BMW X5 Electrical System Malfunction - FIXED

[@daviddrew4022]

Thank you!!! What a stupid design. The connections weren’t even soldered. 🤦🏼This should be a recall. I haven’t been able to drive the car for 2 months. You are my hero!!!🥇

[@YuDaMan]

You've Definitely Hit it right on point I've had this problem on my dad's car and just now I've fixed the problem thanks to you 😊 🍻

Wow! Your video was the first one and it is exactly what is going on right now with my ‘13 x5 35i. The compartment is full of water but thankfully all the wires are e tact. But it seems per mu husband there are computer connections in this compartment that have been getting wet. This is absolutely ludicrous to put these there …

Lala, I'm having the same issue right now just after the hurricane. Hopefully I'm just as fortunate as you

[@agapepz4111]

Awesome job sir! Quick question. I have E70 4.4 5.0i . My idrive knob and back up camera stopped working simultaneously. What do you think might be the issue? Thx for the answer 😊

[@emeryreecesfamily7033]

This was my problem. Thank you for this video. Car is now running but showing Engine malfunction w/ a P21A8 code. Hopefully it’s because I started the car without the lift gate control module.

[@bmw12347]

Where is this module? Also does x5 tail gate open fully by itself or am I supposed to lift it manually?

Around would be a fair repair cost for a job like this?

[@tomconner5067]

If I were a BMW or any automotive engineer, all sensitive electronic control modules and critical connectors would be located high and dry, encased in a protective housing between the headliner and roof, or mounted high on the inner body

[@Centralcoastwraps831]

Yeah but then bmw would have nothing to fix for you then 😂

[@March808]

Thanks i had no idea what this light meant

[@sharkfinn8091]

I found mine submerged in a pool of water. Do you think this will cause a no start/crank? That’s the problem I have. I checked the front ECM and it’s dry with no signs of damage.

07’ E70 3.0si here, same problems

[@panch0noo1]

Thank you I will start my journey and see what happens cheers

I'm curious. Did you ever consider drilling a hole through the metal compartment the fills up and floods the area? Asking because I'm planning on sealing the grommets, relocating the tailgate module, etc...but I'm still scared I'll miss something the the compartment will fill up again. Figured the final safety precaution is just to remove any risk of the compartment filling up. Thoughts?

[@YuDaMan]

tried all that...no success ....raised the module several inches and also tried putting the module in a plastic bag. the issue is some of the water wherever it is coming from wicks DOWN the wiring harness and INTO the module, The good news is that NEW modules are now available in the $50+/- range.

[@YuDaMan]

additionally, there are some splice connections near the bottom of that compartment. Once they start corroding, you end up with issues a new module will not solve. I do have a video out there about those wire splice issues.

[@pat.cheung]

@@YuDaMan I'll look for those videos. Thanks!

[@sandylove7782]

I don’t find any water there in the back but my car is taking water in the passenger front and back.

[@Cancododa]

Where's that wire?

[@YuDaMan]

in an X5, right REAR compartment

[@Cancododa]

@@YuDaMan thank you so much for your video. I found so much water sitting causing short to my electric module. Drained them my bmw works like charm again!

[@bobbypersaud]

[@YuDaMan]

make sure the tailgate and hatch are COMPLETELY closed. re-slam the lower tailgate. I had that problem early on. Not a defect.

[@bobbypersaud]

@@YuDaMan Everything is aligned when i closes but when Open with emergency cord the button inside works and outside works closing

[@bobbypersaud]

@@YuDaMan Do you think it’s the jbe

[@YuDaMan]

[@lindanisheperd9097]

[@YuDaMan]

Right REAR compartment.

[@tomconner5067]

What is the name of that module? I know they're model speciffic, is it the module beside the battery or the one behind the wheel well tub?

[@Centralcoastwraps831]

Hkl lll it’s the auto trunk module

[@bmw12347]

​@@Centralcoastwraps831does the trunk fully open by itself or do I need to manually lift it up?
