BMW Central Electronics Failure Fix !! Must Watch This Is Killing All Your Electronics

[@autoh2039]

Thx! Changed it. It was the black relay in the trunk. It got really hot, put another one. Everything is ok. What it was doing: No power to the front doors (windows, mirrors, locking) Wipers would start on it's own and wont stop. battery drainage.

I have the 2007 530i and my battery drain overnight, and I change all of the stuff in the truck and get a new battery and still battery drain every night. Thank you for this video

[@_J.P._]

Just a quick thought - that plastic box contains a lot of electronic parts. If... for example.... a condensator dries out it does not work properly. Due to that a relay may get stuck and sort of send or not send power. A dried out condensator may as well send less then expected power. And other parts as well. IMO it might be usefull to take the whole unit and find a local electronics repair shop that will go through all the parts, measure them by ohm, voltage and what not and replace just the parts that are dead or close to being dead. Usually those parts cost next to nothing instead of buying a complete new modulde (which you have to re-code again to work with your car).

[@sandrotorre9390]

Thanks so much for uploading this video, changed it and cleared any faults now my car working like when I first bought it. No longer need to disconnect the cable connected to my battery, steering wheel lighter and heating does not turn on by itself randomly. Thank you Dean you legend!

Mine had the exact symptoms you describe but it was not the body control module but the voltage regulator. If you get multiple systems failing at same time also try the voltage regulator. Lost power steering center display radio spedo and tach jumping and stability control. Mine is a e60 m5 pre lci

Sir, you just don't know how much I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all BMW owners. I watched one of your previous video where there was no voltage at the washer bottle pump on a E60. (I have an 07 525i) In that video you stated the issue was the KBM module. Q1. If I buy this module new it is $400 US and used about $70. Which is best? Q2. Will I be able to drive my car to get it programmed/ coded? I do not have the means of coding myself but have found a local European shop. Please give advice. Thanks

2007 E60 M5 Central electronics module issue I started coding with the Carly adapter a few years back, & I think it finally fried my Central electronics module better known as the control body module. Everything worked fine for a while but then I started noticing things I coded, for example welcome lights turning on when you unlock the car started not working half the time. Then ultimately I started getting a bunch of error codes. Abs, Electronic dampening control, start off assistance, check battery terminals, powering steering went out, idrive screen started flashing on and off. The cluster would glitch and I would be going 60 mph and my speedometer was at 0 mph. The music would stop playing then come back on. The latest thing is my sunroof will only open a little bit at a time. My battery was well overdue to be replaced so I did that. I took it for a a drive and everything was fine for about 30 min. Then it happened again, but only one error msg went off. It didn't give me like 5 different error codes. The sunroof is still only opening a little hit at a time and the music cuts out as well. I ordered a used CEM I/E CMB for my car. I'm trying to find out if there's any programming that needs to be done prior or after i install it. For future coding I will be getting ncs expert to code. Any information from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

I have installed a volt reader with the battery to have the records how the battery is behaving, it seems that the battery is going down 0.1V per day roughly so I would have to drive it before 5/6days before it goes to low to crank it. Is this normal for the BMW e60 or I should replace this module and record if this keeps on going down by 0.1V per day? And is this module plug and play or do you need to code it or something ?

I have 2008 E60, been off the road for good few years, leaking fumes from somewhere, and idle revs hunt up and down This happened after a new turbo in 2019. Blocked dpf caused that failure, severe pressure so something else is wrong. Covid meantime meant I parked it for 3 years, started every few months. Anyway, I was working on it and took it out for a drive, just as I got home I got the central electronics fault, instrument panel lights going mad, centre screen went black, wipers came on, windows wouldn't lift, and it might stay like this or suddenly reboot. Had to disconnect battery to stop the wipers. Reconnect the battery and its OK for a few minutes. Then it all kicks off again.Would you reckon its that central electronics module behind the glove compartment fuse board, in your other video you pulled a 7.5a fuse for the instrument panel, and the centre screen came back and was stable, and the menus worked again. Car is a January 2008 E60 with the N47 engine, already cost me two turbos and a timing chain replace since I bought it in 2010, so no surprise I parked it up.

This time when I tested the harness connector (which was replaced by previous owner due to factory recall), there was only about 1.5V, possibly bogus. Basically no power. The 40A fuse is fine. I can't figure out what else could it be.

I have a 2010 BMW 535 I it’s having a problem finding the proper gear to switch to in the transmission I don’t believe the transmission is bad what module should I get to replace that would help more stuff the issue of shifting problems

[@M3231-s3v]

hi, thanks for your video. Does this affect all the electronics or can it affect just some? My locks wont work. Not with the FOB or by the main button inside the car 2004, BMW X3. Once in a while my heat gauge will go from mid way, right over to the right, spike, red light comes on, then it goes back to normal about midway. Rear tailgate will not open even by hand. I wonder if these are all related? Could it be this module? Fuses, seem good and I already tried to reprogram the FOB but even without the FOB, locks will not work. Ideas? thanks. what's the part number for this module? and is it the same for all BMWs?

[@A_Litre_of_Farva]

Did you sort your issue out? My E53 is having similar issues, some things don’t work sometimes.

[@javedtahir5449]

Would you recommend to change the module if the only issue is iDrive stuck on BMW logo and an unsourced battery drain?

[@BMWDoctor]

No your CCC is gone I will be doing videos on how to repair this

[@javedtahir5449]

BMW Doctor Looking forward to it. I drive a 5 series 56 plate and my mechanic tells me he can’t determine if the iDrive fault is a source of battery drain as the car battery dies very quickly without the engine on. This makes the checks on all the fuses unreliable. As the voltage reading goes funny, the mechanic states I should change the battery but I know the battery is definitely not the issue as it’s fairly new and been checked before. Should I save myself the bother and get the iDrive repaired from a specialist company?

[@joshb5332]

I replaced my rear bumper (e93) over the weekend and instantaneously my iDrive and Stereo have now completely stopped working. I thought I may have knocked the SOS antenna on the near side corner of a crash sensor or something, causing malfunction... Wondering if it could be this?!

[@ericharrell9898]

I have a 2004 BMW 645CI and I believe this is my problem. Where would the kbm module be located at on my car?

[@dropworld922]

[@skhosanamathiyane]

I have e64 convertible,,the car radio play and stop, play and stop, play and stop,,,,it play for 2 seconds then start playing after 6 seconds,,,any idea what might cos that.,,,,,,,,,,,thank you for sharing your video man,,,,,,,,South Africa

[@jamescalladine1099]

Do you have to have these programmed to the car? I have a 2007 e70 x5 I’ve brought a module with same part numbers etc and it mostly works but says it’s in transport mode

[@scottkeller87]

Does this module need to be flashed to the car, when replacing with new module? Also does this module affect the logic 7 multimedia CCC drive? I have a customer with a 2006 E60 535IX door chimes tone from speakers as they should, but radio/bluetooth/dvd/CD don't play anything! I tested the logic7 amplifier in the trunk, and checked the L.E.D status indicators to make sure of functionality....amp is fine all speakers tone at the amp harness! He had me order new GRS speakers for every stock location, but I won't put them into a dead system! Please Dean: any advice you can give would be awesome as U.S. dealers don't want to help customers fix, then want to sell them new car!

[@bombekabombeka8399]

Hi brother!Today my windscreen wipers started working on their own and woudnt stop until i removed the fuse.Also my windows werent working,coudnt lock my car, and blinkers were stopping by themselves.bmw 2004 530d. Do you think its the same problem?When i plugged it into computer it showed a3a9 and a3b3.Thank you dude!

[@nativeflight7079]

My battery died because I haven’t been driving much since I work from home. I tried driving the care a few time a week since I was getting a “increase battery discharge” message. I Went and bought a brand new battery since I felt the car needed a new one anyway. Installed the new battery and coded/ registered it. A couple of days later the new battery was also dead. Went to buy a better tender manage to get the battery fully charged but now I keep getting the same “increased battery discharge” and the ignition switch led stays on at all time. Read all the forums all I could find was the it could possible be the IBS cable. Should I go an buy a cable?

[@Wade1234-5]

I have a 07 bmw 650i and I’m having an electrical issue with low beams (both) actually fried (melted) the igniter.. and now the new pieces installed have no power.. is this module the issue???

[@runeandersharden8414]

Do you have any experience with failure in Trailer towing module? Trailer Error messages?

[@ismohzwenbe6053]

Please can you help me to find ou what's causing that. Thank you!

[@oxfordsparky]

In the last week my e61 has gone from working 100% to losing the remote locking, the auto headlights stopped working and the AC stopped working all within a couple of days. Would this module be the likely culprit?

[@simmsy]

Wow! - my 116i has everything you describe going on! I'll give it a crack...thank you in advance!

[@chrisgilchrist1293]

Can this be a common cause of similar issues in a 2011 X3 F25? ive been quoted £500 for a new slip ring and another £700 for a new JBE. no mention of a Central electrical module.

[@mehdi080607]

Would I need to program the car after this part swap or no need as long as it's the same year and model? Thx
