Fourth Relay Recommendation for a 2007 Nissan Armada with No Running Lights on Trailer

Question

Question:

After installing the trailer wiring harness on my 2007 Nissan Armada, using the die-electric grease and installing the 3 relays required, I have found that the parking lights/daytime running lights do not come on. This will make my trailer hard to see during nightime use. I have checked all the fuses, both under the hood and inside the cabin and all are good. I tested the trailer on another vehicle and the trailer lights do come on so it seems it is isolated to the wiring harness on my truck, I noticed the packaging on the wire harness looked like it was a returnedinch or possibly refurbishedinch item. What options do I have on the harness or can you give me some insight on something i might have over-looked on the truck? Thank you for your assistance

It sounds like you are missing the fourth relay that is needed to complete the running light circuit on your 7-way. You will need one of the blue relays that is included in the Curt Relay Kit # C57000, this product installs under the dash to the left of the steering column next to the brake controller connection point.
