Electrical Hot or Not (Fuses)
#76
Hey guys
Trying to install a power magic pro for my blackvue dashcam. I currently have it wired to F16 (these are the reading lights, etc). Problem is that my standby mode on the camera doesn't last longer than 30 minutes before auto-shutting down. I've read somewhere that the newer bmws (might also apply to minis?) would have their fuse boxes "cut power" in about 30 minutes.
If that's the case, is there another fuse that I can tap in? I would assume F21 (lock/comfort access) would be constantly powered, but...may not be the wisest choice in case the camera drains all the battery and I cant even unlock the car. The manual also suggests that I could tap in the "emergency lights" fuse, but which fuse would that be for the mini?
Need some help. Thanks

Any fuse that is a continual 12v source has the potential to drain the battery and you might not be able to unlock the door, not just F21.

Broken fixing point for lid?
Has anyone had to deal with a broken catch loop on this fuse box? I mean the plastic loop which comes out of the main body closest to the firewall (on the right side of this pic). One of the tabs on the fuse box cover is supposed to be held in place by this little piece of plastic. Otherwise it's only held down on one end and the loose on this one.

Interesting question. According to charts (such as this), 1.5 mm diameter is between 14awg and 15awg, and that corresponds to approximately 10 amp maximum recommended fuse size. The front and rear cigarette sockets are in parallel on the same fuse so I guess they chose 20A fuse to handle two sockets each running 10A. However a 20A fuse really wouldn't be safe because you can draw 20A from one socket without blowing the fuse and possibly overheat the wire.

well my comfort access and key fobs are not working because it was a fuse! Darn. But thanks for the useful information for me to be able to rule that out. On with the search!
Any useful suggestions appreciated and yes I changed both batteries...LOL

After my last visit to the dealership for my 3 year checkup on my 2012 Roadster S my cigar light socket and my boot charger socket quit working. My fuse panel doesn't look like the ones pictured in tha there are only 4 20 amp fuses on the right side below the 3 30 amp fuses. All my fuses appear to be okay. Any clues?

97 posts and there is no indication what fuse works the dome light or footwell lights. Not in the diagram, not in the workea
I think your quest to find terminal 50 would only be found in Tis.
Earlier R56s like mine do not even list one on the emoji chart Mine stops at 49 for an 07 mcs r56.
Going to disconnect bulbs...... cause I own a mini.
