Expert Answers about Nissan Titan


  • Does Weight Have to be On the Trailer When Setting Up CURT Weight Distribution for a Horse Trailer
  • The horses in this case, or cargo in other cases, does not have to be on or in the trailer to install and set up the CURT Trunnion Style Weight Distribution System, # 17302. Whether there is weight in the trailer or not, you want 5 links of chain for the spring bars to hang from. You may need more or less links to get the spring bars parallel with the trailer frame. Once you have the horses in the trailer you will be able to determine if anything needs to be adjusted. It is the same with...

  • Recommendation of Brake Controller for 2009 Nissan Titan to Activate Electric Brakes on Car Hauler
  • To operate the electric brakes on your trailer you will need to install a brake controller in your 2009 Nissan Titan XE. Our most popular brake controller that I would recommend is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. This is a proportional brake controller that will apply power to your trailers brakes in proportion to the vehicles braking. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Prodigy P2 brake controller. Since you have a factory tow package...

  • How to Activate Nissan Titan 7 Way Wiring Harness Using Factory 7 Way Kit # N40975
  • The # N40975 Trailer Wiring Kit will include detailed instructions on how to install this part and the associated relays. There is a relay panel under the hood, in the engine bay, by the battery on the passenger side. If you remove the cover you will see some open ports. Trailer Tow 1 is where the blue relay goes and Trailer Tow 2 is where the brown relay goes. I have included a video showing the installation of this harness below. Most likely, your current harness is missing the relays,...

  • How to Match Up Tow Vehicle and Trailer Wiring Functions
  • To match up wiring functions from your tow vehicle to your trailer I have attached some diagrams which show which functions are typically found on which pins. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2992 to compare your tow vehicle connector to the diagram and then a 12V battery to verify what wires are for your trailer functions. Ground the negative battery terminal and then use the positive battery terminal to apply power to each wire. Attached is a helpful article on trailer wiring...

  • Troubleshooting Brake Controller Installation On 2015 Nissan Titan
  • Your 2015 Nissan Titan requires the Factory Style 7-Way and 4-Way Flat Vehicle End Trailer Connector # N40975. You will need all 3 relays. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check for each function in your wiring connection. You should be getting a low power from your brake controller when checking that 5 o'clock pin and as you hit the manual override, you should get an increasingly brighter signal. The blue wire will get the ground it needs through the white wire...

  • Is Relay Required for Trailer Running Lights on 2015 Nissan Titan
  • If you have already installed the Curt Relay Kit # C57000 on your 2015 Nissan Titan, and are still having difficulty with the running lights on the trailer, then a 3rd blue relay will be needed to activate this function. Since we do not sell then separately, you would need another Kit # C57000, then you would heave extra relays left over. This relay should be located in the box under the driver-side dashboard, to the left of the steering column.

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2011 Nissan Titan
  • The ILL on your wire indicates it is for illumination so I would leave that one alone. The wire that is marked brk. sig. sounds like the brake signal that will connect to the red wire on your brake controller. I would test this with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 just to be sure.. The wire will only have power when the brake pedal is pressed. I'm assuming the other 3 wires you figured out are the white for ground, black for 12V power, and blue for brake output. One way or another, you...

  • Installation of 5th Wheel Rails and Hitch on 2017 Nissan Titan
  • For your 2017 Nissan Titan with 8 foot bed, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Nissan Titan - Carbide Finish # C16470-204. It will require you to drill 5 holes in your truck frame, but will also utilize other existing holes in your frame for a custom fit. I've attached the installation details to assist. This is not a difficult installation for someone comfortable with a tape measure and drill, but having the room under the truck to mover freely to drill makes...

  • Should There Be Space Between the Frame and Axle when Using the SuperSprings # SS95GR?
  • The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SS95GR is the exact same part as the SSR-621-47. Sometimes etrailer uses different part numbers than the manufacturer's part number. These springs are confirmed to fit your 2017 Nissan Titan SV. It is important to note, that when you install these SumoSprings, you need to remove the factory bump stops as outlined in the instructions. This is most likely causing the extra space between the axle and the frame. Once removed, there...

  • Does the Plug on the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale Need to be Perforated
  • The sticker you are looking at on the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale for Campers and Utility Trailers - 2,000-lb Capacity # e99044 can be ignored. This is for the installation of the gauge, but the gauge already comes installed. The only thing you need to do is follow the assembly instructions included with the scale.

  • How to Install 7-Way Trailer Connector N40975 On a 2004 Nissan Titan Without Tow Package
  • We do carry the wiring harness you need. For a 2004 Nissan Titan that does not have a towing package, you will need the Factory Style 7-Way and 4-Way Flat Vehicle End Trailer Connector, # N40975 that you have referenced. The harness comes with the required relays that activate the wiring harness. On your 2004, you will only need 2 of the relays.

  • Troubleshooting Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Not Working on 2010 Nissan Titan
  • Before you dig into the fuses are you testing the Prodigy P2, part # 90885, using the brake pedal or the manual override and is the truck moving or sitting still? You can't test a proportional brake controller like the P2 with the brake pedal unless the truck is moving. The manual override lever should work fine with the truck parked though. Assuming it's still not working with the manual override there are some relays to install if the 7-way isn't a factory connector. Part # C57000...

  • Where is the Brake Controller Adapter Plug on a 2021 Nissan Titan
  • We haven't installed a brake controller using an adapter like the Tekonsha # 3050-P on a 2021 Nissan Titan yet, but the plug you're looking for is typically located under/behind the driver's side dash panel to the left of the steering wheel and should be labeled "Electric Brake Connector". You may need to remove that dash panel if you can't access it by reaching up under the panel. I've linked a video of a brake controller installation on a 2015 Nissan Titan that uses the # 3050-P and...

  • We have a video from when we installed the Prodigy P2, part # 90885, on a 2015 Nissan Titan which is the same generation as your 2014 and the process is the same I've linked the video below. We used the install harness # 3050-P with the P2. If you have a different controller and need a harness let me know which model you have.

  • Brake Controller Installation on a Nissan Titan
  • Wiring a brake controller on a Nissan Titan is fairly straight forward and in most cases the factory has done much of the work for you. I would need the year of your vehicle to be sure but if you have a 2004 - 2010 Nissan Titan with factory 7-Way you would need a brake controller and a vehicle specific wiring harness for the Nissan. If you do not have a factory 7-Way installed at the rear of the vehicle you will also need the Factory Style 7-Way and 4-Way Flat Vehicle End Trailer Connector,...

  • Installing Voyager Brake Controller on 2008 Nissan Titan with Factory 5 Wire Brake Control Harness
  • Every now and then, a vehicle is made that has a brake controller wiring harness with 5 wires like on your 2008 Nissan Titan. All 5 wires are not necessary to allow the brake controller to function. On your truck, the red/green wire marked brk sig will attach to the brake controller red wire for the stop light. The black wire marked gnd is the ground and will attach to the brake controller white wire. The brown/white wire marked brk out will attach to the brake controller blue wire...
