I just got my 1st Mini and was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the features that are so different from my Explorer. This video helped make it make sense. Thanks! 😊
Thank you brother! I have a 2011 clubman s. I had the same exact issue with the fog light w/the warning light. I’m very surprised that there wasn’t any CCID for my coolant problem. Online it says I should see a red thermostat. Have yet to see it. I actually had a major problem this past summer with the coolant. Took it too a mini dealership and they “fixed” the problem with a new coolant tank and something else. I pick it up, go shopping,come back to my 2011 clubman s and the coolant is all over the ground. EMPTY Take it back they fix it and I’m good UNTIL NOW starting DECEMBER 2024 because the car has started overheating after about a half hr. driving to work. All ready put an entire container of coolant. Getting it fixed real soon at an independent mechanic that does just MINI’s. They did my fuel pump and she drives beautifully now. Thanx again.
Just bought one thank god for channels like this this I’ve always driven classics and the most technology I’ve had has been a electric windows I feel like I’m in a space ship 🤣😂🤣😂😆
omg thank you so much! I just got a Mini Cooper Countryman, the same warning sign popped up next to the mileage, just like yours. I am not sure what the problem is yet since I can't check rn, but I was thinking of taking it to the mechanic. Your video has been really helpful and saved me a lot of money. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for this video! I panicked when my light came on. After watching this, I checked and sure enough…it was very low on washing fluid! Whew! 😅
I'm struggling to find which light bulb may have a problem socket on my 2013 MC. I've carefully watched, taken notes and re-watched two of your related videos and have learned a lot. Perhaps tomorrow will be "The Day of Discovery". Your videos are very well done; informative, helpful but avoid the long monologues so commonly found on TH-cam. Thanks Zevi.
GREAT, GREAT VIDEO! Would you know why my fob doesn't beep when I lock or un lock the car? Also, the red bulb that's on top of the speedometer thingy, what is it for, I have been told it's the light for the car alarm system, but as far as I know, there isn't one. I hav a 2015 mini Paceman!
The beep would only happen on cars equipped with an alarm, it means you have armed the alarm. Same with the red light aka the heartbeat, it blinks when the alarm is on. Probably 95% of 2nd Gen Mini’s don’t have alarms, I’ve only ever worked on 2 that have alarms
Appreciate the video! This helped me figure out what this little light is all about and how to fix it. It has been driving me nuts ever since I bought this car. Extremely helpful, thanks again!
Very helpful. New subscriber. I went to the link you thoughtfully supplied, opened it up in my phone browser, and added it to my home screen. Thank you very much!
Had one on mine for a year, bmw recalled mine for a heat shield free of charge and mentioned it. Would be nice to get rid of it, thanks for the heads up
Ok I got a question but see I have a 2017 camry it wasn't turned on till I got home when I open the door it'll flash but if I close the Door it Won't flash just when I turn off the car and open the door it'll notify me
I don’t know about a first gen like yours, I feel like they would be mechanical as in you physically move it. If not I recently found mine if I twist the knob more it will fold the mirrors in
Car on lift symbol means it needs attention/service. If it’s a yellow version it’s usually just service If it’s red it’s usually saying there is a fault that needs to be fixed immediately
@@zevisgarage ok thanks, i thought maybe you could disregard the issue but i guess not. i have ccid 128 & 130 which are highbeam malfunctions in both the left and right, however i replaced my head lights and they seem to be working but the highbeams have little power. they look dimmer than the low beams. have you ever seen or heard of this issue before, and do you have any suggestions? i have a base mini cooper 2009
Hey zevis. I recently got a 2010 mini cooper sport. I mean yesterday. It was used and got it for a good price, but. I was driving it, and the break light came on. I'm going to bring it to the shop to have someone look at it but haven't yet because im wordering if it's something simple. Do you have any idea why that is?
I have that light on, BUT I also have the larger yellow exclamation mark in the triangle on the dash that is illuminated. Will it go away as well whenever I correct whatever the messages are?
had light malfunction light come on. Code CCID-136 left brake light I had a mechanic change the bulb and yet the malfunction light and triangle has not disappeared, Any idea why it didn't clear? Thanks
Sometimes the warning will stay if your footwell module is failing. I had the same with my countryman, I replaced bulb but warning was still there. Had more issues and replaced FRM and warning was gone. That being said sometimes the connector or housing gets melted and also causes the warning
Hello! I am planning on purchasing my very first Mini JCW on December, i am still doing my research in regards to the long term reliability. Kindly let me know how reliable your Mini has been or the reliability of Mini Cooper in general. Thank you
I’ve had a total of 6 Mini’s. First 3 are really solid, one has had several super expensive issues like ecu failure, clutch broke, etc. amongst other electrical issues. Last two are new to me, one of those two is getting scrapped, the other I’ll be keeping and is in good condition. It really depends on the year and model, people love 3rd gens for reliability but they aren’t as fun as 2nd gens. Just look at the service records for your car and have it inspected
When you cycle through the menu and do the CCID part it will show you on the same screen. Just tap the BC button on turn signal again and you might see another warning or it will just say next or something
Are the warnings always displayed or can they also disappear after a view of seconds? So I mean, if warnings disappear after a few seconds, the problems are still there, aren't they?
Only displayed for a few seconds...yes the problems are still there. By it disappearing most people just see the triangle instead of the actual warnings leading to that
Here’s a link to the CC-ID codes list. This is a better list than the one in the video.

I've just literally subscribed to your channel. Yey, thanks for your vids they are much help.
Thank you I never knew that was how to figure those warning lights!
Cheers!
Thanks very much, I just bought a mini and it has that warning.
If you replace any lights with LEDs (R56) you'll get a warning because the lack of load fools the computer into thinking the light has burned out.
Interesting. I did replace my license plate bulbs with LEDS...
I used my Carly coder to remove the voltage sensors on the headlights so I don’t get that
Thanks, I couldn't see any lights out b7t still had the warning, I've only just bought the car so no doubt they've probably been changed at some point
Extremely helpful!!!! THANK YOU 🙏🏾
I have bimmercode, could you make a video on how you coded your R56 for LEDs
Yes, I’ll film that soon. For the headlights or the sidemarker lights?

Man this is so helpful thanks a lot like for real and I noticed it was your fog light
Great video.. Great system when you know how it works. Without this video I wouldn't have had a clue
I have the exact same color car mines a 2010 been having problems myself will definitely use this thank you so much
Thank you so informative and precise🙏🏼
Thx, a very useful video.
The light indicator was for the driver side marker light above the fog light
great video very well made n helpful keep it up youll be the next chrisfixit
Haha that would be awesome!
What do the numbers next to that triangle mean? Not the mileage, but on the other side?
Numbers on left side are odometer. Miles on right side is miles since the warning initially showed up
Thank you!!

Does car on jack logo when starting up means service due? Guy who sold me said it was just serviced last month
Car on lift symbol means it needs attention/service. If it’s a yellow version it’s usually just service

Hey zevis. I recently got a 2010 mini cooper sport. I mean yesterday. It was used and got it for a good price, but. I was driving it, and the break light came on.

man pls help how can i see the water temperature on my mini cooper 2007
There is a hidden menu, on TH-cam there is a video somewhere. I'll probably make one soon too
Personally for me I use a Ultragauge that plugs into the OBDII socket. Plug and play with your selection of options in the menu
what does it mean if you have a number to the right? mine has 107.5
It means that’s how long the warning light has been on, as in how many miles or km
What do you do if it says all you checks are clear
It’s probably low fuel or something then
Merci beaucoup! HAVE NICE DAY FROM FRANCE!
😇👍
Have a nice evening from Los Angeles!
