You are in the BMW X3 & X5 Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
Since two years ago, my 2001 X5 started to loose columns in the dot matrix display. This includes display in the instrumentation panel, and the radio. A few columns are permanently gone and, a few columns would go on and off. Anyone knows how to resolve the problem?

Replying to: hbustos (May 11, 2009 1:48 pm) One jump also caused my added CD player to fail, another caused my added subwoofer amp to fail. Note that my previous post on the sleep mode 1.2A leakage that started the whole event! My other thought is that the battery jump position is in the engine compartment, while the battery is in the rear trunk. The large surge current with the inductance of the wiring can cause the high voltage surge. I think the jump hook up should be to the battery in the rear trunk. A design issue!

Replying to: lion2000 (May 11, 2009 4:53 pm) Regarding the inductance of the long wire to the back is not it, I thought about that and I did the jump right at the battery. Anyway, if someone had the solution please le us know Thanks |

I have lost all power to the front passenger side door. No power to the door lock, window or outside mirror. The fuses are fine. The dealership took a quick look at it, but didn't find anything obvious. Does anyone have any ideas before I take it back to the dealer for a more thorough and expensive look? Thanks.

Dear Hosts, Some assisstance please. I have a 2006 X5 4.4 with 52,000 miles. Currently, my sunroof is stuck open in the vented position and the sliding cover is partially open by 3 to 4 inches. When I press the switch in any direction (to the front, to the back or up) nothing happens. I tried pressing up for 30 seconds and still no response. I'm unclear how and when this happened. I only remember I used the buttons on my key to unlock the doors and let the windows go down. When I got in the vehicle I noticed the problem. The owners manual says the unresponsiveness could of happened after the battery was diconnected--it was not. And that the system may have to be initialized. Any help would be appreciated. I purchased the vehicle at lease-end but have an additional 3 year 36,000 mile warranty--would this problem be covered? thanks

Replying to: milti (Jul 19, 2009 2:15 pm) So I guess the question is whether the additional 3/36 warranty you got when you purchased your X5 is a continuation of the "basic" one or does it just cover the powertrain. Probably going to have to read the fine print and ask the dealer. There were some TSBs for water leaks in the front passenger side cabin, but that doesn't look related to the sunroof. In the meantime, if you can find the right fuse, you could pull it and see if that resets the sunroof switch switch at all. That trick sometimes works with balky CD players. Any owners here have sunroof problems?
