Connector Location: Mounted outside the vehicle near the hitch after connecting to Nissan’s factory rear tow plug.

The prior-generation Pathfinder uses Nissan’s factory tow-wiring provisions. Interior relay connections activate the tow-light circuits, then the flat-4 connects at the protected rear bumper plug.

1. Opening the Driver-Side Cargo Access

The cargo floor, storage tray, threshold trim, tie-downs, and driver-side lower panel are removed carefully; the rear subwoofer is disconnected first when equipped.

2. Installing the Interior Relay Harness

The specified relays are seated in the custom harness, and both harness housings plug into the factory connector behind the driver-side cargo panel.

3. Completing the Under-Hood Relay Positions

The remaining relays are installed in the designated relay-box locations so the vehicle can power the trailer-light circuits.

4. Connecting at the Rear Tow Plug

The protected six-pin connector behind the passenger side of the rear bumper is cleaned, uncapped, and joined to the flat-4 harness.

5. Securing the Exterior Connector

The flat-4 is routed toward the hitch, supported away from exhaust heat and sharp edges, and finished outside where it is accessible for trailer use.

6. Function Testing and Reassembly

Every lighting output and ground is tested before the cargo panels, storage tray, subwoofer if equipped, and battery connection are restored.

Why Location Matters: The connector is finished where the vehicle-specific harness is designed to keep it protected, accessible, and clear of exhaust heat or moving components.
