Wrong factory wiring

Installation, no-brainer. Everything is ready, we go to test, nothing. Buy a tester, smoke a tester. Brought it to the garage. The pin from the 7 pin connector to the car connector is DC and grounded. Good.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Damaged

Wiring harness works with Pathfinder 2020

I gave it 4 stars because the actual 7 pin connector is as cheap as it is sold and doesn't fit in Kurt's standard L bracket . I don't know about previous models but I had to run a jumper from the ground wire that goes in the connector to the ground in the car's bumper. The rest of the connections fit well.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Frequency

Bad customer service!

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! Read the reviews and you'll see some wiring issues. Neither Kurt nor Revane would support him. When plugged into my 2019 Pathfinder it shorted out the passenger side turn signal relay. Troubleshooting and repairing the damage cost me about $700. All I was offered was a refund and a $30 store credit.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Working speed

Attention, manufacturing defect.

No base mount included and Universal Curt does not have the same screw pattern. I had to drill and get it working. The two-pin plug of the black and white cable has been swapped. After an hour of troubleshooting, it turned out that it was the other way around. The white wire is ground. I managed to press a notch with a master key and pull the wires out to switch.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

No direct plug and play installation.

Looks good out of the box but the two power wires on the wiring harness have been mixed up causing problems with the trailer lights. I had to unplug the white and black wires and swap the contacts. The base also doesn't match the holes in the custom mount that Kurt sells, so I had to cut and modify the mount to make it work. This made it a plug and play installation.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Some cons

Easy install (watch video) // Update 5/30/2020: Not working

Very easy to install and has everything you need. Update 05/30/2020: Installation was easy. Added a 4 pin adapter and doesn't work. I thought the 4 pin adapter was bad (sent back to Amazon). Bought another adapter and same problem. Ground (white cable) and light checked right/left and nothing! Tested the aux (red wire) with right/left light and each light worked. Definitely Auxiliary and Ground are in the wrong place. Returned.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good

Ground and Auxiliary Power Wires Reversed

Curt appears to have received a bad batch of these wires with the wires reversed, as other reviewers have pointed out. First came a direct delivery from Kurt. Installation was easy, but nothing helped. I figured it might be my trailer wiring so I bought a curt tester. This didn't work either. After a bit of troubleshooting I found that this would work with a temporary jumper wire running from the white side of the connector to the ground point on the vehicle. I tried contacting the manufacturer

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Available in Black Only
