  • Do Thule Lock Parts 853-5917 & 753-3725-02 Work Without a Lock Core Installed
  • The Thule Replacement Lock Housing # 753-3725-02 will not engage the Replacement Threaded Pin # 853-5917 until you install a Thule lock core # TH512. This kit includes two cores (so you have a spare) and also a Universal Control Key which is needed to install and remove the core.

  • Correct Thule Fairing Size for Use on 2010 Nissan Pathfinder Roof Rack
  • The two Thule square bar roof racks that fit your 2010 Nissan Pathfinder with factory installed rails that run front to back both use 50-inch square load bars. The recommended fairing size for these bars is Thule's 38-inch fairing # TH72WV which is shown in the linked video. The fairing will help to reduce wind-generated noise at higher speeds. It can be used either with or without the Thule logo facing forward.

  • Recommended LED 3rd Brake Light and Taillight Converter for Camper Trailer
  • To wire in a multi-diode 3rd brake light such as the 9-diode Optronics Thinline # STL59RB you will be better off using converter # 118158. Pacer Performance 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702 is for a single-LED light. Since you want only the brake light function I suggest using the single-function Optronics Streamline LED Trailer Third Brake Light # STL80RB instead of part # STL59RB. This 2-wire light grounds with the white wire and the red wire will connect to the red pigtail on...

  • Parts Needed to Install Electric Brake Controller on 2002 Nissan Pathfinder with 4-Way Connector
  • The electric brake controller I suggest is the Prodigy P3 # 90195. It's one of the most reliable controllers and is easy to use because of the LCD. To install a controller you'll need our # ETBC7 kit. This will include the 7-way trailer connector you need and everything for the brake controller. It'll use the 4-way connector you already have. It's very unlikely you'll need the # 10-2-1 extra wire but it's always s better to have too much than too little. The # ETBC7 kit includes 25...

  • Parts Needed to Charge Auxiliary Battery in 2018 Subaru Outback with Vehicle Battery
  • Most battery chargers that you'd be looking at are all AC to DC power, so you can't use them off a car battery. A way around this would be to install something like the Redarc Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC- 12 Amp # RED96FR, which will allow you to trickle charge your auxiliary battery through your car battery. I really like the BCDC since it gives you the ability to integrate a solar panel like part # 34273836 so you've got 2 different sources to charge...

  • What All is Needed to Tow a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL Behind a Motorhome
  • In order to tow your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL behind your RV you'll actually need to tow it using a tow dolly, otherwise you'll ruin the transmission. I checked with the online owner's manual for your vehicle and it states to only tow a 2WD 2017 Pathfinder using a tow dolly (front wheels on the dolly). From what I can find the SL version that you have is a 2WD so you are good to go there (if it was 4WD then you'd have to tow it on a trailer). For your application I highly recommend the...

  • Need Longer Hardware to Install X-Cargo Rooftop Cargo Box on 2003 Nissan Pathfinder Factory Bars
  • Thule offers replacement carriage bolts for its X-Cargo series of roof top boxes, including the 60-mm M6 bolt you referenced, part # TH04852. You do not mention how much additional length you need for installing the box on your 2003 Pathfinder's factory crossbars, but if the 60-mm length is not sufficient Thule also offers X-Cargo carriage bolts in a 75-mm length, part # TH915-0675-11.

  • Relay Needed for Installing Aftermarket Tow Package on 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
  • For the relay, you will want to use the Curt Relay Kit for Nissan Aftermarket Tow Package # C57000. The blue relays included in the # C57000 kit activate the turn signals and the brown relay activates the 12-volt power circuit. You will need the relay for your 2006 Nissan Pathfinder if it did not come equipped with a factory tow package.

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
  • In order to add a 7-Way trailer connector to your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder you will need a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. This will provide a 7-Way trailer connector at the back of the vehicle and all of the wiring to install a brake controller. A brake controller is needed in order to activate the trailer brakes. For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular models because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included...

  • Parts Needed to Change 4-Way on 2012 Nissan Pathfinder to 7-Way for Trailer
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Curt T-Connector # C55774 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit for your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder. If you just need the light functions to work on your trailer then what you will want to use is the Hopkins Adapter # 37185 which will convert your 4-Way to a 4-Way and 7-Way. If you are needing to utilize brakes on your trailer, which is common when they have a 7-Way, you will instead want to install the Tekonsha T-One # 118266. The black plug will...

  • Weight Distribution & Transmission Cooler for 2012 Nissan Pathfinder V6 Towing 4K-lb Travel Trailer
  • I reviewed the online edition of the owner's manual for your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder V6 and on page 9-21 it notes that the listed maximum towing capacity of 6000-lbs for the V6 presumes only a driver in the car. Additional passenger and cargo weight will reduce the towing capacity. You can estimate the total weight of the additional passengers and cargo to determine your net-available towing capacity. Since you have 2000-lbs more towing capacity than the trailer's actual gross weight you...

  • Recommended Bike Rack That Will Fit On My Yakima MegaWarrior Cargo Basket
  • When it comes to installing a bike rack on your Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080-82, you can use The Thule Tandem Roof Mounted Bike Rack # TH558P. To get it to work together you will also have to purchase The Replacement Movable Bar for Yakima Mega Warrior Basket # Y8870046. When the movable bar is attached to the rack that gives you an extra point when you can attach your bike rack to. I attached a review video link below.

  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Connector for 2021 Nissan Armada
  • Your 2021 Nissan Armada is already prewired for a 7-way and a brake controller. You'll just need a brake controller, a 7-way trailer connector and the relays needed to activate the tow package. For the 7-way, use part # N40975 which provides both a 4 pole and a 7-way. The connector will plug into the US Car connector located under the rear bumper, and includes the needed relays. You'll also need the # 18136 mounting bracket for the trailer connector. For a brake controller, I'd recommend...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way to 2010 Nissan Pathfinder LE With Factory 4-Way
  • You're on the right track with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C56226. However, you will use everything that comes with it when you replace the 4-way on your 2010 Nissan Pathfinder. This includes the wiring harness with the relays. Once installed, you will have a fully functioning 7-way that will allow you to use a brake controller. The Tekonsha P3 # 90195 is one of the most popular brake controllers around and is a great choice. It is also incredibly...

  • Recommended Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder
  • You are definitely on the right track when it comes to everything you need for towing with your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118 is a good idea to help with sag, but we always recommend using a weight distribution (WD) system for any trailer that weighs more than half of the curb weight (unloaded weight) of the tow vehicle. A WD system will help with sag because it distributes the total tongue weight (loaded tongue weight of the trailer and anything...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
  • If your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder has the factory tow package then the correct 7-way wiring harness kit is # 118273. This kit includes the required relays and connects to the vehicle behind the rear bumper. If you want a 4-pole harness or do not have a factory 7-way then the correct kit is # 118670 which also includes the relays and shares the same connection point under the bumper. Some Pathfinders without the tow package may not have the relay box in the back and so this might need to be...

  • Are Relays Needed to Install Hopkins Trailer Connector Socket HM40975 on 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The Hopkins 7-and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and will provide both a 4-Way and 7-Way connector at the rear of your vehicle. Since you have the factory pigtail and the needed two connectors hanging behind the rear bumper, you will not need to install additional relays for the 7 and 4-Way connectors to be fully functional. The relays on the Pathfinder will only be needed if you are going from a factory...
