Thank you soo much I soldered a new battery and the key still wasn't working and I checked the 5amp fuse and it was blown and I changed it with the spare and my key works now
I am faced with the same problem as we speak and this is very stressful Broe yhoo😏
@luvosmith600 have u checked all the fuses and the one the guys changed our in this video
Which one exactly? Mini or large one? I have an active hybrid 3 that won’t work
The exact same story of mine I’ll check later today the fuse
checked the fuses and they semmed oke :/ there are couple from the list missing.... but i tried to put them from the spare or other with the proper number and nothing :/
Thank you, worked perfectly the problem on my x5 e70 was a fuse of the antenna. You saved me a lot of money, thanks again from France
You’re a beast changed 15 amps to 20 did the trick thought I was gonna have to go to a mechanic thank you bro 🎉
5 years later video still doing justice thank you for the help solved my problem
I went to BMW asking about the problem this morning . They told me the cost of the diagnostic will be $300.00.My friend I do not have a job because of Corona . I know BMW business is done also but what happened to honesty integrity and fairness? well I should say thank you for your great help. I fixed it by following your direction changing one fuse for cost of $ 1.75.
I 've learned a lot from this video. I am no longer so intimidated by the fuse map. Last but not least, your daughter is so adorable for wanting to help her Daddy! 🙂
You saved me a lot of money on buying a new key. Fuse 2. That was the culprit. You’re a gem buddy. I changed fuse 2 and my key once more unlocked /locked the car again. 👍👍. Thanks buddy.
I know nothing about BMWs, other than it’s a fortune for any fixtures, especially after I had replaced a part in past. But since then I had a few minor issues come up, one of them being this. I’ve learned to research a bunch online before taking it in and I was thrilled to come across your video. It’s extremely helpful and now I feel better at least knowing what I can do to diagnose and resolve the issue myself. Thank you SO much friend!
Excellent. Just fixed my X5 You saved me a lot of grief.
Good job, Olaf! You just saved me a bunch of money! By the way, grew up right by my Dad's side watching him fix and repair stuff too! Keep her involved and keep explain *everything*. I'm the one that figured out (and fixed) my car fuse isssue - not my husband. :-) (also pulled my 24-year old Daughter out to assist me and now she could do this herself now too!). Thanks for the DIY tip!
Not sure if your 2 year old could actually do this nor do I think its wise to allow a 2 year old to service your vehicle lol but I love the idea of the hands on learning experience.. you just need to immerse them in EVERYTHING, all day long. Whether it's you turning on a light, picking up a wrapper off the floor&throwing it away, or you're cooking dinner. Let them experience it with you&explain what you're doing&why you're doing it...too often ppl get this mentality of "itll be easier if I just do it" &its true, it is easier, but it's not more beneficial for your child. I understand it can be hard&you're probably tired&what not, but its imperative for their development to take the time on the small things...so I applaud you for that!
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to make and post it!
Amazing....just had this issue...same car has yours and literally with your video...5 minutes and the 2 key fobs are working...amazing video, thank you so much.... bloody fuse #63. Thank you.
Mate you’re a champ for making this video . Well done
Really useful video, thanks. I have a Z4 so the fuse numbers might be different, but I'm sure I'll be able to sort this out. I wouldn't have expected there to be a specific fuse just for the antenna.
Thanks for the video. Helped me a ton. For a 2015 328i, the panel is in the trunk.
This is a fun place - ha! Thanks for the info.
You are the best. Out of all the videos I watched none of them got it right. At the end I watched you video and finally got my problem sorted. Thanks bro.
This was so helpful, thank you so much! 😀
Love that she wants to help and that you explain it to her !!!
Thank you so much. Your video was informative and helped me out.
Man, your video helps me out, í was going to check the fuses, then on a way I think, why lock button didn't work but open and open trunk is working, then I beat the key on my knees few times and it worked, no issues and one touch lock, thanks anyways
This is great thanks. One question though. Would the dealership not check that fuse before deciding on giving you a new fob? Or are you saying they'll change the fuse and then try to charge you for a new fob?
Nice video 👍
Bro you saved me from buying a new key!!! Thank you so much!!!
This is one of the best videos on UA-cam. Thank you good sir. This helped me out tremendously.
Hello Olaf Bro, It’s been a while I haven’t seen your videos. Been following you since the E46 days. Nice new steering wheel on that 3 series. Any retrofit videos on that? :)
Keep the vids coming Bro! Be safe!
This didn't happen to me yet. But thanks for making this video for those that are going through this. Wow how did you figure this out
Top work my friend - my 63 fuse was ok, but must have been loose - when I reinserted it, fobs locked again! Thanks, saved me a lot of money!
Loved the outtake! (Fuse info VERY helpful, too. Thanks!)
Thank you. This solved my problem. My keys had stopped working, and I also had an auto brake malfunction error. I had a hard time figuring out what fuse numbers were associated because my car had no literature on it, but some research for a 2011 X5 suggested "6, 103, 109, 129, 142". 129 was blown and replacing it fixed the issue. The keys stopped working again shortly after, and I looked at the fuses again. After 103 was pulled out and pushed back in, it started working again.

I recently had the problem that 3 of my doors no longer opened on my bmw 328i. The remote didn’t seem to open them neither did the door control button in the center of the car. I took my car to a bmw repair shop and they said it may be an electrical issue and may be a little expensive. I came across your video on youtube and thought what if its just the fuze that got blown out? Thank god it was and Thank You sooo much you saved me a lot of money. 🙏🏼
Great video and very helpful with the details. I didn’t know much about fuses until I ran into this issue. Extra bonus at the end with the little cutie. I also laughed when you had a large printout of the fuse; something I would do. Is it OK if you put a 10 fuse in a slot that is for a 7.5? I was told you can go up in value but not down.
Excelent video. I have the same problem and is very annoying. You gave me hope. 😅
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial video… I’ve got the exact same issue with my bmw 5 series e61 I’m definitely going to follow your advice and see if they have also blown….!!!
@oscar orozco unfortunately not I've just about tried everything diversity antenna is the only thing left. HOPEFULLY THAT IS
@@rustynuts686 did you end up changing the diversity antenna? I have the same issue with my 5 series. I literally have to put & point the fob right next to the diversity antenna for it to unlock the doors & trunk. I feel so embarrassed to do that in public 😅
@@mrsmdub259 fortunately I didn’t have to mess around with it all for a day or two.. All the common gremlins/faults have been completely removed… oh yeah but my 5 series was removed from my driveway also early hours of the morning… my beemer has gone but on the bright side so has all those bloody issues with at the same time….!!!!! Hahahaha hahahaha every cloud and all that….
Nice!! Thank you fo this information!!
Thanks yo, my diversity antenna fuse did break. But for me it was fuse 18, it is still a 5 amp fuse. so for everyone else, be sure to check the fuse diagram that came with your car (unless your fuse box looks like Olaf's), and check all the 5 amp fuses that is related to radio! 👍
Great explanation. Same as what I do
This is a nice video thanks for your help.
Lol I’ve had my car for over 11 years and it’s just now doing this. I stuck the key in the door and turned it..all of my windows to include my sunroof opened…it was pretty cool but I was scared i wouldn’t be able to put them back up. Inserted my key fob and the car started. Thank you
mashallah, well done. just fixed mine. only the driver door was opening.
You rock! This is good solid troubleshooting- well presented and filmed. I owe you $300 since I didn't buy a new key fob. Do you sell longer arms to get into the panel, lol. And the patience of a saint with your supervisor climbing around the car.
Glad to help Jonathan!
Thx man! I check this tommorow.
My beep will not work, lights do not flick when the fob is mashed to lock, and the small red ball underneath the rearview mirror does not work. I do know that my mechanic repaired my headliner in the back. Do you think he unplugged something that can be repaired or do you think its the fuse?
Soooo helpful! Thank you SOOOO much !
Did push start work for you ? Or you had to put key in ignition ?
Super helpful!!! Thank you!
Hey man!! Just wanted to say today your video completely saved my day!!! Thanks!!!
If youtube and these videos were not there; i would never be driving a BMW . you just earned a subscriber and a big like, keep the informative videos coming.
You gave me hope! I gonna try today thank u
Hi. E91 not working also keys and radio yet. Do you know maybe why?
I read about people charging them on a toothbrush charger so I placed mine on my Apple Watch charger and it charges it. It now works. Thanks of the advice.
Does that magnet activate when you put it on the apple charger ?
Need help I replaced both 56 and 57 fuses because they were blown but the new ones I put did nothing to fix the issue of the control center button and key fob not working for 56 I put 15 and for 57 I put 20 my antenna fuse was not blown
Excellent video Thanks!
Love the outtakes haha so cute.
Thanks a lots brother very helpful 🙏🙏
You the man. Just saved me 200$
Five amp fuse in the trunk, as I have an e61
Fuse 59
Well explained man. 👌
Dang! It didn’t work for me but at least I zeroed out the fuses. Guess I gotta pay for a key😞, and you were right because it was scary, but it was fun. I felt accomplished doing it on my own.
Thank you so much for sharing how to fix BMW key fobs not working to lock and unlock your car door s and showing step by step instructions how to replace the fuses if blown!!! I tried this step by step instructions and I know nothing about the BMW fuses and have zero experience with, so I learned a lot Thank you of how to replace the fuses!!! I tried to replace the fuses as described in the video as I have the same exact problem on my 2009 BMW 335i Convertible with my key fob not locking and not opening doors and not responding to locking and unlocking key fob and my doors not opening or locking on comfort access door handles to get in and lock doors. Unfortunately the fuse did not work for me. However I learned alot so thank you so much!!!
Ihave been driving my 2009 BMW 335i Convertible with the key fobs I have (2) key fobs in the ignition switch when I drive consistently and still my key fobs for a year now have not been working to lock and unlock and open and lock my car doors and I do have comfort access on my 2009 BMW 335i Convertible. I did just replace my key fob batteries both of them, and now with brand new key fob batteries replaced in both my key fobs when I walk up to car and open and lock my car door with my hand physically opening the door with the comfort access it now works and my doors open and close now!!! So 100% the key fob batteries had to be replaced!!! However my car was not locking and unlocking from pressing the key fob to unlock and lock the doors still after replacing both batteries on key fobs, and replacing a brand new car battery installed and now following the instructions to replace the fuses as this video so valuable shows how to do, and my car still was not locking and opening from the key fobs. So after replacing the key fob batteries and then putting the key fob in the ignition and turned on the car and drove for about 1 minute, then turned off the car and tried to see if my key fob would work to lock and unlock the doors and it immediately works!!! So for me on 2009 BMW 335i Convertible I had to replace both key fob battery’s and then stick the key fob in ignition and drive and turn off car and to now works!!! I’m so grateful I haven’t been able to lock and unlock my car for a year now !!
i have the same issue with my G30 530e can find the antenna in my diagram and checked all the fuses with DoorLock and they are fine, is there something else i should be checking?
Hi ive got same problem. Just checked all fuses. Still same. Can anynody help
Thanks for the detailed video this helped me soooo much 😊
Nice, nice, nice. The key fob problem just hit me. I will try this solution.
The ending was priceless. Your daughter is precious. I have one about her age. Great video! Thank you sir.
What caused ur fuse to blow? Wouldn’t it blow again when you put it in?
What's the fuse number for an 06 525i? Or what's the name for the fuse so I can look for it in my manual
Thanks bro I’ve recently ran into this problem..I’ll check my fuses out and see if that’s the problem.
ODGAF 408 did you find the problem ? Im having same issue
@@juandontworryaboutit4150 did you find the problem ? was it the fuse !
i’m having the same problem and the fuses are fine
Hey bud ,
My alarm works at times , at times it doesn't..
The radio settings also resets along with my bluetooth..
What's the best way to problem solve this? thanks
Thanks - great video
Thanks so much I hope this works for me.
So on the fuse box all of the fuses that say need to be there they have to be there cause mines is missing some??
Will the radio still work if it was the antenna?
What did you have to do to get the key to put up the windows. I knew that they go down
Amazing. Fuse replacement did not work for me but both keys also donot work. Central locking button on dash does work together with key. I suspect a blown module from water damage from a cracked tail light. I had to replace logic 7 amp. Could a module below the truck floor have blown?
Same issue here how did you fix it?
I had a problem trying to do this on my 328i and messed up my fuses and now there all over the place I don’t know where to put them how they were before any help??
My fuse 63 is fine still not working any help or do I have to check all the fuses in the 63 box area
Thank You !!! Helpfull
Funch I’m looking at this with my key fob slashed in half with my soldering kit that just got and new vl2020 battery soldered in to the keyfob that it’s still not working 😬😬
Does the E90 come with door lock deadlock feature?
Thank you so much!! I just bought a 2nd fob thinking battery was dead. Your video was absolutely perfect as I had no idea there would be a fuse involved and location etc was exactly identical to yours. 2011 323i. Both fobs worked after I put in new fuse! #63 be damned !!!
Hey there is there any chance you could text my number I have the same issue I just need some assistance and you also have the same car as me
@@joelprevost6094 What number?
Do you know the number for this fuse in the bmw f36
Hi, I need help, I dont have that same diversity antenna logo on my paper at all, (my logos are a bit different, x3 2018) do you have any idea which other logo it might be for the fuse?
Same for me
Good video Olaf! Trouble with mine is at times, it simply stops working, no rhyme or reason, then starts to work again. Likely it's bigger than a fuse for me (CR battery is brand new), so I'll leave well enough alone right now :)
Same here! And the dealership was no help at all!
Ok so my e92 335D has no locks and no ignition barrel. The key has gone dead and it isn’t the comfort access key where I can change the battery. I can’t. So what do I do because the battery dead sign shows on the dash. ???
Hey,thanks for the video,i have checked the fuse and looks fine and have no key fob problem.what do you think about the might be?
Diversiteit Antenna
I have an issue in my 325i 2009, when I turn off the car 🚗 all windows and roof top automatically open and I have no control over them and then I have to start the car again to close the windows then of I fail I disconnect the battery and reputed again to solve the problem 😩 any help please?
I have a 535 I X Drive and this video I think will help me solve my key fob challenge as it does not unlock my doors....only locks drivers door.
Bro thank you so much I drove with a ground cable unhooked on my e90 and it fried my transmisson fuse and i couldnt start the car, replaced it starts but now my key didnt work and this fixed it
Tengo el mismo problema. Mi segunda llave dejó de funcionar. Sé que puedo abrir la puerta usando la llave de emergencia (que parece una pequeña espada), pero temo que suene la alarma. Cómo hiciste?
Thank you hopefully this helps me, God bless
Mine all the fuses are good . Still the key dont open or close the car . What else can i check. I have a 2007 320i limousine
Thanks mate was just checking fuses with continuity all seems OK but pulled out no 49 fuse alarm started going reinserted fuse and central locking become active
Can you tell me how u fix yours please
Nice video!
Thank you, great video!
My 323i key fob just stop working and all fuses are accurate and the central door lock working properly can I get some help
Saved me big time! Door unlock fuse was blown, my fuse box is in my trunk but the info was great. Thanks for the help

I'm having that same problem, checked fuse look good not sure what else to do. The key fob turns on the car just can't lock or unlock doors with it.
