Everything Works Except Trailer Running Lights After Wiring is Installed on a 2013 Nissan Frontier
Question:
I pulled off the panel under the steering wheel, Looked for the relays. I found two relays one blue the other black. Did not see a place for 3rd relay. This truck was not tow ready. I installed the 3 relays under the passenger side. I have power for brakes and tail lights but no running lights. The video that I looked at for the relay install under the steering wheel looked completely different. I sure could use your help.

Expert Reply:
On some Nissan vehicles, including the Frontier, you will need an additional relay if it is not present in the relay harness in the cab of the vehicle. For this relay, you can use one of the blue relays from the Curt Relay KIt # C57000.
To access the area where the relays will be installed you will need to remove the passenger side kick panel and locate the 12-pin connector that will have the harness plugged into it that the relays install to. See the install video I attached.
