Connector Location: Mounted outside the vehicle near the hitch after connecting to Infiniti’s factory rear tow plug.

The prior-generation QX60 uses the same factory tow-wiring architecture as the related Pathfinder. Interior relays activate the circuit, while the exterior flat-4 connects at the protected rear socket.

1. Opening the Driver-Side Cargo Access

The cargo floor, storage tray, threshold, tie-downs, and lower side panel are removed carefully; the subwoofer is disconnected first when equipped.

2. Installing the Interior Relay Harness

The required relays are seated in the vehicle-specific harness and the assembly plugs into the factory connector behind the driver-side cargo trim.

3. Completing the Under-Hood Relay Positions

The remaining tow-light relays are installed in the designated relay-box locations before the vehicle circuit is energized.

4. Connecting the Rear Tow Socket

The protected connector behind the passenger side of the bumper is uncapped, inspected, and joined to the flat-4 harness.

5. Securing the Exterior Lead

The connector is routed to the hitch, supported away from the exhaust and sharp edges, and finished outside for convenient trailer access.

6. Function Testing and Reassembly

Running lights, brake lights, both turn signals, and ground are tested before the cargo trim, storage tray, subwoofer if equipped, and battery connection are restored.

Why Location Matters: The connector is finished where the vehicle-specific harness is designed to keep it protected, accessible, and clear of exhaust heat or moving components.
