    installing a brake controller

    have any of you installed a trailer brake controller in your titan? It's my understanding that all I need to do is plug the wiring harness i ordered with the unit into a very obvious plug on the left side of the dash under the steering wheel, mount the unit, and I'll be good to go. I have 0 experience with this and just want to make sure I am not stupid and it is indeed that simple lol

    We don't have Titans. We have Patrols.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Honestly they do nothing for me aesthetically. I'd have to see it in ARB trim.

    FrankCade No experience with Titans but the electric units generally operate on interia. I'll be getting a trailer mounted unit in the future.

    Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable.
    Determine where to mount the controller on the dash.
    Drill mounting holes for the bracket.
    Fasten the brake controller into place.
    Plug in the brake controller with a custom wiring harness.
