Weird Electrical Problem 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman S

I have a 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman S R55 with the N14 engine and I’m having some weird electrical issues. When I shut the car off a whole bunch of relays in the passenger side kick start clicking out of control and my tail lights stay on. If I disconnect the battery for a few minutes it seems to temporarily reset the problem. However, usually within a week or so it starts doing it again. Additionally, my key fob no longer charges so I have no keyless entry functionality. Help!!! How can I fix this?

Get the battery and alternator checked. Sounds like a battery not holding it's charge, or an alternator not providing enough current to keep the battery charged. A weak battery can cause all sorts of unusual problems.

replace the fuse box after you check it for water intrusion/corrosion.
