Best 2014 Nissan Frontier Trailer Wiring Options- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at the best wiring options for your 2014 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 - 2014 Nissan Frontier- Video
Today on our 2014 Nissan Frontier, we're going to review and install the Tow Ready, Tow Package Wiring Harness with 7-blade Connector, part number 118266. Here's what our 7-blade connector will look like when it's installed. With our 7-blade installed and secured tightly, all we have to do is open up the door on our 7-blade connector, plug in our trailering or towing product so that we can send our truck signals back to the trailer. To begin our install, we first need to locate the manufacturer's tow package connectors. Now once we locate the manufacturer's tow port connectors, we need to remove the weather cap off of each end. To do that we'll press on the locking tab, pulling down, removing the cap. Now we can bring in our new 7-blade wiring harness and connectors, we'll take the matching connector to the manufacturer's tow port, plug them in, making sure that they lock in place. more
