Mini Dead after stall and 1 restart. now no dash lights, good battery
So here is the story. R53 74,500 miles ....Going out for a Drive today and My Wife driving the mini stalled it at a light, Started it back up Made a High pitched wine, drove about 1 mile to a safe place and turned it off. Now when I put the key in the ignition and turn it on i get no light's on the dash, the radio does not work and the window / sunroof will not close. I got an OBD2 code reader and it reads FAIL. The battery is good. I had it Towed back to my house and I have been looking on line for answers.

I have had the car for about 3 weeks and just drove it 2000 miles with no issues .

dude the same thing happened to me, no worries. my R53 had the same miles as you and the batterie just died like that....i looked at the batterie and it still had the little green dot so i took it to the dealer and they said that something was wrong within the cells of the battery and that i would just have to replace it. i did that and everything went back to normal.

Thank you for the reply. So far I found a Bad Ignition Fuse under the hood. i moved one and all of my Dash lights came back on. now when I try to start it i get a Wine... but no crank of the engine. sounds like the Starter is not engaging the fly wheel. I had to go to work today so i did not get to look any further...

Had the same thing happen to me a few days ago. Car started just fine and after a few seconds just went all black. The indicator needles on the dash are all frozen in their last position. Put in a brand new battery today and still the same thing. BTW it's a 2005 S Convertible 6spd w/105,000 miles. Any advice?
