctly but not pass enough continuous current for the running lights. The fix is simple in this case. Find your trailer's main ground wire (and do the same thing on the wiring harness on the Armada) and...

  • Trailer Turn Signals and Brake Lights Not Working with a 2005 Nissan Armada
  • I tried to find the fuse/relays locations in the 2005 Nissan Armada owner's manual but that information is not present. If you check the lids for the in-cab fuse panel and power distribution box under the hood that should tell you all of the locations related to tow package wiring. Most Nissans need at least 3 relays for the wiring to work: 1 for running lights and 2 for the turn signals/brake lights. It sounds like you need 2 of blue relay # C57000 installed under the hood. Take a look...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.
