2 weeks ago I installed the Snow Performance meth injection kit and controller with boost gauge instructions, to a 12V switched on the column. Yesterday while driving my tach and speedometer both died, as well as the power to my HVAC and headlights.
Nothing works on the tach except the turn signal light. I can still use cruise control but the light doesnt function.
The speedometer shows my airbag warning light, but doesnt show that my speed sensors arent working. It shows milage, but its not counting anymore.
Headlights/foglights dont work except I can activate the high beams by holding the stalk.
I recently replaced the front 2 speed sensors, and the warning light went away for 3 days.
I checked every connection on the meth injection and have found no faults. I then disconnected power to the system.
I have checked every relevant fuse in the cab, and in the engine bay.
I have removed and cleaned the ignition switch.
When starting the car the tack will climb to 2,000 then drop back to 0. The speedometer doesnt not move from 0. None of the lights other than the airbag warning function at any time.
AFAIK everything else is functional.
Edit: 8/29/2017 Im a hardcore dumbass and all it was was a 5v fuse that I somehow didnt check in the first round of testing. Also this app happened and was fixed months and months before I made this edit.
You can tell a Finn but you can't tell him much

Meth. Not even once.
Also tach is acceptable as a shortened version of tachometer. Tack is just annoying unless you’re talking about adhesives.

Can’t help you, but good luck! I loved my r53, and miss it terribly some days.

I would try taking a look/asking over at NorthAmericanMotoring, I’m sure someone over there has had this happen.
And just to get the simple questions out first, are all the connections to the clusters correct? And then I’d double check the connectors to the ECU (on my R50 it was near the battery box, I think the same for R53)

With this type of problem, like a bad car alarm install, you need to go back to stock. Remove everything and restore the wiring to as original as possible.
Look for wires that might be touching each other or other metal parts. Check for evidence of worn-through sheathing.
Check the relevant fuses with an ohmmeter to be sure they’re not burned out.
I assume you’ve been to the appropriate forums for this kit?
Good luck!

NAM is a pretty hard site to daily. Also the battery for the R53 is in the trunk.

Ive checked all the connections, removed power to the unit, and my multimeter is busted and I need to get a new one. Im trying my best with the forums, but honestly the MINI community is mostly shit.
