Electrical issues We replaced the radio in the mini and started to have problems with the wipers not working and the windows not working? The original radio showed disabled so instead of paying hundreds to have BMW restore it we replaced it. Might the wiring harness for the radio be interlinked with other things causing the wipers and windows to not work or is it just bad timing and an different problem?

Yes, that is a major electrical issue. You need a good local auto-electrician with a pro grade $5,000 scan tool computer. It will check all the modules and diagnose the issue. Probably multiple modules. They can also run live data and record whilst the vehicle is being driven.

I have a 2003 Town and Country mini-van and I lost power to all my ... In addition to this my wipers, headlight controls, blinker controls, power door locks, and A/C/heat controls are out as well. The odd thing is that the power windows work, the power sideview mirrors work, the radio and ceiling lights also work.

It sounds like you have a grounding issue somewhere. Look up a fuse diagram for the cabin fuse panel. Start from there.

You have a IPM (integrated power module) but this is in the engine fuse junction box,It is obvious you have a bad connection,For the radio,wiper and window, it needs a ground, Has someone replace the transmission?look along the transmission see if all the ground connection are there,You are not dealing with a B+ problem but a ground issue

The problem is electrical and I think the there may be an issue with the PRINDL display creating a short .

jeep ( just enough engine power ) lol my brother had the same problems with his jeep we just ended up replacing most of the wiring and fuse box our selfs.

did you manage to fix this problem as i'm having the same problems. the car had a flat battery so tried jump starting it but no luck, replaced battery but can only get headlights/windscreen wipers/passenger window and hazards to work. car won't start and alot of the interior controls are dead, i've checked fuses (replaced 2)

This could be a combination of electrical issues, although i feel that the timing is coincidence in this case. When the combination is elec. windows, wipers, and dome lights this is indicative of the GEM module located behind your radio. The GEM (generic electronic module) is an electronic body control module that regulates electrical flow through a number of accessories.

These factory module boards are notorious for acting quirky by failing to ground intermittently until failing completely. I would be cautious in replacing ignition switches, locks, etc. as the issue can be also compounded by corrosion of the main battery ground wire in the engine compartment and which can cause frying of your under dash wiring into the main wiring harness which can get expensive (i speak from experience having had the exact same syptoms). My issues were that these symptoms occurred only in full ON. When in key BACK ACC mode, they disappeared.

New price for one of these modules is around $280-$300 and easily replaced.

Good Luck

You need to see a dealer, no other solution for this.
