Rear view of a 2022–2024 MINI Cooper SE showing the exterior hitch and trailer wiring location

Vehicle Coverage: 2022–2024 MINI Cooper SE; exact trim and factory tow-package equipment are verified before scheduling
Output: Passive 4-way flat trailer-light connector
Finished Connector Location: Stored inside the rear cargo area when not in use and routed over the hatch seal only while connected to a trailer.
Testing: Running lights, brake lights, both turn signals, and ground are verified before delivery

Connector Location: Stored inside the rear cargo area when not in use and routed over the hatch seal only while connected to a trailer.

The MINI uses a passive powered flat-4 converter rather than an active factory-style module. The harness is stored inside the cargo area and is brought across the hatch seal only when a trailer is connected.

1. Opening the Rear Lamp and Cargo Access

Rear trim is released carefully so the left and right lighting circuits can be reached without damaging the compact interior panels.

2. Connecting the Passive Lighting Inputs

The converter is connected to the required lamp signals without installing a programmed active towing module.

3. Completing Fused Power and Ground

The module receives a protected power feed and a clean ground, with wiring supported away from high-voltage and moving components.

4. Securing the Module and Flat-4

The converter and unused connector length are secured in the rear cargo area so they do not rattle or interfere with the load floor.

5. Testing and Demonstrating Storage

Every trailer-light output is tested, then the customer is shown how the flat-4 stores inside and routes across the weather seal only during use.

Why We Use Verifiable Wiring: We install passive powered or exact-fit trailer-light circuits that can be completely function-tested before the appointment is finished. We do not install active modules that require programming or prevent full verification before the vehicle leaves.
