Replaced the bulb (Sylvania H7) & also tried exchanging the working bulb from the right low beam. Didn't fix it. Checked the 4 fuses that control the lights (40, 57, 100, 167). All look good. Still not working. The light bulb wires look like new. Is there a relay used for the lights? Read on Bimmerpost that there isn't one and the lights are controlled by the FEM. Any other suggestions on what to check? Thanks
No, I haven't. No one has come forward with suggestions yet so I'm now going to replace the fuses despite them looking OK and assume there is no relay for the headlights. I'm with you... trying to avoid the dealership if I can. I still am waiting for them to schedule the fix for the recall issued last October.
Brian H7 bulbs are halogen bulbs and do not have a ballast on them... im dealing with this issue myself i've gone through the fuses and they're good testing for voltage at the bulb connection getting nothing so far. Will update to see what i find
That's because your red wire is not supposes to go to red w/green I believe because it constant it must go on a signal like wire for example cigarettes light socket or fuse box
While driving the radio stopped working. The CD inlet works but the display is black and there is no sound coming from the radio. Later I found out that also the rear parking sensors are not working, but thats probably because i dont hear any sound from the radio. I checked the fusebox behind the glove panel but everything seems fine, no blown fuses. I checked the PDC module in the rear right side of the trunk to check for wiring damages or water/moisture damage, didnt find anything.
I am about to change the radio for a aftermarket carplay system and see what is does.
Does anyone have experience with this or similar issues?
Ok So i have an E36 320i,1993,manual gearbox , which i really really really love , that have a problem, suddenly it stops and dont starts back, its not the battery , nor the antitheft alarm, i even tried to jump start the battery it never worked out any ideas why this happens ? Thank for your replies guys.
My navigation is not correct, my position of the car shows I'm somewhere else. But my BMW app on my iPhone shows where my car is correctly. How is that?
Seems all 3 series have this problem, my car the same wont start i checked all, even the battery, antitheft alarm,i unpluged the battery and pluged, it again , tried to jump start it, nothing worked out. I changed the gaz pump too months ago still have the same problem. I think its an electrical issue, maybe have a timer. 😂
Change your “hedgehog”
Open your glove box, along the closing trim you will see torx screws, take em out. At the bottom there will be a spinning heater, you twist it and it comes out. The heater has this metal heat sink on top of it, take it off and replace it with a new one or either get a used one from a junkyard its like 5$. It could be that its shortening for you?
Though for me my heater just died, but on max blowing it worked poorly. I just changed the entire whole heater.
My screen for idrive. Tried button reset power and radio. Tried all fuses. Disconnected negative for 30 min. Still wont turn on. Radio is stuck on one station. Cant play cds. 2014 320 ix drive n20
Can i check for anything else? lose wires? as soon as i finished getting car inspected it happened. Coincidence?
Same with my car. I was eventually told I had to replace the entire iDrive part, which was quoted at 1k. I swear to you I just bought two JBL mid-sized speakers, put them in the backseat- they link up with JBL's sync technology- and it has been okay to at least have some form of audio while driving. I miss being able to see my TPM and other stats on my screen though
Originally went to garage for a service and to fix my drivers door lock, it would make a big crackling noise everytime it would lock.
Told it was the door actuator
Replaced.
Took it from the garage got home unplugged the key fob
Got out all the windows came down. Ignition on, put the windows up except the rear drivers side didn’t go up waited a while and it went back up but everytime I go to get out the car they keep going down. Very annoying and car won’t actually lock.
Going back to the garage tomorrow with wet seats 🤣 but would like to know what people’s thoughts are?
I did take out the 3 window fuses. rear windows don’t come down now but front two still do.
Will keep you guys updated and add a video tomorrow maybe
Das Radio funktionierte einwandfrei, aber nach dem Batteriewechsel wird der Aux-Eingang nicht mehr erkannt. Wie kann ich das Originalradio in meinem BMW 320i (Baujahr 2006) zurücksetzen?
Can't figure out the 5 digit code for the radio. Anyone can help me out that knows the code or where to research it without having to pay for it? Please and thank you
So this is weird. I've not seen this in any vehicles I've worked on. So after replacing main water supply line and thermostat the car is overheating. But with the thermostat out of the car it doesn't over heat. The thermostat is right out of the box. I put it in a pan turned up the heat once it got to the right temp the thermostat opened as it should did that to ensure it was working before putting it in the car. But the car still over heats. And again without the thermostat it does not overheating! I'm confused as why it's doing so.
I can’t get my heater to work , I replaced the heater control valve, did a antifreeze and back flush haven’t tried replacing the blower motor, blend door or heater core wanted to see what tips I can get before I start replacing the rest:
Car won't start, jumpstart or push start Im seeing an EML light Ive never seen before! I have power the lights and radio work but when I turn the key I get nothing! Please Help Im stuck!
