If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Pickup (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

The kit includes a T-connector with yellow and green wires, a 4-flat connector, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, a black converter box, double-sided tape, and cable ties for securing loose parts.
Open the tailgate. On the driver's side, remove the two hex head bolts securing the taillight assembly. Separate the connectors carefully, making sure not to damage the locking tabs. Repeat on the passenger side.
On the driver's side, place the T-connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle harness and the taillight assembly. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side using the green wire T-connector.
Route the green wire and 4-flat wire down through the opening under the taillight assembly, then along the backside of the bumper to the passenger side, and up through the opening under the taillight assembly on that side. Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and secure it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit.
Drilling is required only if a suitable existing grounding point (such as a screw with nut in the vehicle frame) is not available. If drilling is necessary, you will drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire eyelet.
If a suitable existing grounding point is not available, drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Secure any loose parts of the T-connector with the cable ties provided in the kit.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged. Drilling without checking can cause damage and personal injury.
After routing the wires and connecting the T-connectors on both sides, re-assemble the taillights on both the driver's and passenger's sides. The manual does not specify torque values for the hex head bolts.
The manual does not specify required tools. Based on the installation steps, you will likely need a wrench or socket to remove and reinstall the two hex head bolts on each taillight assembly, and possibly a drill if a grounding point must be created. Consult CURT or a professional installer for a complete tool list.
CURT 55353 is designed for Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Pickup. Confirm your specific model year with CURT or your retailer, as the manual does not list compatible years.
