2009 BMW 328i climate control fuse keeps blowing out?

all cars made for 100 year like to short cheap harnesses. that rub, fray and short from VIBRATION not more it does the worst it gets. my buddy captain Dick almost died in C5 Galaxy with short;in the harness mid cargo bay. he saved the day by pulling the connector there and the fire ended. ( got burn hands doing so but lived) on your car pull the loads to HVAC controller may be the blower motor shorted. test and isolate related parts and the actual shorted device is found, and fuse holds or is wrong fuse there. oops use correct amps rating only. 2009 is the year of BAD CAPS PLAGUE. so the controller caps may be hard dead shorted out as they surely love to do. then. (cloned caps H3LL)

2005 bmw x5 3.0i misfire in 1, 3, 5

USA spec car no not? no country of VIN told so answers can be big time wrong, ok? sure get a shop to fix it they have tools you don;'t have. 3.0L is inline 6? called L6 is this car with coil pack that does more than one spark wire? or have 6, COP spark coils, (all I can do is guess) or USA has 6 COPS we check compression first, x6. got cam timing chain NOISE? I guess changed word mean replaced, with new COP coil? well; engine is first , the spark then fuel injector do DTC P0301 was set, and is still set this error, be specific on DTC errors, even tell them. 301 means weak combustion on #1
  • bad cylinder compression
  • bad spark
  • or #1 injector is bad.
why 3 and 5 fails and all are odd cylinders./ is odd but I suspect VVT problems./ no mileage on the engine told. 300k 400k?

My BMW has a no key symbol and my window went downHELP

If you are seeing a "no key" symbol on your BMW's dashboard and your window went down, it could indicate a problem with the key or the vehicle's anti-theft system. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check the key battery: A low battery in your key fob can cause communication issues with the vehicle, leading to the "no key" symbol. Replace the battery in your key fob and try starting the car again.
  2. Try a spare key: If you have a spare key, try using it to start the car. If the spare key works, then the issue is likely with the original key fob, and you may need to have it reprogrammed or replaced.
  3. Check for interference: Sometimes, other electronic devices or signals can interfere with the key's communication with the car. Move away from any potential sources of interference, such as cell phones or other electronic devices, and try starting the car again.
  4. Check the fuse: If your window is not responding, it may be related to a blown fuse. Check the vehicle's fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
  5. Contact a professional: If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact a professional mechanic or BMW dealership for further diagnosis and repair.
It's important to address this issue promptly as it can leave your car vulnerable to theft (obviously). Hope that helps!!!

2004 bmw 318 ti cranks, buT won't start!

I have two ideas on this. Have you disconnected the battery or had it drain flat recently? It may be the anti-theft immobilizer, and needs resetting. Having said that, the second video shows how to reset all the modules and it just starts right up! https://www.google.com/search?q=2004+bmw+318+reset+security+system Or the fuel pump isn't creating enough pressure. You can test with a gauge borrowed from Autozone..

Viper CE0890 Remote Starter randomly starts up every day between 2:30 and 3:00pm. How do I get it to stop in my 2003 BMW 330Xi please?

Question edited for clarity. Take it back to the installer at 2:00pm and he can use his pro grade scan tool computer to record what happens. It may be electronic interference from something nearby that starts up during that time. https://www.google.com/search?q=Viper+CE0890+Remote+Starter+randomly+starts+up ..

I have a 2006 BMW X5 4.4i and I would like to know 1- can this system bypass the immobilizer or 2- reset the computer so I can get it started.

The answer is No to both questions. The security system and immobilizer is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do, start the car without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram computers (ECM and BCM) and the security modules and sensors. You have to fix the issue not find away around it. The immobilizer on that vehicle needs a code. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+BMW+X5+reset+security ..

2012 BMW 535i losing all my water but not overheating?

If your 2012 BMW 535i is losing all of its water but not overheating, there could be a few possible causes:
  1. Leak in the coolant system: The coolant system of your car may have a leak, which is allowing the water to escape. This could be caused by a faulty radiator, a leaking hose or a cracked engine block.
  2. Evaporative loss: In some cases, the water may be evaporating due to high temperatures. This is common when driving in hot weather, and it can be caused by a malfunctioning pressure cap or a faulty radiator cap.
  3. Leak in the water pump: The water pump may be leaking, causing the water to escape from the coolant system.
  4. Leak in the head gasket: A leak in the head gasket can allow coolant to leak into the engine oil, causing the water to disappear.

2012 bmw 535i driving on the hwy and all of sudden I loose power pulled over n it came right back on

You need to have it checked for error codes. You could get tailended if power drops unexpectedly. Without the codes, it could be anything from a bad fuel filter to a failed transmission.

I need to know the harness wire color of o2 sensor bank 1sensor 1 bmw 2008

Hi, Please use the catalog from the advanced autoparts website or Mcmaster-Carr catalog in order to identify the product and then have access to the particular wire that you're looking for. You might use both resources just to ensure that the color isn't picked at random depending on the source of the part creation. Thank you.

2005 BMW 1 Series 1116i cranks but no start - plenty of fuel and fuel pumps working . no start

what fuel?, gas or diesel, LPG, LNG, e100 what? (E81/E82/E87/E88; ? aka E8x says "the four-cylinder turbo-diesel, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol, six-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol and six-cylinder turbocharged petrol (the latter only available on coup? and convertible models)." I can not guess engines !, if not told straight up." what does 1116i mean., google returns zip, a typo or bounced a key? YES ! or post the country and VIN and we tell you what is under the hood and is first, step. let we wild guess it burns GASoline (petrol) and has spark (sure does) and spark is dead DIY. all fuses good and next we scan the car at the OBD1 scan port USA, 16pins. it then tells my why spark is dead. and why spray test fuel fails. a standard easy test, for prove spark and engine are ok for 100 years, the same exact test. your engine is here. find it and tell it for 10x more exact answers for free. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BMW_engines OK googling me like crazy car really is Series 1.6 116i just 2 ones. no three. I guess this is a BMW test day? best I can tell that is an E87 BMW,actual E87 1 Series 5 door 116i has a naturally-aspirated Inline 4 cylinder engine, Petrol motor. 1596 cm3 (1.6l) This engine produces a maximum power of 115 PS (113 bhp - 85 kW) at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 150 Nm (110 lb.ft) at 4300 rpm. So if E87 it is then it has spark and no fuel ever burns lacking spark and must be scanned, after all fuses test good here is the best test (EFI ways) DYI 1: connect scan tool & key on make sure scan tool works.!!! 2 CRANK FOR 5 SECONDS, AND RELEASE KEY 3: DO NOT TURN KEY OFF NOW. 4: SCAN AGAIN SEE WHY ECU TELLS YOU WHY SPARK IS DEAD, IT SURE WILL, DTC P-3XX , HARD HARD ERRORS. LIKE THESE. CPM DEAD. CKP DEAD SPARK DEAD. FUSES DEAD BATTERY WEAK. AND MORE, NOT SCANNING IS THE PROBLEM YOU CAN NOT FIX MODERN CARS LACKING THE TOOL SO RENT ONE/?

2001 BMW X5 e53 left side front and rear doors will not unlock from inside or outside or with central lock switch.

On a 2001, and because it is only on one side of the vehicle, and because it is the drivers side only, my guess is that the wire that goes from the driver's door to the door frame is damaged. The best course of action would be to take it to an auto electrician for diagnosis with their pro grade scan tool computer. There are some other theories in the link. https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+BMW+X5+e53+left+side+front+and+rear+doors+will+not+unlock ..
