How to Wire New 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector on 2007 Nissan Xterra With Missing OEM Plug

Question:

I am looking to buy this part....Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness with 4-Flat for Nissan code 118263 But the Female End that your part connects into has been cut from my vehicle. Do you sell the female end and have a wire diagram on how I can reinstall so I can use this harness.

The Tow Ready wiring harness you referenced, Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness with 4-Flat # 118263, is a correct fit for the 2007 Nissan Xterra that came with the factory tow package.

However, if your OEM vehicle connector is missing you can obtain one from your local dealership or you can go an easier route and simply wire in a 4-pole vehicle connector like # 18002. You can use butt connectors like # 05731-5 to connect the 4 wires, matching them color for color. Once you make the connections I suggest carefully wrapping each one with electrical tape to help protect those connections.
