Need help here too!
So we're taking a long drive from Pittsburgh to Boynton Beach Florida and the Mini is having issues. A bit stressful. So the spoiler comes up but it seems there's an issue and the ding dong won't stop. We had to driver 2.5Hrs with to her hôtel 2/3 of the way. I don't know how to make it stop!!! So stressful. I took the scanner with us. It says JBE active rear spoiler, end position hall effect sensor faulty. A886/not present.
I don't known what we'll do. An other 4
5 hr drive.

Thanks for the reply!
Funny thing however they were so smart at mini that when you increase the volume of the radio it increases the volume of the chime... lol
Well luck was not on our side.. things go way worse. We were two and a half hour away from St Augustine on our drive from Pittsburgh, PA to Boynton Beach FL and had to support 2.5 hours of the chime we arrived at our stop tired and stressed. The next day I unplugged the battery and reconnected it thinking it could help reset things. Next thing you know we got all kinds of faults. No turn signal, no stop light, windows or soft top not working, ABS fault. the list goes on. We were 45 minutes away south of Jacksonville, FL. the closest mini shop. So we had to say goodbye to the car to be towed in Jacksonville. After that was the struggle to find a rental from St Augustine since tow truck would not get anyone on board with Covid.
They called us back the next day and need some module to be replaced that is under MINI extended warranty. Of course the part is on back order from Germany.
So we have to wait 3-4 more days to 1 find out if they can get the part. and 2 so they can diagnose the car :(
Good we're in Florida for 3 weeks... though 4 hours away from Jackson Ville...

Only thing i can think of is to replace the whole unit. Or remove it and get this while you can.
