Troubleshooting No Running Lights on a 2010 Nissan Armada
Question:
I had a uhaul trailer hitch placed aftermarket on my nissan armada. I got the relays and placed them in their designated spot. My left,right and brake signals work, but the running lights do not come on. We tested all the relays and they are all good. How do I trouble shoot the running lights.

Expert Reply:
The relays you got to activate the tow package wiring of your 2010 Nissan Armada are for the 12-volt power supply and the turn signals. I would check the fuse box of your vehicle and check for towing fuses that could be blown and replace as necessary.
The first thing I would check is the trailer wiring running light fuse located in the power distribution box under the hood. Once the fuse box is located check the legend on the lid to determine the correct fuse to check. Blown running light fuses are a common problem with the Nissan vehicles.
If the running light fuse is not blown or missing, you should also check fuses in the cab of the truck. Again use the legend on the cover, you will have a fuse box on the passengers side and the drivers side under the dash.
Finally, if the fuses all check out, you will need to check the connector itself and make sure that there is no damage or corrosion inside the connector that could be causing the running lights not to work.
The relays you referred to install under the hood and do not affect the running light circuit. As long as your left turn/brake, right turn/brake and 12 volt power supply are working at the 7-Way connector these relays are not needed
