- 2005 Mini Cooper r52 Brake Light Switch Pin
- On the brake light switch, part # RM-751438, there are two black wires and they can be connected to either the battery or the supplemental braking system.

- The Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack, part # Y02634, has several adjustable locking dials that you can use to modify the height and angle of the rack. By turning these and moving the individual arms up and down, you can adjust the height and angle of the bikes and how they rest. These dials can also move the rack closer and further away from the vehicle. I've included a picture of these dials so you can see where they are.
To set past the default, you'll turn the dial again after it clicks...

- Since the Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Trailer Brake Controller # TK63VR is not getting 12 volts of power when the vehicle is running and pressing the brake pedal this is why the controller is not working. You can test for another wire on your brake switch that gives you the 12 volt output when the vehicle is running or we have the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000. This kit mounts to the brake pedal and will send 12 volt power to the controller when the pedal is pressed.

- First, before flat towing your 2011 Mini Cooper, be sure the tires are filled to the recommended psi and in good condition. More importantly, be certain your steering column is not locked; if your tires are unable to turn they would wear out quickly.

Another thing you could do is add an anti-rattle device such as the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer...

- The correct fuse size for the Curt Powered Taillight Converter # C59236 is a 10 amp fuse.
It sounds like you have a common ground issue.

- The first thing I would do is double check the vehicle wiring type to make sure you connected the # C59236 wiring harness to the correct wires per the instructions. Once this is done I would make sure the connections on the quick splice are secure.
Afterward, I would go ahead and test them using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993. Assuming the connections are good and you are connected to the correct wires, you should get power right at the quick connector. If you don't, you are likely...

- If a check engine light appears after installing the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System part # SM99243 you could either have a leak as you mentioned in the vacuum system, the check valve which is tied into the vacuum system is installed backward, or there was an issue with the stop light switch connection. If you were to have the code pulled by taking the vehicle to a local auto parts store I would be able to narrow down which of theses issues has occurred.

- If your Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A will not turn on, it's going to be either because it's not getting power, it's not grounded properly, or the fuse is blown.
Since you already tried resetting the unit, we'll start by checking the 10 amp fuse on the back of the unit and replace if necessary. Failing to disconnect the battery prior to installing the unit, as recommended by the user manual, could have caused a short, resulting in a blown fuse.
Next, with the vehicle battery re-connected,...

- The way that the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent Assembly Upgrade Kit # FV807357 operates, it shouldn't be possible for the lid to close under its own weight. I would double check that everything was installed correctly, paying close attention to the linkage that locks in and holds the lid open. The lift arm on the upgrade kit should still lock into the lid and secure it in place.

- If you are getting a power bleed back into the brake light switch causing the error then I recommend using a diode like the Roadmaster Single Park Light Diode # RM-690. This lets power only flow one direction so when installed on the cold side of your brake light switch will allow your brake controller and your vehicle electronics to work properly.
