Hello!
First time posting here, but not sure what else to do.
I have a 2010 mini cooper that I bought just over 4 months ago at 62k miles. Over the past week, crazy things have been happening.
I went out to warm up my car one morning, shut the door and as I was walking away, I heard my car lock. Needless to say, I was locked out of my car.
There's been a few times where I put my window up and it goes halfway down or vice versa.
A few days ago I started my car and as i was sitting in it, it locks three times. Then my turn signals started blinking back and forth.
Yesterday I started my car and my high beams came on. I turned them off and they came on again about 3 more times. I had to shut my lights off for them to stop.
I called my dealer and bitched but they said they have never had this problem with any cars and can't get my in until next week.
What the hell is going on?

 

How old is your battery? A failing battery can cause some weird stuff on a Mini. You might check your grounds also.

 

I just had my battery checked and it at 425 out of 480

 

Car Talk would come up with one of two answers, a short or a faulty ground. I think this is more of an intermittent ground. Are you in the Pacific NW?
