Lights/Electrical

Hi, All. Just bought a 2012 Mini Ciupe S and there are some light issues that are list below (understand this is the R56 page, but hoping to reach more readers as theres not much difference between models in this regard).The drivers footwell had bad water ingress (solved) and I replaced the corroded FRM module, had the info ported from the old frm to the new, and cleaned all the connectors but problems persist. Any hints as to the source of my problems? (Note - windows DO work)Interior dome - noMap lights - yesFloor lights - yesLower instrument panel - noFront l - no lights/turn at allFront r - turn & daytimes yes (no hi/lo ctrl)L & R fender turn lights - noRear tail l&r - noRear brake l&r - yesRear middle brake - noRear turn - l yes, r noFront fog - l yes, r noRear fog light - l yes, r noRear license light - yesReverse light - l yes, r no

Start by checking the 4 Footwell fuses:
With the ignition key turned ON, do you measure battery voltage to body ground at both top test tabs for each of the 4 installed FRM fuses? If so, does battery voltage reach X14261 Footwell connector pins 1, 3, and 34 and X14260 Footwell connector pin 2?

RT/BL = red/blue wire
RT/SW = red/black wire
RT/VI = red/violet wire
RT/GE = red/yellow wire

Information found on the fuse box cover suggests that 30A FRM fuses F4 and F8 are dedicated to the power windows, whereas 40A FRM fuses F52 and F53 are dedicated to the lights. This means that you can focus your multimeter tests on fuse F52, fuse F53, X14260 connector pin 2, and X14261 connector pin 34.
