2007 Titan Trailer/Towing Lights Explained!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK,

I read about 4-5 hours of postings, downloaded the manual, took apart my dash and traced wires.....but here's the explanation of the Titan towing.

If you have purchased the Titan w/the towing package, you probably came equipped with the Nissan hitch and all the relays needed to basically 'hitch and go'. If you are like me and did not get the towing package (I thought I had it b/c I had the "tow" button on the dash...but that's not the case).

If you didn't get the tow package, you can buy an adapter to connect to the Nissan towing plug located under your back bumper area...tie wrapped to the frame. If you then hook up trailer lights, you will have running lights when you turn either your parking lights or headlights on.....but you won't have either left or right turn signal and obviously no brake lights as well since brake lights use the tail light bulbs.

Under the hood on the passenger side just behind the battery is a smaller compartment about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide notched on one end. This houses 3 empty connectors......two 4 pin relays which are your left and right turn signal and one 6 pin relay which is 12V power to your RV plug (if you are using one). (The 6 pin relay isn't necessary if towing a trailer, only if you are towing a camper or such requiring a 12V source to run lights, etc).

So if you want to pull a trailer, you will have running lights w/o the relays, but you will not have brake or turn signal unless you purchase the relays cheaper online or go to the dealer if you need them right away. Part Number for the turn signal relays is 25230-79945. They are around $5-10 more from the dealer from what I've seen.

Hope this helps!!!!

titan Relay compartment

Existing manufacturer installed 7-way wiring

Spliced wire from rear lights

I took a picture of the relay compartment, the manufacturer 7-way wiring at the rear and a splice wire that was used from the tail lights for clarity, for me. I have one small 10 Amp fuse on the right and this relay. Do I need to fill the other two relay locations in order that the 7-way wiring will all work?
Should anyone know what the colored insulation signifies, i.e. aux, or brake, or left turn, etc... please post that info as well, thanks.
