How To Install Item # 118281 On 2010 Nissan Pathfinder
Question:
Hello I have a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder LE . I purchased the kit #118281 awhile back so I could tow my camper but just got around to hooking it up but there is no plug anywhere for the relays and the one plug in the back is different. Can you help me get the right wiring?

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector Item # 118281 is the correct harness for your 2010 Nissan Pathfinder. The plug behind the passenger side kick panel can be difficult to locate because of the bundle of wires in that small area. You may have to pull wires out of the way, just be careful not to pull on them so hard you damage them where they are going into the factory plugs. It may be possible that it is taped to other wires, tucked on the backside.
As far as the plugs at the back of the vehicle, the Pathfinder is going to be very similar to the Frontier as far as plug locations however, they may not be in the exact location. Look for a black plug and a gray plug with caps. They will be located on your driver side frame rail. Should be on the inside but, one could be on the outside of the frame rail similar to where it is on an Xterra.
I have included links to instillation videos for both the Xterra and the Frontier to help you locate the plugs.
On some of the 2010's the plug in the back does not match the plugs on the harness. Due to this, you will have to cut the plug off of the harness and splice the wires together. You will want to test the factory wires to determine the correct functions. Do not rely on colors to match.
