Sat, 04 Nov 2023 19:58:25 -0700

The medium and high speed front wipers work as they should. None of the intermittent speeds work. The wipers do operate one time in each setting, but not at all after that. The windshield in front of the sensor is clear.

2000-2006 BMW X5: 2003 X5 no audio after battery replacement?

Wed, 17 May 2023 07:29:09 -0700

Hello bimmer friends. After new battery install in my 2003 X5 the audio is completely absent. No Prior issues with sound system and everything is factory. The radio still turns on and displays show normally, it can scan through stations and adjust settings/volume like always, but no sound. There is no crackling or buzzing or anything like that, just total silence in any mode, CD, radio, Bluetooth adapter.. silence. It doesn't ask for a radio unlock code or give me an option to enter one. Any ideas? Could it be an Amp issue? I've checked all the fuses, and there are no relevant codes showing in diagnostic... I can't afford a professional repair for a non-essential issue like this -keeping it on the road in one piece is bankrupting me as it is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Its been like this for months and im going crazy from long, silent drives when I forget my headphones....

My ac compressor stopped spinning so I replaced it thinking that would solve the problem and it didn't. I'm beyond frustrated and don't know what else to look for. Also can't find a straight answer to where the ac relay is.

The sunroof on this 2006 BMW X5 3.0l is fully opened and will not close. The motor runs and it will begin to go through the cycle to close but then stops . When I hold down the button to reset the sunroof by holding down the button inside of the car, the same thing occurs. How can I fix this? Do I need to replace it?
