Sounds like a ground issue. Maybe they all are off the same grounding point. Start there. Hope that help.

Or a 'puter issue. Everything is interconencted on modern cars where they are monitored and controlled by a computer or two. So it can tell you if a tail light is burn out or your tire pressure is too low or you've had way too much garlic in lunch...

And we Classsic owners thought Lucas, Prince of Darkness gave us problems.

JoDo: you may have to bite the bullet and have a dealer hook your car's brain up to their Mother brain for a diagnosis.

Try northamericanmotoring there are a lot more active MINI owners there.

Bear in mind that I know next to nothing about cars built after 1968....

I've had a fuse box get a "green slime" on the backside causing all sorts of drama similar to what you're describing. I have no idea if moisture can get to the fuse box on one of these newer things...

No new electronics, it just all went.  Fuses are good.

start with a fuse, then move to a connector, then potentially a wire harness splice. Things don't all go at once (on new cars). Has any of the electrical been messed with, i.e. new stereo? I've seen wipers come on with a stereo in a truck after 'work' was done.
