BMW and MINI FRM Footwell Module Repair

If your BMW or MINI has lost its lights, electric windows or mirror functions after a flat battery, jump-start, battery replacement or coding session, the fault may be in the FRM footwell module. Corrupted EEPROM memory or a short-circuit lockout can leave the module unresponsive and prevent the affected functions from operating.

Our mail-in repair service restores your existing FRM where these faults can be recovered, helping you avoid the cost of a replacement module and its associated programming. We repair and test your module before returning it for reinstallation.

Common FRM faults we repair

• No diagnostic communication with the footwell module.
• Headlights, indicators or interior lights not working correctly.
• Electric windows or mirror functions no longer responding.
• Fault code 9CBB or 009CBB relating to a short circuit.
• FRM failure following a discharged battery, jump-start or battery disconnection.
• An unresponsive module after coding or a software update.

Repair your original module

The repair addresses corrupted EEPROM data and resets short-circuit counters where required. Keeping the vehicle's original module also preserves the benefit of its existing configuration: when the repaired FRM is returned to the same vehicle, additional coding is normally unnecessary.

This service is suitable for private owners and workshops sending a removed module for repair.
