shaggy Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hi guys. Excuse my ignorance, this feels like something I oughta know already. Can anyone tell me, does my '95 Pathy wiring have a trailer hitch wiring connector installed as part of the stock wiring loom? I looked around under the rear bumper, but couldn't see anything like a spare connector or loose end. If it doesn't, what is the normal procedure? --thanks very much!

Strato_54 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 i dont believe there is a stock harness plug but if you would like to install one then something like this is what you want if there isnt a plug already there by chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Actually, if anyone else is interested, I looked around and found a complete Curt Class 3 towbar setup for my '95 Pathy, including Curt wiring harness, for just over $200 and free shipping, at CARiD.com. Still appreciate the initial link though, it gave me a starting point PS -- it actually cost a bit more than I thought. Shipping was reasonable but not free, and then tax, of course. Still, pretty reasonable at $268 total, including two (high and low) ball carriers. --cheers Edited June 14, 2020 by shaggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 There's a plug-and-play converter box for the D21 pickups, but the WD21 needs the converter wired in. Not too complicated, though. I had what I suspect was a cheaper box wired into mine and it had so much voltage drop across it that you couldn't see the flashers if the running lights were on. I assume the higher-end converters have better transistors in them. I made my own converter from cheap relays instead. It's noisy and took some tinkering to get it working right, but the parts were cheap and it solved the problem. It's also got its own fuse, so if the trailer shorts out, it can't take anything else with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks for your input. The 'converter' that is part of the wiring kit I just bought is, from what I've read, a passive device (brief description below) Not sure if it's switching or current-limiting, but I expect it's fused. CURT® 55353 - T-Connector Nissan Pathfinder 1995, T-Connector (55353) by CURT®. 3-wire System, Location: S1/S2. Provides a 4-way flat connector for specific Nissan trucks. This provides all you need to connect a trailer to the tow vehicle. More details on https://www.carid.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
