The first thing to do is test the trailer connector on your 2006 Nissan Murano. You will need a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. Turn on the running lights on the Murano and then test the connector. If there is no power on the taillight circuit, then the issue is on the vehicle side.
On Nissan vehicles, there are often times some relays that need to be installed under the hood to make the tow package wiring functional. But there is also one that needs to be installed in the fuse panel... view full answer...
First I suggest you test the output from the 4-pole flat connector to verify normal operation of the module. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 to do this testing. The video shows how to use it.
Disconnect your trailer, ground the tester to the vehicle, and test each pin one at a time. The pin for the yellow wire should carry an intermittent (blinking) left turn signal when the Murano left turn signal is engaged. The green should carry an intermittent right turn signal when it... view full answer...
An insufficient ground could cause the trailer lights or select trailer lights to not work. The trailer should not have to be hitched up to the vehicle for the lights to work. If it does then that indicates a ground problem.
Make sure the Curt wiring harness # 55571 is ground to a clean bare metal surface. There can be no paint or corrosion. It also works best when grounded by itself.

What you can do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires going into the converter box for power. Then, test the wires coming out of the converter box for power, if the wires coming out of the box do not have power, then the box is bad and will need to be replaced.
In addition to testing the wires going in and out of the converter box, I would check over the power connection and also make sure that the T-connectors are snapped all the way in the taillights. view full answer...
It sounds like there is a bad ground connection somewhere. The first thing to check would be the converter for the wiring harness # 118653. Make sure that it is grounded to a clean metal surface. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to test the wires going into the converter for the proper signals. If they are not correct then there is a problem with the connections to the vehicle such as a bent pin, or a problem with the vehicle wiring.
If the signals are correct going into the... view full answer...
What you will want to do is unplug the trailer and them use a circuit tester such as # PTW2992 to test the connector on the vehicle side. Have someone sit in the Murano and go through each of the light functions while you test the trailer connector. (I have included a link to the right that should also help.)
If the vehicle side connector does not have power on the brake light and turn signal pins, then the problem is on the vehicle. Make sure that the harness is grounded to a clean metal... view full answer...
You will not need to install any relays on your 2016 Nissan Murano for the Curt T-Connector # C56267 or the Tekonsha T-One # 118660 to activate the lights on your trailer.
It sounds like you have an issue with the wiring on your trailer, not your Murano. You can confirm this by using a Circuit Tester, like part # PTW2993, to test the 4-Pole connector on your Murano and using a 12V power source, like your Murano's battery, to test the 4-Pole connector on your trailer side. You can also... view full answer...
It sounds like the converter box on your trailer wire harness is bad and you harness just needs to be replaced. This is pretty normal over time so before you waste money having someone else retest everything and then charge you for a new harness you can just order one yourself. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118653. This harness comes with plug in connectors for your 2011 Nissan Murano to make installation fast and easy. The Tekonsha brand... view full answer...
Actually the fuse for the # JET-3555 that you would need to check is on the red wire in the fuse holder.
If you follow the red power wire, you'll locate the fuse holder which is installed inline on the wire. The jack uses a 30 amp fuse. Check your connections to the trailer mounted battery, to ensure everything's connected correctly. If the jack is powered by the 12-volt accessory circuit from the trailer connector, use a circuit tester on the pin in the 1:00 position in the 7-way connector... view full answer...
I would first use a circuit tester like part # 3808 to test the T-One # 118653 on your 2014 Nissan Murano. If you are showing that the 4-Way is sending the signals then the problem is on your trailer side.
Look for loose grounds and damaged wiring and replace as necessary. Your grounds should be secure and connected to a clean, bare-metal surface to avoid shorting out.
Let me know if you are still experiencing problems and I can help you troubleshoot further. I have also attached a troubleshooting... view full answer...
4-pole trailer wiring does use a standardized format, which has running/clearance light signals on the brown wire, and combined right stop/turn light signals on the green wire and combined left stop/turn signals on the yellow wire. The linked article on trailer wiring shows the various wiring connectors in use on trailers and the functions on each wire/pin.
If the trailer was re-wired it is possible that replacement wire of a different color was used. This is why it is generally best to... view full answer...
The fuse for the CURT Trailer Wiring Harness, # 55571, would blow if there was excessive power draw trying to go through it. But not if power was going through the other way for some reason (backfeeding). Make sure the shop is installing the fuse and that it is going into the correct place on your 2004 Nissan Murano. I think you are correct about the exposed wire on the trailer.
I would start with the tail light assemblies and make sure that there are no loose wires, broken connections,... view full answer...
There are a few possible reasons why the trailer running lights aren't working with the connector on your 2006 Nissan Murano.
It sounds like you may have already done this, but if not, I recommend starting by testing the connector itself on your Murano with a circuit tester like # PTW2993. Test the running lights pin on the connector with this function activated on the vehicle to see if you get power there. If you don't get power, you at least know the issue is somewhere on the vehicle.... view full answer...
