I thought all 3 outlets (front, rear seat, and rear hatch) were dead on the 2011 MINI Countryman S I just bought. I was mistaken. I believe that makes it a Gen2 R60. I found out the hard way that the vehicle does in fact have to be running (key in, accessories / radio on and playing is not good enough to check the 12v outlets). My rear seat outlet is dead. Front and rear hatch area outlets are in fact fine.

The reason I was chasing this down is that my Nav/Media Joystick is dead. No light, home and page buttons don't work, no reaction from the joystick at all. Wasn't sure if it was getting power. The USB port is getting power and I verified that F44 and F45 are good and have power. So, tomorrow in daylight I'll take apart that center console and see what the voltage is on pins 1 and 2 of the joystick module connector. If there is 12V there and the joystick is dead, then that likely means a new Joystick.

So, I am trying to figure out if the joystick and the rear seat power outlet share any common points.


What are these two relays for? I think the bottom one is for either fuel or parking lights maybe? (It was warm with the ignition in accessory mode, and both of those systems were triggered based on what I was doing.)
The top one, is that the bi stable relay?

I was able to use Mitchell1 to verify that all 3 power outlets are in fact on Fuse F44 and I was able to see that the Mini Joystick gets its power from F45. Both of those fuses are good, so maybe I'll fire up the ol' parts cannon and take a risk on a Joystick Module and see if that does the trick. :/

 

Having this same issue on 2017 Mini convertible. It was working and then one day just stopped. I REALLY don't want to take it to the dealership to have them charge me 100 bucks to fix a $2.00 problem. Can someone repost the answer if it was given?

 

Check the fuse first. They blow because people drop things into them and they short and damage.
