Expert Reply:

If you installed a trailer wiring harness on your 2011 Nissan Armada and the running lights are not working, then you may need to install an additional relay under the drivers side dash. You can use one of the blue relays from the Curt Relay Kit # C57000 for this. For some reason Nissan included the running light relay on some models but not others, even if they did not come with a tow package.

The location for the running light relay is behind the drivers side dash to the left of the steering column (see photo).

The only way to know for sure would be to remove you lower dash piece on your 2012 Nissan Titan and see if the area that holds the three relays is missing the top relay. If so, then yes you will also need to get part #C57000 to replace it.

For the 2012 Pathfinders the relays are located under the hood. There should be a small black box, take the lid off of the box and there should be a legend that will tell you where each of the relays goes. See attached picture.
