    I have a 2010 Clubman S 6-spd. Odd thing that happened is that I started it up and a "check vehicle" light came on, engine running normally, however, I now have no turn signals/indicators, fog lights, head lights, possibly tail lights and windows are not working as well. I checked all fuses and all check out good, along with the battery is brand new. Battery does not seem to be draining like I would have a grounding issue. issue is still there. Not sure what to look at next...

    Any Suggestions? Thank you.

    Do you have a sunroof? Sometimes the sunroof drain comes off and water leaks onto the body control module in the passenger footwell and shorts it out. It is on the right side just in front of the door pillar. That could cause the issues you are having. Take the trim in the foot well off and check for water damage. You might be able to clean it up by spraying contact cleaner on the circuit board, but it is more likely that you will need to get another body control module.

    This is where it is.
