Where is the Fuse to What?
Posted by murmini Thu, 11 Jan 2007 01:05:57 GMT
mab01uk, a regular poster on MINI2.com, a UK-based MINI site, just answered all your fusing and grounding questions in a great post. He has listed all of the MINI's fuses, relays and ground points (earth points if your from my home country!) and provided them in an easy to read list here. I should note that the 'passenger compartment' fuse box that he refers to is in the driver's foot-well in export left-hand drive vehicles. Nice Job!
As you say Murray – excellent info; I’ll need to crosspost a link on GBMINI so it’s in my searchable database …
(not that I can’t search yours, Murray!)
where can i find the fuse for the headlamp beam throw adjustment on a cooper 2002 ? Mine seems to have stopped working and i dont know if its a fuse or something else, any help appreciated, many thanks Terry pls reply to erb777@ntlworld.com if you can.
Right here on murmini.com ! It looks like FL8 / FL 12 in the engine compartment fusebox.
Hope this helps.
is there a relay for the romote door lock? I replaced #37 20 amp fuse but still will not work. replaced the key battery today also…ng
No I am afraid the days of relays for such systems is long gone. This is all controlled by the General Module BC-1 along with a bunch of other functions. See here. You really need to have a dealer of reputable service shop take a peek at the diagnostics that BC-1 sends out and go from there.
I think that I may have a bad fuse because my drivers side window is not working. There is no clicking sound as described in some other posts that I have read, so I think it could be a fuse and not the motor. Where is the fuse located in the car? It’s a mini cooper S 2003. Thanks
The fusebox is on the left-hand side of the footwell on a US MINI, just forward of the driver’s door. There is a small vertical panel you can pry open. The fuse for the windows is F1 and is 30 amp for the left hand window, and F19 30 Amp for the right-hand window.
Started my 03 copper S last night and battery light came on, also no power steering. Belt is ok. Alternator problem? could it be a fuse? How came I check output of alternator to see if it is ok?
My wiper stopped working in my 2002 mini. I want to check the fuse, but am not sure which one to check. Any help would be appreciated.
Well the article above will direct you to the page of fuses here then simply search for Wipers. You did not say which wiper is not working. F9, FL50 and F17
The front running lights dont work.Changed the bulbs, REAR LIGHTS WORK.IS THERE SEPERATE FUSE FOR THE FRONT+BACK IF SO, WHAT NUMBER IS IT?I HAVE A 2003 MODEL. THANKS DAVE
Dave: Unfortunately, its not that simple. The side or running lights are controlled by the General or BC Module. This is located in the right of the floor well on the passenger side (USA model). Yo may want to check connections are sound and that there are no signs of water intrusion (was an issue in some earlier models). Sorry I can’t be of more help.
I HAVE A 2008 MINI CONVERTIBLE CAR NEITHER THE FRONT OR THE BACK CIGARETTE LIGHTER WORKS,IT JUST STOP LAST WEEK,I CHECKET THE FUSES UNDER THE BONNET, THEY ARE GOOD. SHOULD I CHECH THEM UNDER MY LEFT FOOT AND WHAT NO. WOULD THEY BE. BETTY
Betty: The fuse your looking for is in the fuse box to the left of the driver’s foot well (USA model). It is fuse F32 for the front cigar lighter. If the back one is not working as well that seems odd. What are you plugging in?
hi i hope you can help me, my mini 2002 after disconnect battery and then connect it the computer info in the tachometer not appear anymore but the display is illuminated, please help me.
Alex, not really sure I can be of any help. You need to make sure it is connected properly and then seek some diagnostic help from someone with a system tester. Sorry
The computer display on the tachometer on my 2004 Mini goes out and then comes back on after a few minutes. Sometimes it works correctly for weeks and then goes black. The tach continues to work and the brake light seems to work.
Very hard to say what it is, but sounds like either a fault within tacho or a poor connection. Worth checking Fuses for instrument cluster are seated ok (look in the Electrical page on this site), otherwise something in the instrument control itself. Sorry can’t be more help.
My passenger side window suddenly stopped working. I have checked the fuse (F19) and it is good. Any thoughts other than the motor itself. Thank You
If you have checked the fuse and made sure its ok and seated correctly. Look on my Fuses Page and make certain your checking the correct fuse.
my 2003 mcs cruise control will not work—i push the button on the steering wheel and the green cruise control light blinks twice then goes off..anyone know why and what i can do to fix it
Yes, you need to have a diode, that is part of the brake sensor circuit, replaced. The cruise control keeps thinking that your brakes are being activated and it simply turns the cruise control off. Simple job that the dealer can do.
I have a ‘05 mini cooper S with sunroof. It has been discovered that the battery box has taken on water. I have not been able to determine where this water is coming from. Possibly the sunroof drain channels are plugged. The battery box, the BST cables ( trunk to front bay) and the fuse box assembly all have experienced severe corrosion and need to be replaced. Do you have any thoughts on why I would be accumulating water in my rear battery box?
Tough call without poking about in the compartment. I think your right though unless there is any water leaking in from the top or sides of the rear door. I am sure its a small leak that has just accumulated. Short of pouring some food colouring in to trace it its going to be tough to find. Other possibilities of the source of the leak may be around the break lights (accessible through the rear pull out panels) or even the bottom of the battery box where water could come up, for example if you use a car wash with an undercarriage wash. I think there is a seal in the bottom of the box so check that. You may need to pull up the carpet and climb in the back while someone gets aggressive outside the car with a hose pipe. Good Luck and let us know your findings. (The rest of you go and check your battery compartments!)
Thanks a boatload, you’ve been a terrific help. I know all this information must be somewhere in my Bentley manual, but damn me if I could find it.
Where is the fuse for the headlights located on a 02 mini. Under the hood or inside? Thx
I am showing it as FL8 in the Engine compartment. Take a look in the owners manual or the Fuse Box cover, it has a diagram as well.
Hi i have a Mini Cooper of 2006 and a Classic IPOD 32Gb. I have been having issues with the cigarette lighter fuse as it keeps blowing. I do not use the IPOD constantly but for a max of 2 hours per day and then i disconnect the cable from the cigarette lighter. Mini is saying that everything is fine from Mini but that it is the IPOD which is heating up! Mini keeps changing the fuse to a higer or lower voltage without coming with a real fix for the problem. I have been using this IPOD for over 2 years in the same car! I have changed 10 fuses so far. Any advice please?
I would think that there is something critically wrong with either your cable (its been damaged in someway) or your iPod. Sorry I can’t say much more. test the cable and the iPod in another vehicle maybe?
Wonder if you could please provide the location of the diode that fixes an inoperative cruise control
hi ive just changed the battery on my 2004 mini cooper but only 1 rear and 1 side indicator work none at the front at all many thanks
I have just replaced the front brake pads on my 2004 Mini Cooper and the brake pad censor, however the tyre pressure and ABS warning lights have come on and will not go out,is it a fuse problem?
well Pete i cant understand simply changing the front brake pads and new sensor, since then the 2 No warning lights have come on the dash, tyre pressure and ABS warning lights, not sure why even though the tyre pressures are perfect and the ABS seems fine. What doI look for?
