How Do You Install a Tekonsha Trailer Brake Controller In 2019 Nissan Murano W/ Tow Package?
Question:
Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Nissan and Infiniti Item # 3050-P I have a 2019 Nissan Murano with tow package. Your website says this is not confirmed to be compatible. Is there any update or a different adapter I could use?

I would be happy to help, but there is not a Plug-In wiring adapter compatible with your 2019 Nissan Murano as the factory did not install a factory trailer brake controller port nor wiring to install a trailer brake controller.
Based on all of the information I was able to find on your 2019 Nissan Murano its tow package included a 4-way connector which is actually not compatible with electric trailer brakes. You will need to add a 7-way connector to your vehicle using the # ETBC7. This will plug in to the factory 4-way connector and require you to ground the white wire to the frame of your vehicle, run the blue wire to where you will be installing the controller, and run the black wire to the positive terminal of your battery with the included 40-amp circuit breaker.
To install your Tekonsha brand trailer brake controller you will need hard wire it to your vehicle making the following connections:
Blue wire to the blue wire run from the # ETBC7
White wire to ground
Red wire to cold side of stoplight switch that only has power when the brake pedal is pressed. Using circuit tester # PTW2993 will help you to find the correct wire.
Black wire to positive terminal of battery with 20-amp circuit breaker if your trailer has 1-2 braking axles, or 30 amp circuit breaker if your trailer has 3-4 braking axles. You will use the breakers and wiring included with the # ETBC7 to do this.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
