After the battery dying in bmw x5 2002, the central locking, wipers, boot lock, fuel flap and interior light have all stopped working? battery has been replaced and car is running fine. all fuses and wiring apear to be fine. any ideas?

Batteries in remote need changing, drivers door is isolated from others.

Check fuses first, then check the wiring connections to the buttons. Possible the plugs are corroded and just need to be unplugged, cleaned, and plugged back in.

SHOULD PLUG MEMORY SAVER IN THE CIGARETTE.THE BMW VECHICLES IF YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY YOU WILL LOSE MEMORY TO THE ECM, IHKA CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE, ZKEV CENTRAL BODY CONTROL MODULE WHICH CONTROL DOOR LOCKS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS,ANTI THEFT SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTS RADIO ALL THESE COMPONENTS HAS TO BE REPROGRAM USING A BMW SCAN TOOL.

Hello Alan,

I would suspect the fuel flap actuator has failed. Open the trunk. In the right rear corner is the access cover. Open it and you'll see some insulation matting near the top. Behind it is a fuse/relay carrier, I believe either fuse 55 or 56 is blown. If so the fuel flap actuator needs replaced. The fuse also controls the central locking system.

If you are refering to the fuel flap this locks and unlocks with the central locking and they tend to jam. Go inside the boot and remove the carpet at the side of your fuel filler and you will se a cord, pull this and your flap will open.

the gas flap is operated with the central locking,stand at rear of car with tailgate open,just inside to the right,under the floormat you will find the central locking pump.but first renew the batteries in the remotes then unlock the car with the key and hold the key over for 30 secs, the windows may go down,
then lock the car with the key and hold over for 30 secs,the windows may go up and the sunroof,if fitted will close,then unlock with remote button held down for 30 secs,this will reset alarm/central locking.
if you need to get to gas flap, pull carpet away in boot behind flap area and pull wire to unlock....

hello, there is a central locking fuse located in the fuse holder above the battery in the trunk. when you access the trim, look on the fuse description on the back side of the trim cover. I believe it may be either fuse #54 or #56. if the fuse is blown, you probably have a failed fuel flap actuator.

go inside your trunk on the the right access cover where the battery is located.above the battery is a small fuse panel. check fuses 54 and 56. the lengend on the inside of the access cover should list the fuse for central locking. check the fuse listed. if it is blown you probably have a failed fuel flap actuator.

Sounds like maybe you could have a bad fuel flap actuator. Look in the trunk on the right side where the battery is. There is a fuse panel there and on the access trim cover is a chart for the fuses. Check the fuse for the central locking. If it is blown suspect the fuel flap actuator.

I have the same problem - Drivers door windows wing mirrors and drivers door lock not working also air bag light on. The car has been to a BMW specialist for over a week as the drivers door dead locked.
The mechanic used his diagnostic gadget which showed a problem with the drivers door. All other doors windows locks work except drivers door. Has check the power supply to the drivers door switch all ok. Is the problem with this internal window control switch and how does this affect the drivers door lock?
Please Please help
