Upfitter prewiring

[Bikeboy80]

There are two sets of plugs behind the driver kick that travel to another set of plugs in the engine bay to allow for power to pass through the fire wall. Does anyone know where I might be able to get the other ends of the plugs with pigtails?

 

I couldn't find them on any of the online parts suppliers even on the diagrams. I am thinking going to a local dealer will end up with the same results. Maybe an upfitter would have access to them?

 

There is also a plug under the center of the dash some where that that is an upfitter plug for telematics that I wouldn't mind also getting if available.

 

Thoughts?

I would be very interested in these plugs as well.  Any little bit that can save me wiring.  Are the telematics plugs open on the other end as well or is there data on them?  Maby it was for the Navi system hookup?

[Bikeboy80]

From the info I found it looks like the telematics plug is a good spot to pick up info from the factory system and computer. But beyond seeing it in a PDF for upfitters that is all I know and can't find any further info. I haven't had the chance to go digging around in the dash to find it either.

I did find the part numbers for those plugs,  it is in the body builders manual

 I looked at all the manuals, Page 129 didn't show plug numbers on any of them, maybe the manual changed? I have looked every where for the interfacing male plugs to use the Pre-wire harness. The local dealer didn't even know they were there! Anyone have the part numbers for the two 50A two wire plugs and the two 10A four wire plugs?

 

Thanks.

anyone have the plug part numbers ?

I never found any mating plug connectors, so I found some large 3/8" female spade wire terminals and made it fit the provided dummie connector that comes provided on the engine compartment side and then just used the same female wire terminal on the inside cab side. I only used the positive wire, I didn't use the negative wire because I just grounded to the chassis when needed. I ran the positive wire to the rear of the driver's side to this fused panel. It is connected to (4) added interior LED lights and provides the two lighter sockets, plus three more switched fused circuits for the future.

Back to the original question about the upfitter connectors. My local parts guy couldn't find them in Nissan's system even with the part numbers from the body builder guide. It got me thinking that maybe they shipped on the NV. They are there, just pull back the electrical tape and you can disconnect the plug. Here's a link to pics on my Instagram page of the ones under the hood:

 Yes, there is a plug casing on the engine compartment side, but there are no metal terminals in it to add wires to. Also, the other side of the plug assembly with the wires in it, is not "live", meaning they are not powered, They are only the engine compartment side of the wires that go thru the firewall to the cab. If you look on the cab side, the same two wires go to a different style plug and there is no female plug in that connector for you to use. The terminals are large 3/8" ones that are hard to find, although I did find them. You have to bring a hot "+" wire from the battery (with a fuse) to that supplied connector and add the 3/8" terminal. When you plug those two back together, you will now have a hot "+" wire on the inside of the cab to use however you want.

For anyone who is looking for the disconnects to put inside the two prong upfitter connector they are 9.53mm female disconnects. They go in with a very satisfying click and don't budge once they are in place.

 

The same disconnects are used on both the engine side and the cab side even though the upfitter connector is different.

 

I'm using them on the cab side as well, just without a upfitter connector until I can find it. Slide them on and put electrical tape around the housing to keep dust and dirt out.

 

Available Amazon and ebay if you search for:

 

TE CONNECTIVITY / AMP 280755-4 TERMINAL, FEMALE DISCONNECT, 9.53MM, CRIMP (10 pieces)

You can use mini fuse tap adapters to connect power on the cab side if you need it. Some things will make sense to connect there and some will make sense to connect on the engine side.

I actually did have the correct disconnects for the four prong connector as well. Search this Amazon or eBay:

I needed battery power in the cab.  I looked at the upfitter pass throughs.  I would need to source the connection hardware at both ends and run wire under the hood as well.  I have the tow package, so I used the trailer brake controller connection located next to the upfitter connections behind the kick panel.  That connection has B+ and ground.  I already had a pigtail for that connector as it came with the van.  Still need to source ignition power in the cargo area.  At this point I'm deciding whether to go off the cargo light circuit or do the work and get a wire to the 12v socket harness in the center console.  Unless someone has a better idea.
