2005 Mini Cooper 1.6 r50
So I’ve been diagnosing my gf mini for 2 weeks to no success, I changed her disks/pads 2 weeks ago and the car rolled off the jack, the jack went up between the fuel tank and the chassis on the rear left of the car, I beleive it caught the plug for the abs sensor, since then her speedo has been turning on and off very dramatically and all the warning lights blink on and off, sometimes it settles to a frozen speed and just has the abs and tyre flat lights on, upon scanning the abs unit with an obd reader I got an 5df7 code which states that the abs-dsc system sees >18V, upon seeing this I checked her battery voltage which was sitting at 13v with the car turned off, I also noticed the battery is leaking(only a week old brand new battery) when the car is running at idle it sits at 12.5V and when we rev the car afew times and get the speedo to go haywire again the voltage spikes over 19v to the battery, I tried unplugging the abs plug I beleive to have caught and the car runs fine under 3k revs no possesed spedo, I forgot the mention the abs plug and wiring looked fine, if anyone knows how to diagnose a short inside the abs wiring I’d be appreciative, now with the plug unplugged it only sees the short above 3-4k revs, have I blown the regulator in the alternator with a damaged abs plug? Or have I possibly damaged the wiring from the abs plug to the front of the car and this is still shorting even thou the actual abs sensor is unplugged, I don’t know how it lasted 2 weeks periodically charging the battery at 19v and didn’t blow up the battery 😂 any help appreciated
