Brake Controller Installation on a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE
Question:
How can I tell if my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE has the factory 7 way wiring? Can you send me a photo of what it should look like? I need an electric brake controller for it and a 7 pin RV plug.

If your Nissan Pathfinder LE does not have a factory 7-Way connector on at the rear of the vehicle then your vehicle was not equipped with the factory tow package. I do not have a picture of the Pathfinder with a factory connector available to send you.
To install a brake controller and 7-Way RV plug on your Pathfinder you will need a brake controller like the P2, item # 90885, that your referred to, a 4-Way connector item # 118263, and a Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, item # ETBC7.
We have detailed instructions on our Brake Controller Installation from Scratch Page (see link) and a video installation that will help.
Wiring for a brake controller is not that difficult, just be sure that you find the stop light circuit that has no power until the brake pedal is pressed. The # ETBC7 kit includes all of the hardware needed to complete the installation.
