trouble with my r53
trouble with my r53
This little mini has been a great car for the most part. It is now starting to fall apart but it's partially my fault. I need to fix the drain on the sunroof cause it's raining on the inside..My bigest issue is a parasitic draw on my battery and the speedo, tac, and all dash lights are out. (mine as nav so the tac and speedo is on the steering column) nav dash is out too but it has been for a while now and that's not quite as pressing. I'm guessing it's a body control mod but I haven't seen anyone else with this issues and it's a big spend to be wrong about. Any ideas?
The hoses to drain the rain out of the sunroof gets clogged and the front diver side one pours water on the electrics in the kick panel and shorts things out and burn fuses!
Where are you at? There maybe members in your area, that can help you out with it!

ItsmeWayne is correct.
If you are at all handy...pull the kick panel cover off and pull the connector off and look for corrosion. BCM is on the passenger side in an R50/53
The other place to look is the drivers side kick panel. Up north here snow/water gets into the area and the fuse panel gets corroded and causes all sorts of power draw issues.
