Restore full lighting, window, and interior electrical functionality with our professional MINI FRM3 Footwell Module Repair Service. If your MINI Cooper suddenly lost headlights, turn signals, interior lights, mirror controls, or power windows, a failed FRM3 (Footwell Module 3) is the most common cause. This service restores your original FRM3 module for a fraction of dealership replacement costs, without the need for additional coding or programming.

The FRM3 module controls nearly all body electrical functions in MINI vehicles built from 2007–2015. When voltage drops occur—usually during a weak battery event, jump-start attempt, or power interruption—the FRM3 often becomes corrupted. This results in unresponsive windows, non-functioning lights, or complete loss of interior body electronics. Our repair process restores the FRM3’s internal software and hardware functionality so your MINI operates normally as soon as you plug it back in.

Common Symptoms of a Failed MINI FRM3 Module

  • Power windows inoperative on one or all doors
  • Headlights, fog lights, or brake lights not responding
  • Turn signals not working
  • Interior dome lights malfunctioning
  • Mirror adjustment controls unresponsive
  • No communication with the FRM3 module via diagnostic tools
  • Multiple lighting circuit error codes stored

These problems commonly occur right after a battery replacement or jump-start. MINI vehicles are known for FRM3 corruption when voltage falls below safe levels, causing the onboard EEPROM to crash. Dealerships often recommend full module replacement—which can cost $900–$1,500—but our repair restores your original FRM3 at a far lower cost.

What This MINI FRM3 Repair Service Includes

  • EEPROM recovery to unlock corrupted FRM3 modules
  • Component-level hardware repair for output and communication failures
  • Retention of original coding — no dealer programming required
  • Strengthening of weak failure points for long-term reliability
  • Full bench testing before shipment
  • 2–3 business day turnaround after module arrival
  • 4-month warranty on all repaired FRM3 units

Your restored FRM3 module will plug in and function instantly. All factory settings — including lighting configurations, window initialization, DRL settings, and lock/unlock behavior — remain intact.

Why the MINI FRM3 Fails

The FRM3 module is extremely sensitive to low voltage. A weak or failing battery, jump-starting, or disconnecting the battery at the wrong time can permanently corrupt the EEPROM data. In some cases, internal transistor or output driver failures also develop due to age and heat exposure. Our repair covers both issues — restoring software integrity and replacing faulty hardware components as needed.

Recommended Pre-Send Checklist

  • Verify fuses related to lighting and window circuits
  • Inspect for moisture in the footwell area
  • Confirm FRM3 communication issues with a diagnostic tool

If the module cannot be scanned or if multiple body functions fail at once, the FRM3 is almost always the culprit.
