Yes, the Curt 56281 Custom Wiring Connector is designed for the Nissan Pathfinder. It is also compatible with the Infiniti QX60. Both vehicles are in the SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans category.
The Curt 56281 has two amperage ratings: Signal Circuits are rated at 7.5 amps per side, and Tail/Running Circuits are rated at 7.5 amps total. You must not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need: a ratchet, 10mm socket, panel trim removal tool, Phillips screwdriver, cutting tool, and test probe. The 10mm socket is used to remove cargo tie down loops and the three bolts securing the cargo storage tray. The test probe is used to verify proper function after installation.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation.
You must remove: the cargo storage tray (secured by three 10mm bolts), the trim panel on the back of the cargo storage tray, the center trim piece and scuff panel from the rear, fasteners securing the cargo storage tray, push fasteners holding rear seat covers, and the side floor panel (which is secured by cargo tie down loops removed with a 10mm socket). If your vehicle has a rear subwoofer, you must also carefully remove it by unscrewing the retainer bolt and disconnecting the speaker connector without damaging the locking tabs.
The factory harness is located in the back corner of the side wall panel, behind the driver's side cargo hook floor panel. You will access it after removing the side floor panel (component H) in Step 7.
You need to install five relays total. Three relays must be installed on the harness in the cargo area (Step 7) before connecting the housings to the factory harness. Two additional blue relays must be installed in the vehicle relay box behind the driver-side headlight (Step 11). All relays must be fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Ensure relays are seated on the housing by pulling on them.
The sequence is: (1) Install the three relays on the harness and ensure they are fully seated with locking tabs in place (Step 7); (2) Connect the two relay harness housings into the factory harness, ensuring the locking tab is in place (Step 8); (3) Insert the custom wiring connector end into the white vehicle tow/trailer connector, ensuring full insertion with locking tabs in place (Step 9).
The grey 6-pin tow plug is located on the passenger side, behind the rear bumper. You will locate and open it in Step 12, remove the protective cap, and ensure the connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting the 4-flat connector.
Connect the 4-flat to the mating end of the grey 6-pin vehicle tow plug located on the passenger side behind the rear bumper. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place (Step 13). Before connecting, remove the protective cap and verify that connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire installation. In Step 14, you must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing point is available, you may drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.

If no suitable existing point is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw (Step 14). Before drilling, check for hidden items to avoid damage and personal injury.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties (Step 15).
After installation is complete, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring connector functions properly. The test probe (included in required tools) can be used for testing.
After installation: (1) Reinstall all items removed during installation (cargo storage tray, trim panels, side floor panel, and rear subwoofer if equipped); (2) Reconnect the negative battery terminal; (3) Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion (Step 16).
Signal Circuits are rated at 7.5 amps per side, and Tail/Running Circuits are rated at 7.5 amps total. You must not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
