Last night I parked my MINI on other Manager parking spot at my work and went I try to start my MINI the power of just go off. I had to pouches started the MINI. After letting the
MINI warm up I decided to try it again but the power just keep on going off.

I can’t even hear the ignition kick and the rest of the equipment of the MINI are all go crazy. The light panel keeps on flashing on and off. I will be off at 7:30am this morning and see if the dealer can do some thing about this. Luckily me that the dealer is open today.

Any other MINI owner out there experience the same situation?

Sounds to me IMHO, that you left something on . Maybe inside lights or parking lights and the battery was almost dead. it takes a good battery today to power all the computers in the new cars. give the battery a good charge and I'll bet you'll be ok, tim

The only time I had trouble starting mine was because of the anti-theft system. I had locked the doors while in the car, with the engine off, but radio on. I unlocked to let someone in, and the car wouldn't turn over. Removing the key and putting it back in worked, to reset the code.
I know that's different from what you're experiencing. Does the remote lock and unlock the car? Do the electronics work when you set the key in the first position?

Got my MINI to the dealer this morning with out an appointment. Fernando at the Assael MINI was wonderful, he got my MINI in right away and it turns out to be a defected battery.

The battery was replace at no charge and they also replace the heat seal because is part of the recall. Man I am so glad that BMW-MINI have this warranties and now I can say for the first time Assael MINI have done a fine job.


Thank you LizzyBobio and fuzzyface for your help :smile:
