My wifes cooper has no spark. Everything else seems to work except the wipers. We had the car at a friends for some paint work and the battery went dead. His helper cleaned the battery cables and it wouldnt start. I went over to look at it and discovered no spark. Also found water in the cabin by the fuse box on the passenger side footwell. I Pulled the fuse box out and cleaned the white corrosion off the the fuse box connections, re-installed it and still no spark. I did a compression check and the reading were #1,40 psi,#2,150psi,#3,130psi and #4 had 150psi. The car has never given us a problem since owning it.

 

If the fuse box got corroded, i think it could be damaged. You can get another one from a donor car with same part number.

 

Would it cause no spark to all cylinders?

 

It would because the communication between the DME and the fuse box aren't properly established/faulty. I have a flooded CM that would start at times and other times it wouldn't it. I replaced the fuse box alonflg with other things (the water was a bit too high) and all is good.

Also, you could try checking the ground wire on the valve cover and on the engine mount bracket.

 

I found this one ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-Mini-C....c100290.m3507

 

I have a feeling this on is from a turbo charged one. Does it match the part number?

 

Here’s my fuse box The numbers look the same except. the 005527506

 

Which is the part number?

 

You are correct. It is a match. Go for it or if you find a cheaper one

 

Cool. Thanks

Will I have to do any programing once I get it installed?

 

In general, it will do the work and function normally. You could program it later at anytime using Winkfp and NCS expert or ISTA/P.

 

Ok thanks

 

Well I installed the fuse box I bought off ebay. Hit the starter and she fired right up. Now I need to figure out why water got in the car.

 

 

Good job brother

 

Got a sunroof? check the drains, clogs resulting in water in the car is a common problem.
