Mini Cooper R56 Completely Dead

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on December 6, 2020

I drove mini cooper R56 for a very short distance for about 4 minutes, the whole car died completely. The battery was working fine, everything else seemed fine but the car died altogether.

Observations: All electronics systems seem dead, no light when I open the door, no unlocking by key FOB, no sparking when battery is jumped (eventhough battery is fine, tested several times, which indicates open loop)

Prior Issues: The car was hissing while acceleration due to spark plugs being worn out and I have already had them purchased but didnt get chance to replace.

To be honest this have happened once in the past but all electronics came back to life after 4 hours automatically but I couldnt diagnose what has happened.

Question: Could ECU have shut down all the electronics as a safety measure? Or could this be due to some electric trip somewhere in the circuit or could this be BCM?


Update: Found someone else also experiencing exactly similar issue in Mini Forum, but unfortunately no valid solution so far.

One Answer

Tested by auto electrician. POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX CONTROL MODULE was bad that takes the power from the battery and passes on. Not sure how exactly is this module different from the fuse box next to wheel well.
