Mini Cooper R56 R60 FRM3R Footwell Light Module 6135 3457429-01 - Used Original Part

Diagnosis and Common Symptoms

The FRM3R (Footwell Module) is the central nerve center for your Mini’s body electronics, managing everything from exterior lighting to power window regulation. When these modules fail—frequently due to voltage spikes during a jump-start or battery replacement—the vehicle often enters a "limp home" lighting mode. You will likely experience headlights that stay on constantly with the ignition, a total loss of indicator/turn signal function, and windows that refuse to move. On a diagnostic scanner, you will typically find a "No Communication" error with the FRM, or fault codes such as 9CAB (One-time internal hardware fault). If your cabin lights are dead and the OBDII port cannot ping the module, this Genuine replacement is the required solution.

Introduction

This is a Genuine used FRM3R module that has been professionally extracted and bench-tested to ensure the internal processor is fully responsive. Unlike many salvaged units that may have hidden data corruption, this module has undergone a rigorous verification process by a senior technician to ensure all lighting circuits are operational. By selecting a tested Genuine part, you are restoring your Mini's electrical integrity with hardware designed specifically for your chassis’s power consumption and communication protocols.
