Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy). Thank you for asking your question on Just Answer.

Did your 08 Frontier come equipped with the tow package or was it installed after purchase of the truck? If it was installed after was it done at the dealer or an independent shop?

Thank you for asking your question on Just Answer, I am pleased to assist you with your concern.

Well the bad thing with the after market tow kits is they will just splice into the wires where the Nissan one will plug into a plug that should already be installed from the factory. If they just spliced into wires then you could have a short somewhere that is popping the fuses. If this wasn't done too long ago i would take it to that shop and explain to them what is happening and have them fix the issue. Since they installed it they should be held reliable for there mess up.

But yes the fuses should be able to handle the trailer. Also the factory one comes with 2 or 3 (cant remember off the top of my head) relays.
