Hope this is the right thread...
My mini an R56 / Cooper S with 180k miles.

Situation: I was driving and the AC blower stopped working. Also, I noticed the sport mode was off too. Then I started to check everything in the car and wipers front/back also are not working.

Any information will be appreciated.

 

check the fuses in the fuse box behind the passenger kick panel. and check for water intrusion.

 

Also, check the condition of your battery. If older than 3 years, replace it.

 

Thank you! I received the same suggestion from couple friends. Already looked into the box and and found no water.

 

the current battery is probably close to 4 years now. I will scan the computer next week. So wish me luck. I will share th results.
Thank you for the suggestion.

 

I doubt the front wiper not functioning has anything to do with the battery as it is a safety feature. This of course does not mean that the battery may not have gone bad (possibly causing the other issues), but prior to ditching a four (or even three!) year old battery, I would first check whether it is in fact bad, especially if it happens to be an AGM battery. FWIW, my Mini (built in November 2010) still has the factory battery in it, with no issues whatsoever.

Quote from newtis:
Switch-off of individual consumers or power consumption reduction > only for vehicles with high equipment and IBS

On vehicles with IBS, consumers may be reduced or even switched off altogether, even if the engine is running. While driving, only consumers that are not safety-related and not readily perceptible are reduced or switched off altogether, e.g.: pulsing of the heated rear window or pulsing of the seat heating, reduction of the blower electric motor by a fraction etc. In the case of vehicles with diesel engines, the power consumption of the electric auxiliary heater is adjusted.

The shutdown of individual consumer units or reduction of the power consumption lowers the power consumption in critical situations. This prevents the battery from discharging.

Consumer shutdown is only activated under two preconditions:

• Battery charge state in the critical range
• Alternator subjected to full load
