Relay? Swap them around and see if there is a difference...

There is a manual a few threads up, with wiring diagrams IRRC. Great for fault finding...

Not sure if it's like on an X1 but on those a broken earth wire gives a very similar problem ;)

Try it with a lightbulb with two wires on it (stick the wires in the fuse block)
Now you wiggle/bent the wire lome till the lightbulb lights up ,then you are on the right track to find a short or scaffed wire.

The most common places for a short or scaffed wires in the xb wiring is arround the battery tray and the steering neck.
