Best 2012 Nissan Frontier Trailer Wiring Options- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at the best wiring options for your 2012 Nissan Frontier. Here we're going to have the Tekonsha, which is going to give us a seven-pole at the end of our vehicle. Here we're going to have the CURT, which is also going to give us a seven-pole. Then here we have the Tekonsha, which is going to give us a four-pole. Finally, the CURT that's going to be give us a four-pole flat. Now the main difference between all of our wiring kits is going to be the end connector. Now both of our kits here, the CURT and the Tekonsha, are both going to give us a seven-pole flat and not only give us our required lights, but they're also going to give us control of our brakes and a 12-volt power source coming out. Our Tekonsha and our CURT that are going to give us a four-pole flat will give us all of our required lights, such as our taillights, brakes, and turn signals, but we're not going to have any control over our brakes. Now these aren't the only kits available for your Frontier, but what's going to set these apart from all the other ones is that they do come with the required relays so that the connector at the end of your vehicle will light up the lights on your trailer. If you're towing a small trailer where you only need the lights and you don't need a brake controller activator or anything like that, I think the CURT and the Tekonsha four-pole connectors would be a good option because, if we're not using a brake controller, this is still going to have all the required functions to get our lights working. On the other hand, if you are towing a heavy trailer where you do have a brake controller hooked up, or if you need your reverse lights or anything like that, I think the seven-way is going to be the way to go because you are going to have those extra functions as well as more amperage coming out. The way our harness is going to install for each one of these is going to be relatively the same. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2012 Nissan Frontier- Video
Today on 2012 Nissan Frontier we are going to install the tow ready T1 connector part number 118525. This is a two-part harness. The first piece we'll be adding to the passengers side kick panel. First, we'll remove the passenger's side threshold trim then the kick panel. To remove the trim, we'll simply take a flat blade screwdriver or a trim inaudible tool and get it underneath and pry it free from the plastic fasteners. To remove the kick panel we'll need to remove plastic screw cap and then use our trim panel tool or our flat blade screw driver to pop free the kick panel. more
