that is the cruise control thats working
u'll usually see it blink when the road conditions are bad or when its raining or wet

Actually i think it means that your anti spin control is turned off. in my bmw the button for asc is located just in front of the gearstick. try pushing the button.

You have a defective fuel level sending unit. To replace this you must remove the gas tank from the car.

You don't "have to" reset the status but it does help to keep track of oil life.Turn the car on. Wait about a minute for the computer to get to normal.press and hold the travel mile reset button. HOld it untill an ! in a triangle appears. then your maintanance info will pop up. select the item to reset. and tap the side button on the wand atached to the stearing wheel. this button is what you use to browse through your computer. press the button once it will say "reset" press and hold it the second time and it will say reset, hold for 5 seconds or so and it will show a check mark next to "reset" confirming it has reset.

you need door trim panel tool release door clips.

Should be in the glove box

• Hi, i can help.

• BMW has had problems with voltage causing fuses to blow in relation to the door lock fuses in the fuse panel in the glove box. Specifically 56 for the drivers door only and 57 if all doors are effected but check 2,19 and 63 as well all located in the fuse box in the glove box. I recommend a look at those first as replacing them can fix the problem. Please note that AFTER you replace the fuses you MUST unhook the battery for two minutes to reset things. Just replacing the fuses will not work. Please see the diagram below.

• If the problem persists or the fuses look good then i suggest getting an actuator for the door locks. BMW had a technical service bulletin out about this as well.

• If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Pep Boys, Autozone, Advanced Auto, Napa, most all the major auto parts stores carry a recharge kit...a few Wal Marts even carry them---Or you can buy them online fom Amazon, Ebay, etc...

In most kits you'll find a can of refrigerant, a flexible rubber hose and a pressure gauge. Follow the instructions in the package to assemble the pressure gauge part of the kit. Usually you'll have the hose already attached to the gauge, such as this one.

Good luck, i hope this helps

it is located at Left side underneath of vehicle sometimes it has a plastic cover.

not hard but does not fix the problem so if cleared it will return.best to go to auto zone or advance auto parts they pull codes for people for free, now armed with the code you are closer to getting the right info for the fix.good luck.

Check the codes, you should find that you need to replace the crankshaft position sensor and/or the camshaft position sensor. You can take it to most auto parts stores and they will put it on a meter and run the code test for you. If you need more help, please do not hesitate to ask.

Turn slowly clockwise you will need to compress the tensioner when you have enough slack remove belt , To install do the order in reverse

You can get it read for free by Autozone or Pepboys, depending on what code it gives you can decide if it is worth it to take it to a dealership and have the sensor replaced (which is the usual cause). Or they can clear the code and get rid of the annoying light for free.
