Thanks heaps bro I've been racking my f'n brains trying to figure out what's been causing central locking failure and heavy steering issues so ill do the check and hopefully sort it at long last!!! You're a bloody legend my man!
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.
Здравствуйте. Можете сказать? Какое именно реле?
what series do you have
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! Was so confused for months until I found this video.
I watched this entire video and just kept thinking: "this guy's poor mum". Also, I guess they lock him up in that room and only let him out to do the videos? lol
Seriously, great video. Thanks.
Dean you are the GOAT! If it werent for you I would have been sad with my BMW E60 2004 530I. You saved me so much time and headaches. thank u .
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).
What an absolute legend - been scratching my head at K-can errors for a while - no idrive and literally 20 K-can errors around the car
Will try replacing this module an report back!
Thanks for everything - your knowledge has literally saved me £100's if not £1000's
You're welcome!
@@BMWDoctor just to update.
Replaced KBM
And
Cleaned ECU contacts which had a bit of oxydisation.
Still getting batter drain and these god dame kcan/can errors
Any other suggestions mate?
Looked everywhere can't find any solution other than this
Found the issue from one of your other videos. Pulled Kombi fuse. Saved me souch headache and cash. Absolute legend. Of I could buy you a pint I would lol
@@Bfc5819 hey im currently facing a similar issue, I have no idrive. I’ve replaced the module in the rear and it just glitches but won’t work. I also get a lot of errors popping up on my dash for no reason. Did changing the KBM help with that at all? Also if u managed to fix ur problem could you explain what exactly was it that solved it. Thank you!
Was your radio working ?
Your a life saver !!!!! I just changed mine out and everything works again !!!! thanks
Hi bro , after replaced it need. Programmer or not. Thanks
@@sohibgayed4349 I had heard that some people say it would have to be reprogramed but thank God i didn't. I literally just took the old one out and replaced it with one i bought off ebay for 35.00. Luckily after the install mine worked fine and i didn't have to do any more to it.
Thanks for the video
Maybe a portable light will help us see what you’re looking at when you’re inside a dark car. Just a thought
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
Respect for sharing free (genuine) information which can save us £££! from conmen. I'm enjoying all your vids especially on the e60 diesels A*.
No problem bro
wow what a great video, thanks I will order mine today, one of my cars nothing was working windows, locks, it gives me hope because my bmw deal here wants a ton of money just to look at mine, I really don't have money or time to be wasting dealing with the Stealership or mechanics who give me a bunch of hoopla about my car needing this and that and then its not the problem,,, thanks for the vid
You are welcome my friend
you still have your car
You are the man. Brilliant video. You have saved me hours of diagnosing.
This is 100% spot on. I was changing my stereo and snipped a wire without disconnecting the battery and everything shut down except my wipers wouldn't stop even without the keys in. I changed this and everything worked fine again
did you hear a ticking noise in the passenger side by chance? my bmw (2006 325i) had a battery terminal fusible link unplugged while still connected and my car went haywire and all the interior buttons with lights started flashing. although my wipers didn’t start going? now the car is just dead in the water, tried jumping it but nothing happened. won’t even turn on interior lights when opening the doors. did yours still have interior lights and working gauge cluster?
@@austinroberts8366 hi, how did u solved the problem?
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
What did you end up doing? What else did you notice with the faulty module?
Hello great video. My 1 series has crazy electronic problems. Heavy steering, auto transmission failure, dash lite up like a christmas tree. Took it to a bmw specialist but his computer won't connect to the car..
thank you, GOAT. You know your stuff. finally im mby keeping the car and not buying a volvo v70
Just saved me days of diagnosis and a load of money thank you 🙏
Hey mate I have a 2010 E90 320i. I had no choice but drive throught water about 15-20 cm deep. Car was fine and drove home and next morning stalled 3 times and reducing power due to DSC and steering failure with reduced power and finally died completely at work about 1 km. Replaced all ABS sensors and brake pads sensors. Cleaned all connections with contact cleaner.
But car cranks now but no start. Power at DME relay but have following fault
Man I’ve seen a bunch of your videos, you’ve been a great help. My windows, blinkers, tilt, cruise, wipers all went out at the same time. I’m praying this is the issue.
Was this the culprit of your electrical issue?
Same here. Did you fix it?
Either of you resolved your issues ? I am having the same issue as mentioned above. Also I have been doing research and think it’s the rdc (e93 2008)
was it the issue?
You are really bmw professor.i wish i have you in my country.best regards
You are welcome
Literally no other video on this. Thanks brother
I spoke to a bmw technician I have similar problem that no one can answer because when you plug the car in the fault doesn't show up. the car(2007 e91) has shut down at low speed after being in traffic switched off and then restart and fine travelled 240 m last week no problem.
Just starting to remove glove box & fuse panel to check battery main cable
True knowledge. Unmatched.!!!!
Thank you very much I fix my car for this video God bless you talent 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Great video mate 👍 thank you for finding a solution for this problem Hope you do another live stream soon 👍
cheers mate now that's what I like about you you always comment I wish others would you support me on my videos and on my live streams others just come for live stream for a knees up mother Patel meet they think my live is a social club that's why mate I been stopping doing them maybe next month I do another one
Thank you I was in process of checking all my wires thanks for the time save
2007 X5 has a similar problem,where is this module located (British spec) same side ,passenger side behind Glove box? please shed some light on this problem i'm experiencing, Thank you, Bless 😇
You’re the king of BMW 👑
I’ve got tons of problems,
-Active steering fault
-Central electronics failture comes up sometimes
-level cotrol failure
-radio stations refuse to be saved
-door lock remote doesn’t work
Sometimes these problems disappearing everything works fine apart remote and radio.
Do you think that might be a kbm module? Sometimes I hear knock on the back before active steering fault comes on dashboard
Wow! - my 116i has everything you describe going on! I'll give it a crack...thank you in advance!
Can you please tell me where this module is located on a 2002 745li? Located in United States.
Battery drains fully within 9 hrs , replaced fuse box along with module. After replacing AC & parking sensors stopped working, now the mechanic says it fuse box module need to be coded to your car which he cannot do. Fed up with battery draining.
Any suggestions please
@bmwdoctor hey i got some one i'm working on there 2011 bmw x5 35di and the wipers wont stop,only if you take fuse out,and there no power to the ecu,gear shifter, tcm,grouds are good,dde hqas no disel in it,like some,i was thinking the same can it do that 2..
came across your channel and im having trouble navigating to find my fault so i thought i would ask you direct see if you can help me .
bmw 116i driving home one day and battery light came on and car started juddering then all the dials start going up and down and will not start off the button.
i assumed the alternator had failed but no maybe starter no battery no.. ..found out the earth strap had corroded away , so i replaced it , but this did not fix it .
so the place im at is that when i press the start button the enginge cranks about 1 10th of a turn and that is it . but will start every time from a rolling bump. so im always having to park on a hill.
im in the uk and any pointers will be greatfully recieved.
i have scanned it and only showing A6CF and A6D1
Thanks inn advance
My e66 735li 2002 cranking but no start,no gear appear,obd won't connect😩what I do check all fuse good,replace new ivm still problem,,check ignition coil no firing and injector no pulse,,possible zgm bad?
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???
Another good video bro keep the good content coming man.
Great video. I've a question 04 745li
ABS
Parking Brake
Brake Malfunction
Air bag
All these lights are lit on dash.
Stereo not working
Nav not working
Key fob not charging. All happened overnight. Would this be the same cause?
@@MyJsm121063 did you fix it?
Does this affect the E90 vehicles? Have a similar problem with potential battery drain and misc issues. Thanks, mate!
I had a e91 and it fixed mine I also replaced the junction box
I have the same problem where I can’t do anything or listen to my music
@@MrJente you got the “K-Can Line error”?
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?!
How about e90?
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.
Hi Dean. Thanks for all your videos. I was programing my BMW E70 X35d and the voltage stabilizer failed ie voltage got below 12 .4 v ISTAP recommended terminating programming and I did. Well now nothing will turn on and the car is dead electronical.. no PW, no ignition on, start stop will not work, ignition will not come on. Any help to diagnose will be much appreciated
Where in the USA can I get the module ?
I have a 2007 320i (e91) touring. It’s throwing the “central electronic failure”. I had it diagnosed by the dealership. Dealership said it was a short on my sunroof so they cut the power to it. It ran fine for a yr. Now it coming up with the code. Also the sunroof closed itself 3/4 of the way. Which I think is why the central electronic module failure is showing again. My car does start. TIA
Do you have any experience with failure in Trailer towing module? Trailer Error messages?
Thanks for the tip on the battery drain
Hi thanks for this video...... a big help! Do you know if this module would cause the same issues on my F20? Also is the module located in the same place as in the video?
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?
Hi BMW doctor, I own an E60 2004 530D and I have been having problems with battery drain. I have replaced the IBS module and battery and still enduring this problem. Now I have seen your video I would like to ask you a question pls... 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 ?
Me pasa igual.. tengo duda de si es necesario peogramar
jesus this guy is a genius i dont even know what to say
Thank you for being you. People like you restore my faith in himanity.
Your welcome and I aim to be different and not like the rest I provide a explanation for all the problems aswell as hell that person solve it not just show it and expect people to understand how it goes wrong and what it don’t do like many youtubers
@@BMWDoctor I really love what you are doing here. It can't be easy but you still provide us with information that is really hard to come by and we even get it for free.

Hi. How can i get the permanent electricity to the cigarette lighter. So it would be active even when the car is not working. Car is Bmw e90 2008.
Would this effect the idrive? Mine turns on and off but then will suddenly be ok again?
Hola , tengo un problema bastante serio , el e60 al cerrar el automóvil , a poco tiempo se abre solo ,puertas y ventanas ! Actualmente tengo un desconectador de batería . ( Provisional ) Podria ayudarme ?
does the module need to be reprogrammed after being replaced
Having an issue with my E60 535D 2007, coming up with ews tampering code, I’ve synced the cas and dde from
The Foxwell 510nt scanner and car still doesn’t start it cranks but no start.
I have a 2009 528 crank no start is there a fuse box located under the driver wheel on this model
Hi ya my e60 530d when you turn the car on it always reverts back from English I can get it back to English every time I turn the key of and back on again I goes back ....... I cannot get to stay on English same thing with kilometres to miles. thanks in advance ....your videos are great.
Hi, thanks for that video is a life saver very informative but I was wondering if the ECM is what's causing my 525i to lose power to my navigation screen ,my cd player and my navigation cd player, 🙏 thanks
Hi Dean just watched this video I’m currently experiencing the same issue with my 2011 e92 could you tell me where this module is located and does it need coding to the car? Is it the BCM module. Any help would be great
Does this do the same for 1997 e38? I heard you mention e39, but I’m having some of the same problems you mentioned. Power adjust steering column, drivers power seat. Thank you for making the videos!
Thanks for sharing,i reallly di appreciate and i want to ask where the kbm module is located in bmw X6 2009 model
Hi great video, I changed mine over but I still have the warning lights any other ideas I can try to fix/remove these
issues
Can this stop the car from starting too... My x3 has all the symptoms of Immobiliser but it's not
I'm running into the same issue, I'm a mobile tech and was called in to a shop to look at car that came in for an intermittent (I was able to repeat this to confirm customer complaint) no crank no start the battery was shot and would not take a charge, all powers and grounds were sound, no voltage drops, system voltage at terminal 50. So being it was also the wrong battery so we replaced it and registered the new agm battery. No problems with the starterThe idrive is constantly rebooting (car was hot inside) till the a/c cooked the interior and now it works correctly. Could this be the culprit? How do I prove that this is the issue rather than just replacing it? This is a customer's car and I can't just throw parts at it. It also has multiple otter codes in it as well that I have to address.
2007 BMW 525XI 3.0L, L6, USA/Canada.
I just had a failure on all my door controls , my wipers got stuck on and i couldn't turn them off, my steering got heavy also like you had mentioned after i had a battery drain. I have a 2004 BMW 530I ... I hope this is it. That would be awesome.
Did u find out the problem? Was it kbm module? Pls lmk
Hi Doc
My bmw 530d alarm keep going off randomly then I noticed the interior light keep turn on randomly when stationary and causing battery drain
Any idea why the interior light keep turning on randomly?
Can u please tell me the exact name for this part? I’m having problems with my 2008 x5 4.8 not starting
Great video and channel!
I have intermittent problems with my BMW E60, central locking stops working and transmission fail-safe activates stopping me from starting the engine.
If I power down the car and wait for a while or disconnect the battery, it works again but it is happening more often now.
If I replace the module is that a probable fix?
I look forward to your comments!
Thank you!
I got the same problem let me know if you find a problem thanks
😂 a lot of people are stupid 😂 killed me.. and my second favorite from the video “if u don’t wanna change it because it’s expensive, then sell ur car, sell it to someone can afford it” 😂 like saying U R CHEAP in a nice way.. thanks for the videos
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!
My car starts headlight working and hazard,but cluster and radio doesnt work,horn,steering,seats,wipers,window,door doesnt lock and unlock,any idea what’s the problem,
I suppose for non facelift its the MPM module right !
Very informative video, thank you. I see you listed most of the BMW E Series. Would this central control module, be the problem for electronic failure on a X5 also?
I have same problem brother can you help
BMW X5 2011
Some people said from the battery
Still no answer on if this could be what’s wrong with an X5?!
Any idea my car same problem
Hi mate I have e61 2006 ignition comes on but no crank it like turns ignition off on trying to start no engine lights and can't connect to engine ecu were am I best of looking first mate I think I've checked all fuses and all seem fine
You are the man, Dean! Thanks!
Thank you for that information!
Could this module be the culprit for a single error code or is it generally the cause of multiple problems at once?
Ccc unit not working , BMW logo shows then goes blank … is this related to the Kbm module . Mpm module in boot looks fine
Would something like this be the reason for a BMW to not start after sitting for 2 days without being jumped with power cables?
Sometimes nothing electronic would work in the car then I would have to jump it. Other times the car just wouldn't start but has power. The repair place told me there was a short and they fixed it and it seemed to work for about a month but then went back to it's old ways.
I worked at a BMW dealer for a good few years. Changed many KBM, in fact we used to call it the Kaboom module so frequent was their failure.
Hi when i change the module will i have to have it coded?
Hello Dean! Thank you very much for the video, I bought one of these to test if it alleviates my problems. My 2004 545i doesn't save the programming, and on BMW when they ran the scanner, when I turn the key off and on again, it erases everything without saving, losing all the programming, the KM also comes back every time the battery runs out. Could you help me which module is responsible for this part? Thank you very much
Hey, I hope you can help me! I have a 2008 BMW 528i. My iDrive screen doesn't work it gets power and I've even tried a new LCD screen but still no luck. I looked for the MPM module in the trunk but mine doesn't have one. Is there another location it can be in? Or would it be this kgm module that needs to change?
I have 2006 bmw 525xi and cluster is blank,radio is blank,engine starts headlights working.no electronic works inside the vehicle.pls ,i need help.maybe you have idea about my car problem,thank you
Hello BMW Doctor, great video and tips. Much appreciated. I am working on replacing the valve cover Gasket (My first time) on a 2012 550i which is dumping oil as soon as I can top off I get the low level within a few days. I am having some issues removing the wiring harness but still working on it. Is there a service manual that has detail removal in case I mess something up. I am documenting but it's tedious. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Good evening. My 2009 E71 X6 3.5D is experiencing an intermittent central electronics failure which comes on along with a steering angle error at about the same time. Can you give me some guidance please. Larry
Hi Dean,does the module need to be programmed after replacement or can they be changed one by one,thanks and chears mate 👍🏻
Did you find an answer?
Hi , great video.
I have a BMW 2 series Grandtour 2015. It won't start, no lights on dash board and battery is fine, AA confirmed it when they saw the car but were not able to start it. Remote key fob not working and when I open door manually with key the alarm goes off.
I hadn't used the car for 5 days and I didn't leave anything on to my knowledge.
Please advise.
Much obliged.
Warm regards
Does it not have to be linked to the rest of the car ... or is it plug and play
Great video. Would that apply to 520D also. I have a major electronics breakdowwn on 520D. All lights and wipers going constantly. Cant stop. Otherwise car driving very smoothly
