Installation of Trailier Lighting Connector on a 2009 Nissan Quest
Your 2009 Nissan Quest requires a powered converter to protect the vehicles sensitive circuitry form possible overload or shorts. There is a gray power connection in the rear of the vehicle near the taillight connections on the drivers side which will supply power to the trailer taillights. This power wire eliminates the amperage draw on the vehicles taillight system. The best method for installing trailer lighting is to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector...

Bike Rack for a 1994 Nissan Quest
Thule, the manufacturer of these bike racks, doesn't recommend the use of a 3 bike carrier on your vehicle. The Thule Speedway Trunk Mounted 2 Bike Carrier would work on your 1994 Quest. If there is a specific vehicle that you are planning on purchasing, I can check the fit on that one, if you'd like. Your other option is to use a hitch mounted 3 bike rack. The hitch would be sold separately. Just make sure you choose the correct rack for the hitch class.

In What Order Should You Load Bikes On The Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack
You always want to load the heavier of your 2 bikes first and closet to the vehicle on the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack # S64671 or any other hitch mounted bike rack. This will keep the weight as close to the vehicle as possible and reduce the leverage effect which can cause some damage to the receiver or bike rack.

Troubleshooting Trailer Hitch That Does Not Line Up to Bolt Holes on Nissan Quest
The issue you described when trying to install the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 75714 on your Nissan Quest actually isn't terribly uncommon. Because trailer hitch mounting brackets are made from mild steel (which allows them to flex with the vehicle's frame during travel) the hitch can sometimes bend/flex during the shipping process. The bend can be just enough to prevent the brackets from lining up perfectly with existing holes on the vehicle's frame. There are a few different...

More Reliable Trailer Wiring Harness for 2016 Nissan Quest
Sounds like the harness is getting overdrawn by your trailer wiring which is shorting it out and causing it to fail and then also causing the lights on the vehicle to stay on. Does the trailer have a lot of lights on it? We don't have the best luck with Curt trailer wiring kits so I would recommend the Hopkins kit # HM11143674 instead for your 2016 Nissan Quest.

Trailer Turn Signals Only Work if Running Lights and Brake Lights are On, 2007 Nissan Quest
This could be a ground problem. A bad ground connection can cause all sorts of problems. First check the trailer connectors on the vehicle and on the trailer for any dirt or corrosion and clean them out. Corrosion can also build up behind the connectors where the wires attach. On the vehicle side, make sure that the main ground is attached to a clean bare metal surface on the frame. On the trailer side connector, again make sure that the main ground is attached to a clean metal surface. Use...

Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Electric E-Bikes
The only bike racks we carry that can handle the weight of a 57 lb e-bike would be a hitch mounted option. Like you have noticed, the trunk mounted bike racks have lower capacities. The reason for this is that if you put too much weight on a trunk rack you would most likely damage the rear of a vehicle. So the only recommendation I can make starts with you getting a hitch. For that you would want the Curt Hitch part # C13563. Then for a platform bike rack specifically designed to work...

Recommended Solution to Fight Sag on Nissan Quest with Coil Springs When Carrying Motorcycle
The tongue weight (or hitch weight) is the maximum amount of weight that the frame of the vehicle can withstand without being damaged. You'll also always be limited to the lowest rated component in your towing setup, so even if your hitch says maximum 500-lbs tongue weight, but the vehicle is only rated for 350-lbs (which my research indicated), you will be limited to that 350-lbs. This means that any carrier and motorcycle must have a combined weight of less than 350-lbs. When it comes...

Solution for Needing to Power Trailer Wiring Converter Box and 12 Volt Accessory Circuit of 7-Way
You would not be able to share the power wire of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56342 for also powering the 12 volt accessory of a 7-way like the part # 37185. But I have a similar solution that would be just as easy. Instead you'd want to run the double bonded wire part # 10-2-1 (sold by the foot) to the battery of the vehicle and then attach both leads to the battery post and you'll essentially have run "one" wire to power both the converter of the 4-way and the 12 volt...
