What electrical problems could the Mini Cooper present?
Years 2001-2007

Answer

It has been noticed and described in the online forums, by users and owners of the vehicle named in question, that suddenly the car had voltage drops, even to block the power steering, turn off the lights, the car radio, etc. By investigating the matter, it was ascertained, by going to the workshop, that these were some electrical connections that powered various components from the battery (lights, radio, control units, etc.). The connectors or cable lugs were wearing out and causing a power failure, so the solution was to replace them in the shop.
