2008 Mini Cooper r56. Was driving fine yesterday, this morning it wouldnt start, wouldnt turn over at all, and the dashboard is completely dead. 

I can manually turn on the overhead lights, the glove compartment light comes on, the power key works, horn works, but dash is lifeless.

I just put a new battery a few weeks ago, I've tested all the fuses and none seem fried. I have 2 large 5 pole relays in the engine fuse box but I dont know how to test those.

I have maxed out my car repair knowledge. I would very much appreciate some help.
Thanks,

Cory

I have heard of problem with body control modules, not sure of the years. We have some junkyards in our area that will sell modules by the pound, could just replace some stuff, cleaning connections along the way.
