If your 2012 Nissan Titan did not come with the factory tow package, then there will be some additional relays that you will need to install to activate the trailer wiring on your truck. You will need the Curt Relay Kit, # C57000. This kit includes three relays that will need to be installed in the power distribution box under the hood.

I have attached an installation video of this relay kit on a 2011 Nissan Titan for you to check out. The installation will be the same as your 2012 Titan.
