All Gauges dead, Service light on

[Ghaniba]

Hey folks,

My GF and I picked up a 2008 Cooper S a couple months ago, and we really like it. This am, she hopped in the car as usual off to work - none of the gauges worked. Evidently, the radio eventually came on for her? So no speedo, no tach, no lights on the dash. The real bad part is no heat / climate control. Zero problems with any gauges before this am. 20 mins into her commute the light came on that I'm guessing is a service indicator? Perhaps a check engine light equiv?

She said the car itself seems to be running just fine...








Since the car is just out of warranty @ 38k, where would one start with this? Is there a master fuse for the whole interior?

For what it's worth, we've seen other little electrical gremlins - a flashing headlight when it was really cold (HID setup) and the dome light hasn't worked since we got it.

Thanks for any thoughts,

Dave

Well, now Ive gotten to actually see it.... There's a burning scent in the car that is very strong. Any thoughts on these codes?

Hi ya

Is this any help in the link they talk about a body earth there a PDF shows you the location. Might be worth checking, also the battery. Also it might be worth disconecting the DME and make shore the terminals are ok
On the r53's we have problems with the body control unit might be worth checking to
