I just picked up my new '06 SE OR Black with Black int. I am looking to install my own DVD and audio system, but after reading the owners manual, there is no listing of which fuse does what either in the cabin or under the hood? Where do we find this information out? I just traded in my '98 F-150 Lariat stepside Extended Cab 4X4 for this Armada and am very happy with the Nissan. We'll see how things go... So far at 60 miles on the ODO everything is working!!! :D

Thanks for the reply. We just arrived in Ft. Myers with 1500 miles on the ODO. Towed a boat down from Chicago and the Armada tows just great! One brake rotor I found out was completely warped on the rear and we had an issue with our climate control for a bit. We'll get these addressed when we get home. Got 12 MPG steady the whole way towing 70-75 MPH with our boat. Thanks for the diagrams.

You're welcome! If you need more info on power supply, ground circuit elements, audio, and visual, just send me an e-mail. I will send two files in PDF. One file is 3 Mbyte and the other is 8Mbyte (Winzip). But make sure your email can accept up to 10 Mbyte.

Are you going to take your Armada to the dealer for rear rotor and climate control issues? Nissan gave me a brake update for the front.

BTW, you got a nice ride in the SE OR package.

Sorry for the delay in replying. We just got home in chicago this afternoon. 3600 Miles on the ODO now. 12 MPG almost no matter what for the whole trip. Do the math on gas, somewhere around $1600 including boat gas, but the power is fantastic! It really towed wonderfully. I have an appointment set up for the oil change and rotors. The climate control issue never happened again, so we'll wait to address that.

I also ran into a trailer wiring issue; Do you have just a listing of all of the fuses and what they are for? I am surprised Nissan does not have this in the owners manual or service manual? I am wondering what fuses handle what.

Thanks.

Do you have the factory Big Tow option? If not, and a hitch was added, then you have to install three relays for the lights to work.
What trailer wiring problem are you having?

I have the factory big tow option. I was driving along last night and all of a sudden, poof!, no more running lights anywhere on the trailer, signal and brake lights work. The running lights in the taillights also did not work?

Just thought I would also check fuses.

Look for a blown 10 amp fuse in the box behind the battery.

The fuse listings are printed on the backside of the covers. One box is by the the glove box and the other two are behind the battery. There is a hidden row of fuses in the rear most box. Pull the white plastic fuse board straight up to access them.

Correct. Also, there is no need to go to the fuse box for power for a DVD and Stereo. You tap off the stock stereo wires for that in the stock radio location. Get a wire harness or a test light and then solder or crimp. ;)
