The Footwell Module 3 (FRM3) is a vital electronic control unit for BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce vehicles. It controls essential functions like electric windows, exterior lights, and interior lighting.
When the Footwell Module 3 fails—often after a battery swap or software update—it can leave your car with dead lights or non-working windows. We offer professional Footwell Module 3 repair services to fix software corruption and internal damage. This restores the unit to full function without the high cost and complex coding required for a new module.
What is the Footwell Module 3 and Why Does It Fail?
The Footwell Module 3 is usually located in models from 2007 onwards (E-series and R-series). It acts as the central control unit for the body electronics. It commonly fails because its internal memory (EEPROM) gets corrupted, leading to a state often called “bricked.”
Common Symptoms of a Failed Footwell Module 3:
- Headlights, tail lights, or side markers remain constantly stuck on or off.
- Electric windows do not respond or operate incorrectly.
- Turn signals (indicators) fail to function.
- Central locking or interior lighting issues.
- Diagnostic tools cannot communicate with the Footwell Module 3.
