Expert Answers about Nissan Xterra


  • Vehicle Wiring Harness 4-Way Flat for 2007 Nissan Xterra Relays and Pigtail
  • At this time we do not have the relays and wiring connector sold separately for the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56225. This part is required for the 4-way flat trailer connector to function if your 2007 Nissan Xterra came from the factory without the connector and relays. The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # HM43575 that you ordered requires the relays and pigtail as well. As we do not have it separately you can contact a local Nissan dealer...

  • Parts Needed To Wire Redarc Trailer Brake Controller To a 2010 Nissan Xterra
  • To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR in your 2010 Nissan Xterra you will first need to determine how the 7-way connector that you have on your vehicle is wired. If it connects to the factory connectors already on the back of your Xterra like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118266, then you will only need the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED39FR. For a universal style 7-way that does not connect to the factory connectors you will either need to replace...

  • Hitch and Towing Components Needed for a 2014 Nissan Xterra
  • All of the trailer hitches offered for your 2014 Nissan Xterra are of the 2-inch Class III variety and the Curt hitch you referenced, part # 13514, is indeed a correct fit for your vehicle and is the most popular hitch among owners of the Xterra. You will, as you noted, need some additional items to enable towing a trailer: a ball mount, hitch ball, pin and clip. We offer a handy all-inclusive kit # 989900 that gives you everything. For your Xterra we offer wiring harness # C56225 which...

  • Are Pigtails Available from the Tow Ready Part # 118267 for a 2010 Nissan Xterra
  • The Replacement Wiring Harness # 118267 is actually a piece of a few different wiring combinations for your 2010 Nissan Xterra (like part # 118266 for example). This is a whole wiring harness and unfortunately isn't offered in pigtails so you will need to get the whole kit. On the bright side you will be getting a whole new wiring harness with a brand new 7-Way connector from one of our most reliable wiring manufacturers so you know it will last.

  • Replacement Brakes and Bearings Kit for 2004 Fleetwood Sequoia
  • From my research I'm guessing your 2004 Fleetwood Sequoia has a 3,500 pound axle and uses bearings # L68149 and # L44649. You'll want to verify your bearing numbers to be sure. If the bearings are correct the kit you need is # BK2-100. Or if you want hubs as well use # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if you have E-Z Lube axles that have a zerk fitting or # AKHD-545-35-K for standard axles. The hubs have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern which you'll need to make sure is matches your trailer. The brakes will...

  • What 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter Fits My 2010 Nissan Xterra?
  • Yes! If you are planning to use a 7-wire trailer with your 4-way plug on your 2010 Nissan Xterra, you need the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector # 30717. However, it is important to note that this harness will not give you brake controller prep on the trailer. In order to have a brake controller, you need to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118266. It is important to note that this harness replaces your existing 4-way while you...

  • Parts Needed to Install an Electric Brake Controller in a 2010 Nissan Xterra
  • Since you already have the Curt 7-Way T-Connector, part # C56226, and it plugged right into the round connector on your 2010 Nissan Xterra you likely have the electric brake controller connector under the dash. Look under your dash for a connector that the wiring harness, part # C51382, plugs into. It's likely located to the left of the steering column, and possibly taped to another harness. If you have this connector then the # C51382 harness is all you need to install the Curt Reflex...

  • How to Determine if a 2009 Nissan Xterra has a Factory Tow Package to Add Trailer Wiring
  • The easiest and definitive way to determine if your 2009 Nissan Xterra has a factory tow package is to give the VIN to a dealership and have them determine what options it came with from the factory. Another way would be to use a circuit tester, like # PTW2993 if needed, and test the factory connection point under the vehicle. It should show signals when the brakes are applied, lights are turned on, and turn signals engaged. However, even if it shows signals, it does not necessarily...

  • We have exactly what you are looking for. The Tail Light Isolating Diode System with Wiring Harness, part # 38955, is used when you want the towed vehicle lighting system to work with the tow vehicle. There is also a video on how to install the kit that I have linked below.

  • What is Needed for a Complete Tow Package for 2005 Nissan Xterra 4wd
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13514. The class III hitch has a 2-inch receiver, 4000-pound towing and 400-pound tongue weight capacity and bolts onto your Xterra's frame with no welding required. You will also need a wiring harness. Which harness you require depends on whether your vehicle comes with a factory 7-way connector, a factory 4-way connector or without a factory 7-way or 4-way connector. If your vehicle comes with a factory 7-way connector, you will need part # 118266. To...

  • 4-Pole Flat Trailer Wiring Harness for 2003 Nissan Xterra Without Factory Harness
  • We can help you! We do offer several options in 4-pole trailer wiring harnesses to fit your 2003 Nissan Xterra that did not come from the factory with one in place. All can be seen on the link provided. The Curt # C59236 is a good choice for its high current capacity. Each will require a bit of wire splicing and I have linked a video showing harness installation in a different Nissan vehicle. No matter which harness you choose the installation process will be essentially identical. I...

  • Adding a Brake Controller to a 2006 Nissan Xterra with 4-Way Trailer Connector
  • If your 2006 Nissan Xterra came with a factory 4-Way trailer connector then you might be able to use harness # 118266 to add a 7-Way. Then you would use brake controller wiring harness # 3050-P to plug in your P3 brake controller # 90195. However, it is possible that not all the wiring is present from the front of the vehicle to the rear to install the 7-Way and/or brake controller. The safe bet is to use installation kit # ETBC7 only and not the 118266 or 3050-P. The ETBC7 will allow...

  • Which 4-Way Wiring Harness for 2005 Nissan Xterra SE Wiring
  • To find the correct wiring harness for your 2005 Nissan Xterra, you would need to know whether or not the vehicle has a tow package installed. To find this out for certain, you could check your paperwork for the vehicle or call the dealer with your VIN. If you do NOT have the tow package either part # 43605 or 118263 could be used, but in order to use # 118623 in the Xterra without the tow package, a relay that would be obtained from your Nissan dealer would need to be installed. If you...

  • Is a Module Needed To Safely Install Trailer Lighting on a 2007 Nissan Xterra
  • Your local mechanic is more than likely correct. Newer vehicles have sensitive components and thinner wires than ever before and adding trailer wiring that is powered by the vehicle wiring can overload the wires or sensitive circuitry and cause any number of problems. The solution to your dilemma is a Modulite powered wiring harness. This type of harness is designed so that it uses the signal from the vehicle wiring to activate the trailer wiring functions, but the power is provided for...

  • Parts Needed to Activate 4-Pole Trailer Wiring on 2005 Nissan Xterra
  • The Hopkins part # HM43575 is a replacement for just the 4-pole harness portion of a complete kit like # 118525. This part alone does not give you an active trailer harness. The complete kit # C56225 includes the 4-pole portion, the three relays and the relay jumper harness that must be installed behind the passenger side kick panel. You can see the whole installation in the linked video.

  • Converting a 4-Way Trailer Connector From a 7-Way Connector on a 2014 Nissan Xterra
  • The relays for a 7-way trailer connector are the same that you already have for your 4-way. To add a 7-way you can use # 118267 on your 2014 Nissan Xterra.

  • Parts Needed to Upgrade 4-Way to 7-Way and Add Brake Controller to 2006 Nissan Xterra
  • Since you already have a 4-Way on your 2006 Nissan Xterra you already have the relay harness that comes with the Curt T-Connector # C56226 so you just need the wiring for the 7-Way which is found as part # 118267. Please note that the gray plug that carries the additional functions of the 7-Way may or may not match up with what is on your vehicle. For some reason Nissan wasn't consistent with what plug they used on your vehicle and so sometimes it can be hit and miss but all you need to...

  • What is the Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2007 Nissan Xterra without a Tow Package
  • For your 2007 Nissan Xterra, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C56225, that you have referenced. This harness includes the relays that can be found in the factory tow package wiring, and it is wired similarly as the factory tow package because it includes a jumper harness that installs near the front of the vehicle. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you then wanted to add a 7-Way trailer connector, you would need the 4 and 7-Way...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2013 Nissan Xterra Used for Carrying Bike Rack
  • I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13514 because of the durable powder coating that Curt uses on their hitches; it's just a bit thicker than some other manufacturers and is going to stand up to scratches and nicks a bit better over time. This hitch will give you a 2" receiver that's ideal for carrying hitch mounted accessories like bike racks or even cargo carriers and typically 2" receivers are going to give you a better selection of bike...
