Power outage MINI R56 diesel
Hi,
I have a 2008 MINI R56 Diesel that didn't start after start/stop a couple of weeks ago. When I pushed my clutch down to get it to start everything just died. No electricity anywhere. I pushed it to a gas-station and tried looking for a blown fuse in the engine compartment. Didn't find any, but when I closed the hood it came back to life. Ignition on with me outside, key in pocket.
I thought I might have solved some bad contact when I handled the fuses.
Last night when I got home and parked the car, my key wouldn't come out after shut-off. No dome-light, nothing. I figured it was the same problem. I then popped the hood, stepped out and pulled the largest fuse. Re-inserted it. Nothing. Then I figured it might have been when I closed the hood it started, so I tried that again, with just a little extra force, and the car came back to life!
Guessing I have a glitch somewhere?
The connections on the battery are obvious to check. What else?
