Mini One Lighting Fault

I am experiencing a fault in the car lighting of my 2004 Mini One. The lights switch on, and an error is stored in the error memory. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection of the component. Could this be the reason?

Summary of the thread

A 2004 Mini One is experiencing a lighting fault, with lights turning on and an error stored in the memory. The suspected cause is a defective cable or plug connection. A suggestion was made to check the dimmer switch and tail lights, but ultimately, it was recommended to take the car to a workshop. The issue was confirmed to be related to the cable or plug connection and was repaired at the workshop.

Faulty light switches can be tricky. Have you checked the dimmer switch? Sometimes a bad dimmer can cause strange lighting issues, including affecting the tail lights. Does the error memory specify which car switch is causing the problem?

Thanks for the quick response. The error message is not very specific, only that there is a fault in the lighting. How can I check the dimmer switch and tail lights for an electrical problem? Is there a specific procedure to follow?

Based on your description and the error code, a defective cable or plug connection is the likely cause. I had a similar electrical problem with my car once, and it turned out to be a corroded connector. However, tracing electrical faults can be time-consuming. I would recommend taking it to a workshop.

Thank you for the confirmation. The issue was indeed the cable or plug connection of the component. The car lighting was repaired at the workshop for 95€.
