I have an 07 2wheel drive V6 Manual frontier and I have just installed the factory Trailer wiring kit I purchases from Courtesy Nissan. My Trailer brake lights and turn signals work fine, however the trailer tail lights do not come on. I have no volt to the brown wire on the 4 pin harness or the pre wire on the frame. I have been reading service manual and the trailer tow section shows 2 trailer relays in the engine compartment between the battery and relay/fuse box. My truck does not have this. I need to get the trailer lights working any help is greatly appreciated. If I have to I will splice into the tail light or license plate wire but I would prefer to get working with out doing so.

Go to your Nissan dealer and get the relays-one blue and one brown one, don't have the part #'s at this time.

Thanks for the quick response, I have read on another forums that there is additional harness and relays to activate the running light. I have looked under the hood sever times this evening but can not seem to figure out where this would plug in. As I stated in the FSM there seems to be another small relay container that my truck does not have.

I thought the relays were behind the passenger side kick panel!

I have already installed the relays behind the kick panel. There are 3, 2 Blue and one brown per the instructions as my truck is a manual trans.

Just looked at my 4WD, the there are several relays in the box behind the battery as well as several fuses in the IPDM E/R. Don't see many 2WD Frontiers.

I have spoke to 3 Nissan Dealers Acme Nissan"s recommendation was to bring it in and we can charge you to fix it. Pine Belt Nissan was going have a tech call me back that was Weds never heard from them. Courtesy Told me they have sold tons of the 4 wire kits and never heard this problem.
I have looked under the hood multiple time and there does not seem to be any place to put additional relay or fuses. I there another fuse panel under the dash, I have not had a chance to look yet.
This has got me stumped I really do not want take it to a dealer to have them charge me and then tell me that they do not know because we have never seen a 2WD SE 6spd. (I have fun finding it when I bought it new. There were 3 in the north east) Going to keep plugging away at it and worse case I am going splice into the plate light and be done with it.

go to a place like pep boys or vip
go into the trailer light section
they have a plug in device that plugs in between the wire going to the back of the truck and the taillight harness
it has a 4 wire plug coming off of it, and a converter for the amber sig lights
worked great for me

I had the same issue last month. What I did is I cleaned my ground wires. I also made sure that they are on the perfect bare metal. Try to do my solution and I hope it will help you.
