Hello thank you on this crash relay that will kick on if you hit a dip on the road hard yes. Because I did even my blinker pop out then in the morning all the time now I have to jump start the car. Some one said it's the starter I really dont think so. What's your advice on this?

[@biziclop1]

Hi, can you help me? The turn lights flash but do not sound. Which relay should sound? (E36 M3)

[@Eazye442]

I dont have ang relay there, where it can be located?

[@IIcrackerII]

What year and model BMW do you have? What are your symptoms?

[@Eazye442]

@@IIcrackerII i dont actually have a problem, but since i retrofitted the obc 18 button fully working i was looking for that relay since is related to a hidden function about the code, pin 3 x1071 needs a wire to that relay to stop fuel pomp to start, even if the code function already works i was curios to add that wire too

Hello friend, I have a BMW 318i model 95 series E36 M46, the car starts and goes well but at any moment it turns off and does not start and after giving it time it starts again. Can you give me some suggestions for rebisar. Thanks in advance I am Norman from Costa Rica

[@IIcrackerII]

Hey Norman! When you try to start the car again does the starter activate?

[@normanantoniomasissoto1549]

@@IIcrackerII If my friend, the starter motor turns but does not start and when leaving the car after a while if it starts

[@IIcrackerII]

@@normanantoniomasissoto1549 That is very unusual. When it doesn't start again, I would suggest pulling the spark plug and inspect it for fouling and smell for fuel. If you have a strong fuel odor the plugs may be fouling (too much fuel). You may also benefit from replacing all of the plugs if they haven't been done recently. Right now you need to determine why the car doesn't start. Is it a fuel issue? Is it a spark issue? Inspecting the spark plugs is a quick easy way to hopefully determine this.

@@IIcrackerII Thank you very much I will do it

[@normanantoniomasissoto1549]

Friend and that relay what it is for

[@howlingmedia4354]

would something like that be on a 2002 e46 325i ?

[@arkkukakku112]

no..

[@WantedGun1]

Why did you switch that crash relay. What where your symptoms air bag light on or was the car crashed

[@IIcrackerII]

My apologies for the (very) late reply. The issue I experienced was my flashers would randomly activate while driving the car. Any little bump in the road would cause them to activate so I replaced this and fixed the issue.

Can I just get a random 12v fuse

I don't know what I got Eliot, my 1994 BMW 325IS manual 5speed will not start. It's not tumbler the key turns on and everything works lights,radio,power windows etc When I turn ignition to start cranking I get nothing like a dead battery but i have actually gotten a new one still nothing, I am thinking maybe have something to do with anti-theft goiing off or something ? that's why I see this alarm relay video of yours and was wondering would that have anything to do with it??? It will kick start because it's a manual I can push start it and it runs thank god...I just have no earthly idea would you possibly know??? If so I am at [e-mail] I have never commented on this so not sure how it works will i just get a reply from you after my comment ? Please hellp
