Trailer Wire Connecting - Anyone Done Theirs...

[Goaliedad]

I have a base model FWD S model Rogue.

I have just bought the Hidden Hitch for the Rogue which has just come out.

Does anyone no where or how to wire your Rogue for a typical 4 pin trailer connector.

Is this prewired by Nissan or where do you access the wires for the connector.

Has anyone wired their own vehicle for a trailer???

I did my Nissan Versa myself. Before that I've donw my Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla and Tercel. Each car is a little different, but you need either a wiring diagram or a voltmeter or circuit tester to figure out which wire does what.

First, I recommend you get the type of wiring adapter that requires a seperate power source. Otherwise if the trailer lights draw too large of a load or has a short circuit, you'll blow hte fuse for you cars lights. You want you're cars curcuits isolated from the trailer. The only other alternative would be to individually fuse each of the 4 wires.

You'll need a tie-in point. The best location is usually at the wiring harness going to the reight or left rear turn signal. the wiring harness usually travel down one side of the car or the other. You can normally get all 4 circuits from the 1 harness. You'll need a stop, right turn, left turn , parking/running lights and a common. the trailer combines the running lights with the turn signals.

Thank you.

I looked today under the cargo mat in the tire storage area and could not find any wiring for the rear lights to tap into.

Do you/ did you have to take the lens off the rear turn signal light to access this for harness wiring.

If anyone has had Nissan wire their Rogue and could let me know the location the wires are coming from that would be wonderful.

I noticed that there is a TSB on the Nissan Documents page for Trailer Wiring.

You might want to go to you Nissan Dealer and ask for NTB04049

"SERVICE INFORMATION NOTE: This bulletin provides information to be shared with all affected customers. -This TSB contains the appropriate hookup points for connecting a trailer lighting wiring harness to the towing vehicle electrical system. -The wiring diagrams contained in this bulletin are for Nissan vehicles that do not have a Genuine Nissan accessory towing kit (with wiring) available. See this bulletin for further detail. "

It is under Rogue (S35) 08.
