Help!
My ‘03 mini is having issues. The control panel for ac turns off, the windshield wipers turn on whenever, the radio turns off, and it shoots the windshield fluid forwards. I don’t know if it is just a fuss or a bigger problem.

Have your battery tested. A weak battery tends to create issues in older MINIs.

X2
Also make sure when it is running, it is making at least 14 Volts. BMW wants it at 14.2 to 14.5 volts!

I guess it is time to look for ground faults, if it is making good voltages.

Yep check the main grounds and that strap might be loose and on and off.
