Hey everyone, how's it going Today we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Tekonsha T1 trailer wiring harness here on our 2022 Nissan Frontier. So a trailer wiring harness is gonna be one of the many things that we need in order to successfully tow a trailer with our Frontier. Now, in addition to this we need the trailer hitch, the ball mountain hitch ball, and also a brake controller, as well, if our trailer has brakes. All of these parts, we carry here at etrailer. Our trailer wiring harness is simply going to transfer the signals from the truck to the lights on our trailers. We can let other motorists out in the road, know what we're gonna be doing, allowing us to ride to our destination, safe and sound.
So this is a legal requirement in pretty much every state. A lot of the times, your larger trailers, such as your camper trailers, actually block the tail lights on the truck here, so we need a way to, as we said, let other motorists out in the road, know what signals we're gonna be making just so we can arrive safe and sound to our destination. So this kit here is a seven way. So this is gonna be one of the more standard types of trailer connectors for the larger trailers. Now, if you have a four way there's another kit you can purchase that has only the four way.
But if you ask me, I recommend the seven way with the seven to four way adapter. That way you have the capability to tow those larger trailers, as well as the smaller trailers should you have the need to do so. So here's what that adapter looks like. It's very easy to use. You just plug it into your seven way.
And then here is where you plug in your four way trailer connector. So the seven way trailer connector is gonna be used on those larger trailers that have electric brakes. So we're gonna have all of our standard lighting functions in addition to the electric brake circuit as well as a battery charge line circuit and a reverse light circuit, should we need it. The four way is only gonna carry your lighting signal, so just make sure you know what your trailer needs. But regardless I do recommend the seven way.
You just might also need an adapter but these are fairly cost effective, and you can pick one up here at etrailer along with your trailer wiring harness. So keep in mind your wiring harness doesn't come with the brackets that you see here. These are actually sold separately. And the reason for this is you can mount this in a number of different ways. We'll give you the exact options later in the video. Just know that you will need a couple extra things if you want to mount it like we see here. So our trailer connector here lid, this is actually gonna be spring loaded. So whenever not using it, it's gonna spring shut. There's actually a nice gasket material in there which is gonna seal up the pins inside. That way, you don't have to worry about any water getting in there causing corrosion issues which could then in turn affect your lights there. And the way this works is your trailer connector is actually gonna catch on the stop here on the lid to hold it in place so it's nice and snug. So in regards to installation this harness is very easy to install. It's definitely something you guys want to do yourself. You certainly don't wanna pay someone to do this for you. You really don't need any special tools whatsoever. Everything is plug and play. There's no splicing into the vehicle. I would, I would say, give yourselves around an hour or two to get this done. You don't have to lift the vehicle in the air or anything. It is a very simple installation. One we will walk you through step by step now. So to start your installation today you're gonna come underneath the rear of the truck here over on the driver's side. You're gonna take your wiring harness that comes in your kit. There's two ends. This is the trailer connector end, and then these are the two vehicle connector ends. So we're gonna be plugging these in first. There's gonna be two plugs on the vehicle here that we'll plug these into, but there is gonna be caps on there we have to remove first. So let's go ahead and jump underneath the vehicle so we can show you that. So directly above our trailer hitch on the driver's side frame sort of in between the spare tire these are our two factory tow package ports. Now there are plugs on these as they said so we need to go ahe
