For something like this, we would recommend the MINI service department....

Hi guys,
I'm coming to you hat in hand here hoping someone might be able to help. I recently bought a 2009 Cooper S from someone nearby and I've absolutely fubarred it. The guy I got it from had really beat on it, but that was built into the price and I knew how to fix most of the problems and thought it would be a fun project. I took it home and got right to work on it.
So far I've fixed:
Turbo oiler and coolant lines with replacement seals (had the whole damn front end off)
Endless electrical gremlins
Replaced the heat shield on the turbo (the guy thought it looked cooler without..)
Subsequently replaced the valve cover gasket and seal (it was cooked from the turbo )
Vacuum pump gasket
Catch can
Cabin noisemaker delete (because why is that a thing?)
I finally got to one of my last fixes which was going to be the stage one fan. I found a post somewhere about a fix for the stage one fan, because the resistor tends to go often, but you could jump from the stage one relay to the stage two relay with the same type of resistor in between. This was a work around to constantly replacing the fan. This worked flawlessly, but I managed to mess it up after. As I was testing this, I managed to ground the dme relay signal (not the line to the fan) to a nearby bolt. The car promptly shut down, and hasn't started since. I've gotten maybe 20 minutes behind the wheel of this car, and now its a door stop!
What I've deduced probly happened was the CAS system thinks I was trying to steal the car? I Honestly do not know. It cranks very strong, but will not turn over.
I've tested:
Every fuse
Every relay (click test & Ohm test)
I got inpa working in german only, but couldnt find the sync CAS to DME function (R56 N14 is impossible to sort out due to some sort of corruption of the english med17_2N files floating around. I tried Bcables, Mikes easy tools, and another seedy copy. Nothing)
>>>>>MAYBE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS GERMAN CAN REMOTE INTO MY COMPUTER AND TRANSLATE??<<<<
I then tried Ista+ to no avail. For some reason syncing was not an option. I've only tried one version that came pre-loaded on a VM though. I'll have to try another, but it's such a big file!
I'm using a K+DCAN cable to connect to the OBD without any issues.
I'm not getting any faults from the car. All the ECU's are responding except for the ones that were tied to the stereo (It has an aftermarket unit)
The ECUs are mostly ORANGE though. When I run them in ISTA+ they come back with no faults?
Also, there is no communication between the ABS and the SZL ECU, but i don't think that could cause this.
Please, for the love of deity, can someone help me figure out what's wrong with this car? I just want to drive it a little bit..
