No LED Light on Voyager Brake Controller on a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder

Question:

Hi I have a big problem Nissan has controlled my Pathfinder and everything is ok. The trailer has new electric brakes, all the electrical circuit is controlled it works on another truck, and my brake control does not work. When the controlled brake is connected, block the wheels of the trailer, without pressing the brake of the truck pedal. and I have no LED light on. can you testing the LED when the trailer is not connect? my car: Nissan pathfinder 2005 LE 4x4 sorry for my English, im french.

The Tekonsha Voyager brake controller, # 39510, will not light up until a trailer is connected. Once a trailer is connected the light will be green on the brake controller. If the light does not come on when the trailer is connected that means the brake controller is not sensing the trailer.

It looks like you purchased wiring harness # 118267. This is meant as a replacement for a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder that came with a factory 7-Way. If your Pathfinder did not come with a 7-Way trailer connector you would need # 118266. It comes with a jumper harness and relays that install behind the passenger side kick panel to make the 7-Way functional.

The jumper harness is not available by itself. Once you have the proper harness installed the brake controller should work just fine and the light should come on when the trailer is connected.
