Mini Relays diagram for Cooper, Cooper Paceman, Cooper Countryman

An accessory power relay is an electrical component that controls the power supply to various vehicle accessories, such as the radio, power windows, or interior lights. It acts as a switch, using a low-current signal to control a higher-current circuit, ensuring reliable operation without overloading the ignition switch. By managing accessory power, the relay helps improve electrical system efficiency and protects sensitive circuits.

• Accessories not functioning, such as radio or windows failing to power on.
• Intermittent operation of powered components, caused by failing relay contacts.
• Clicking noises or no response from the relay when accessories are engaged.

About Genuine Mini

The original parts used by Mini to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mini” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mini, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mini Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mini are not necessarily manufactured by Mini. No cause for concern, as Mini designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mini for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mini parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mini logo.
