Best 2012 Nissan Xterra Trailer Wiring Options- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at the best custom fit vehicle wiring harnesses available for the 2012 Nissan Xterra. Now the number one thing you'll need to decide in your wiring harness is going to be whether you want a four-pole flat style, which will give us turn, brake, and running light signal, or whether you need something like a seven-way or a seven-pole plug. Now the seven-pole plug's going to have all those. It's going to have our turn, stop signals. It's going to have our running light. It's also going to include a reverse signal for a marine-style trailer application, a brake controller lead if you do install a brake controller in the Xterra to bring that power rearward, and also a 12-volt power wire which will give us 12-volt power at our plug for a jack or maybe a trickle charge for a battery or something like that. Now this is our four-flat option from Tekonsha. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2012 Nissan Xterra- Video
Today on our 2012 Nissan Xterra we'll be installing this Tow Ready Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-pole flat connector part number 118525. We're first going to locate the manufacturer's tow port at the back of the vehicle. It'll be a gray plug. The plug also has a weather-proof cap on the end of it that will need to be removed. In order to remove it we'll press on the locking tab of the cap and then remove it. Next we'll take our matching pig tail with the gray connector and plug directly into the manufacturer's tow port. Now we'll route the pig tail to the end of the frame, down the hitch, ultimately we'll secure it to the chain hold down on the hitch. more
