Hello, I have a question about my bmw mini one r50. I'm in the Bahamas. And I'm having intermittent starting issues where I would turn the key and only the dashboard would light up. I only get it to start after playing around with the EWS 3 box. Unplugging it, playing with the connector, taking the key in and out of the ignition. Is it really a bad EWS 3 box or is it something else? How do I troubleshoot?
