Without more detail about what unit or module the best I can do is
direct you to some sites--
http://www.rvpartscountry.com/Trailer-Wiring_c_826.html and
http://hitchestogo.com/Nissan_Hitches.htm and
http://hitches4less.com/eltaco.html UHaul used to sell modules to
convert from separate turn light bulbs to older systems that used the
brake light for turn signals. Here is a link to a nissan forum--

Green is right turn signal

Brown is stop

Yellow is left turn

Black is Tail light

White is ground

Get a 12 volt circuit tester. You don't need a multi meter, just the
simple one that has a pointed probe, a ground wire with an alligator
clip, and a small bulb in the handle that lights when it gets
electricity. Find the main taillight connector plug. It should be on the
drivers side underneath the rear of the bed. Start from the taillight
assembly and trace the wires back to the connector. Unplug the
connector. Turn on the lights of the vehicle, and using the tester, use
the point to check each socket of the supply connector to find the
taillight circuit. The tester light will glow when it finds the
taillight circuit. Do the same with each of the turn signals on
separately, and the same with the brake lights on. You may need a helper
to hold the brake pedal down, or you can use something like a board,
wedging it between the driver's seat and brake pedal.

Thanks Bill,did exactly that.Almost forgot to connect the ground after I
had both Tailights buttoned up. That would have been bad as I would have
thought I had something wired incorrectly.

Have tailights brake lights and right turn ssignal.On my connector if
disconnected I have a flashing light when I connect to his trailer is
goes steady green and light doesn't flash.It works on his truck and
connections.At one point I had flash but no tailights.I had connected
one wire wrong but turn signals are green and seem to function on my
connector but not his?

Heres what I found in testing. When my friend hooks up his truck to the
trailer all lights work on the trailer.When I hook my truck up NO left
turn signal. When we hook up the accessorie tow lights that you use for
towing a car and the lights hold to the car by magnet my connector from
my truck works perfectly,all lights work. Now, I connected my truck back
to the trailer hook up. As soon as I connect my light on my connector to
my truck for the left turn signal the connector light goes out and the
trailr light does not blink.I pulled the connectors slightly apart and
turn the truck turn signal OFF. Now there should be no power from the
truck to turn signal connector and the connector light IS out.But when I
put my test light probe on the connector for the turn signal (remember I
pulled the connector slightly apart) I GET power??????So I'm getting
feedback to the turn signal connecor on the trailer from the
tailights?Right?

Bad ground
