How to Connect Tow Bar Wiring to Correct Tail Light Functions on a 2013 Mini Cooper S
Question:
I have a 2013 mini cooper S. I purchased a bx8848 to connect the light between my 2017 freedom elite motorhome. The tail light connectors are number pin 1 thru 6. I need a pin to wire connection information. Thank you

Thanks for reaching out, Adele!
To install the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BX8848 to the correct wires you need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test and confirm the correct functions to connect to. Unfortunately I don't have a pinout diagram of the lights on your 2013 Mini Cooper S so the only way to figure this one out is to test the wires/pins individually and then splice in that way.
