The Pigtail # RED39FR that you received with your Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR should match the functions on the OEM plug of both your 2006 Nissan Xterra and your 2022 Nissan Frontier. If the pins aren't matching up with the functions then either the wiring adapter you have was wired incorrectly, or your vehicle wasn't wired correctly.
Some other things to look into is making sure the wiring isn't damaged anywhere and causing the functions to cross over either in the connector or on... view full answer...
The one missing running light relay is a common issue on certain Nissan vehicles. It is usually a missing relay in the in-cab fuse panel and it is one of the blue relays included in the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. You can check the owner's manual for all fuse and relay locations to verify.
The relay is attached to a wiring harness which is located behind the passenger side kick panel near the passenger door (see picture). view full answer...
If your 2009 Nissan Xterra did not come with a factory tow package, you would need to have the appropriate relays in addition to a wiring harness in order for all of the trailer lights to work properly. The harness that you have referenced, # C56225, does come with the relays needed to make the trailer wiring harness fully functional. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

It sounds like everything was installed correctly with the wiring harness # C56225 on your 2011 Nissan Xterra. I recommend first checking to make sure there is no dirt or corrosion on or inside the factory gray connector under your vehicle. Look for anything that might be preventing a clean connection with the wiring harness plug and simply clean it out. A weak connection can certainly lead to the running lights working on your Nissan but nothing else.
Also make sure that the harness... view full answer...

I will start by saying the Curt # 13514 hitch is a fit for your 2007 Nissan Xterra, so you definitely have the correct part. As to the flange not sitting flush like it should, this is actually a fairly common occurrence with hitches. The frame brackets on hitches are a mild steel so they can flex with the frame of your vehicle when it twists over bumpy terrain. This is intentional as if it was too hard a steel, it would end up breaking. So all you need to do is bend it back into place.

If your 2008 Nissan Xterra came with a factory tow package and you wanted to convert the 7-Way to a 4-Way, you would use # C56225. However, if you are testing the 7-Way with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and the running light circuit is not functioning, you will want to check the fuses/relays associated with the tow package to see if something needs to be replaced.
You can use the vehicle owner's manual to located all of the fuses and relays that are related to the tow package. Some... view full answer...
Yes, we are well aware that some Nissan vehicles have the 12 volt and brake output wires reversed in the factory wiring harness. And we have come up with an easy fix for the problem. there are actually a couple of options and I have included a link to a help article that explains both methods.
For the first method you will need a pick tool or terminal release tool to basically swap the wire positions. Or, instead of locating a specialty tool that you won't use very much, you could use... view full answer...
This can be caused by a few things, but as you have enough slack in the wire, it is most likely just one of two things.
The door flap, for the lack of a better way to put it, on the 7 Way plug on the towing vehicle snaps down on a tab on the 7 Way plug coming from the trailer. These can break off which causes them to come uncoupled. If this is the case, the 7 Way trailer end will need to be replaced with something like the Optronics # A7WCB. But it could also just not be seated all the... view full answer...
If the controller isn't powering up that would be why the trailer brakes aren't activating. Since you installed the 7-way kit with the relays and then most likely used the # 3050-P (or one similar) to install the brake controller it would seem very likely that you are missing a relay for the brake controller.
The easiest way to find all the fuse and relay locations is to use the vehicle owners manual. In the index you will look up fuses and then go to the appropriate pages and it will... view full answer...
The NC code means the controller is not seeing a trailer connected, so the brakes will not work. You will want to clean the connector with some sandpaper specifically at the 5 o'clock pin position as corrosion can cause a trailer connection to not be seen. Do the same on the corresponding trailer connection and then use some dielectric grease like # 11755 to keep moisture and debris out.
If you still get no connection, then you will need to test the brake control pin at the 5 o'clock... view full answer...
Actually the brown relay controls the 12-volt power circuit (which you aren't using), and the blue relays control the turn signal circuits so most likely the problem is a blow fuse in the fuse box of your 2007 Nissan Xterra or one of the other towing relays you had installed in your vehicle.
I would recommend you check the diagram for the fuse panels and relay boxes to see find the trailer running lights circuit and check to see if a fuse or relay is blown. The easiest way to check for... view full answer...
We have heard of the issue you are experiencing and it is related to the black 12 volt power wire and the blue electric brake wires on the vehicle. It is not very common, but it has come up before. The problem is that the factory tow package connector on a few of the Nissan Xterras, Frontiers and Pathfinders from 2005 to 2012 had the 12 volt power and the electric brake wire switched. This is the connector that the black connector from your Tow Ready Wiring Harness, # 118267, connects to.... view full answer...
If the static you are hearing on your Jensen Stereo part # JWM60A is only when the radio is being played then the issue is most likely with your antenna. I would try adjusting the antenna to see if the static goes away but it not then the antenna may be bad and will need to be replaced. For this, I recommend the Jensen Antenna part # 44US01R which is both a top and side mount.
If the static you are hearing is both with the radio and other multimedia inputs such as CD/DVD's then the issue... view full answer...
Nissan tow package wiring on vehicles like your 2014 Nissan Xterra installs in a few different ways, but since you were able to have the kit work at one point yours was installed properly. The harnesses and relays are just sometimes in a few locations like you mentioned. Sometimes behind the kick panel on passenger side, sometimes at the rear of the vehicle, and sometimes closer to the driver side of the vehicle.
What issue are you having? Most likely issues with this setup are related... view full answer...
A common issue with Nissan vehicles is a missing a blue relay in the in-cab fuse panel. If this relay is missing or stopped working, you can replace it with one of the blue relays included in the Curt Relay Kit # C57000 to take care of that.
You may want to check the owner's manual for the relay and fuse locations on your 2012 Xterra. view full answer...
If your 2004 Nissan Xterra is equipped with the factory 4-Way connector and only the brake lights aren't working (but the turn signals work fine) on your trailer I recommend checking to see if there is a fuse dedicated to the trailer stop lights and replace it if needed. The fuse box lid inside the main passenger fuse compartment should label the different fuse locations and their functions.
If the fuse looks fine or there is not a fuse for this purpose then there is likely an issue with... view full answer...
It sounds like the brake output circuit is getting 12 volts of power all the time. This could be due to a mis-wired connector or a mismatch between the trailer connector and the new 7-Way. There could also be a bent or broken pin somewhere in the new harness or where it connects to the vehicle. And finally, corrosion on the trailer connector pins can cause a short from the 12-volt pin to the brake output pin.
Let's take a look at how your trailer side connector is pinned out. I have included... view full answer...

You are most likely missing one relay or fuse to control the running lights. Use the vehicle owners manual to find the locations of the relays/fuses associated with the trailer wiring. The one that is for the running lights could be missing or it could have gone bad. It is also possible that there is another relay required in the in-cab fuse panel that you will need to obtain from the dealer. view full answer...
