Electrical Problem, windows, headlights, interior lighting

2011 Mini Cooper Countryman


Help! I took my car to an independent mechanic to change out the clutch and now I'm having electrical problems. He tried clearing it all with his handy little plug in computer thingy but windows won't go up, headlights won't go off, my dash lights won't go on, my turn signals don't work, and my interior lighting doesn't work. My mechanic checked the fuses and everything seems to be fine.


I have searched all the forums here and I've already tried resetting the windows by holding them in the up position, I checked my Mini Connect system and that doesn't work. My Nav has never worked and now this. Yeesh!


Any suggestions??

How old is your battery? Low battery can cause weird problems...

Hi - I honestly don't know how old the battery is. I bought the car last year and it was in the car. However, everything was working fine before the clutch was replaced.

I have been reading a lot of threads and someone said I should check the FRM3 module. I already spoke to my mechanic and he's going to check it on Saturday. I'll have him check the battery too.

+1 on the battery and getting that checked , when the battery is low allot of crazy electrical things happen.

The FRM has been SS a bunch of time on the Countryman. There is one for adaptive headlight option and one without.
