A video to show how to remove and refit a BMW Mini Footwell module for repair, and also how to reset / re-calibrate the electric windows!
This was after a battery change on our vehicle, and the indicators and electric windows stopped working.
BMW wanted Over £350 for this job, however with a few tools and a £30 ebay FWM reset we again have a working car!
Its a very simple job for anyone to do at home!!!!
The only real tool you need is a 10mm deep socket, and maybe a flat screwdriver :)

Thanks for this. My "local" MINI dealer (2.5 hours away) wants to charge ME $180usd to diagnose this. I asked if it was something I could check before I drove all the way out and got the run around about how they really need to be the one to verify it for the recall (obviously)! Obviously they have to look at it but I'm not about to take a day or two off of work unless I know for sure that I'm coming home with a fixed car! I'll check this myself and maybe even just get it fixed myself if it will be less than $180!

Do you have to use the code reader? Stupid me only watched this video half way before I sent it off. Now my part has returned and I don’t have a code reader 🙃 Thank you for the video by the way! Very helpful 😊

We were just told by the guy who reflashed ours that it was critical we removed all the codes before replacing the module. You may get away without, but the last thing you probably want to have to do is send it off again 😂

Hi :) Ive been looking online, why are some places chatging hundreds to get this all done?

Profit I guess 😂. Costs about £35 and half hour of your own time

Mini issued a recall on them now

@rustypaint 10 күн бұрын

Only within certain years, most aren’t being recalled hence why we did ours

Just jump on eBay and look for FWM module repair, then cheapest first. It was such a long time ago I did this myself

@@rustypaint Yet it happens on Jags not to mention a lot of other car using the same/similar MCU The fact people jump cars/let the battery go flat should be designed in? lol It is within reason
