![]() I bought the parts on amazon for 5 bucks and did it myself with basic tools hella easy, you tube video 15 mins, fixed the door. 2 weeks later the top hose blew again, the key fobs stopped working,and the key didnt turn anything when i put it in the driver side door, it would just turn but nothing happened. Oddly enough I had noticed a radiator hose in the trunk when I got the car from him so I just switched it out. At this point I was ready to light the car on fire and walk to my neighbors house to set him on fire. Anyways I drove out of the parking garage and boom THE TOP radiator hose blew. I didnt have the tools to fix it, one piece to the damn thing was stuck, I needed a j hook type thing, because the hose blew I wss smoking so I pulled into a parking garage, a paid parking garage. So I got new coil packs and spark plugs, replaced them all in the auto zone parking lot, drove our of the parking lot and seemed to work fine drove about 4 miles and the radiator hose blew, the bottom one. It was hit and miss, sometimes it did it sometimes it didnt. I would have to shut it off and turn it back on. ![]() For me it was1st 2nd and 3rd gear and it wouldnt really go past 3rd just hella slow like it was trying to go faster. So the same crap happened with me, I bought it off a neighbor, f-en Dick, and a week later hella issues. Going to try the quick fixes tonight before rolling into the mechanic. I have a 2002 BMW 330 CI and the Transmission light is on and the take off in 1st gear is very slow and straining however when I get over 30 mph its' smooth sailing. Going to try the quick fixes tonight before rolling into the mechanic.Īlso the driver door lock stopped coming up with the key or the lock in the console. Good luck.I have a 2002 BMW 330 CI and the Transmission light is on and the take off in 1st gear is very slow and straining however when I get over 30 mph its' smooth sailing. Otherwise you are off to a BMW independent shop or Dealer. If there is a shorted/open electrical component inside the transmission, then the limp mode will immediatly engage again. At this point when you start the car it will not be in limp mode, untill it detects a problem. This will erase the memory inside all the modules including the trans module. cables, then taking the two cables and touching them together. You have AAA?Īlso you can try Disconnecting the battery pos. It puts more stress on the trans and you might end up breaking something else. I'm not much of an electrician-I hate diagnosing/fixing car electric problems-but I'm perfectly willing to dig into my car as long as I have an idea of what to look for (and I'm way too cheap to spend more money than I have to at a shop or *gasp* dealership).Good job using the search function friend, and welcome to the forums. instead, something probably got fried when the alternator spiked. Since this event coincided with an overcharging problem, I'm guessing this is not a corrosion issue. No negative findings from the BMW electrical test. No trouble codes showing on the OBD-II test. (These indicator lights went on as soon as the old alternator/voltage regulator failed, and will now only turn off if the ignition is in the OFF position). I replaced the alternator and battery (under warranty from parts store) and have been driving the car with no problems for about a week, except both headlight indicator lights are always on, even though all external lights work as they should. The test fortunately revealed no further damage to any electrical systems. Before I replaced the alternator and battery (which was fried due to overcharging), I had a BMW mechanic run a $100 diagnostic test on the electrical components of the car. I stopped driving the car immediately, broke out the multimeter, and quickly realized I had a runaway alternator. but it was clear I had an electrical problem). :thumbdwn: My first indication something was wrong was when my dashboard instrument panel lit up like a christmas tree with warning lights (all false indicators, of course. This all started recently when the alternator's voltage regulator malfunctioned and ended up overcharging the battery to 15+ volts. ![]() but the headlights, turn signals, and all other exerior lights work just fine. Whenever the ignition is on or the engine is running, the indicator light with the orange car and red headlights is displayed on my dashboard instrument panel. ![]() The headlight indicator on my dashboard seems to be malfunctioning.
