I hope I have this in the right place.


Hello, I have a 2008 r56 mini cooper s. As a fyi, I had to swap the fuse box earlier this year for a non seat related issue, ( fuse box swap didn't fix the issue ) Scene then the seat warmers didn't work after the fuse box swap. So I though i'd start there. I have power at fuse #39 and #40 https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/r...s-side/ctU5vsz , no power at fuse #32. Also the used box is missing fuse # 41 https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/r...-fuse/6qPQq4dy and it works the pass seat heat module. I have put a fuse in that slot but there is no tabs for the fuse to be used in that slot and the fuse falls out. So any thoughts as what to do next ? The lights above the heater switches do not light up at all. Should I swap the old box back in, or further figure out why I don't have power at fuse #32

thx for any help

 

Not all fuse boxes are the same amd even then, you need to code it to the car with these options. Examine the old box for water damage, if it used to power passenger seat and not driver, swap the heating modules under the seats. These modules are pretty cheap if it turned out to be that.

 

thanks, I did all the water leak checks when I did the fuse box last jan for the fuel pump not working. the old ( original fuse box ) is in and the heated seats work again now to fix the heat shield above the muffler.
