Thanks for doing this video mate. My Full Beam, Indicators, Fog Lights, Hazards and dash light suddenly stopped working along with the low beam staying on all the time and been struggling to find somewhere to fix it for me. Will try and locate a replacement LCM and do this.
Thanks for the video. I'm having issues with my lighting. All of my lights work except the headlights. I've replaced the bulbs and nothing. I've also bought a new LCM which works the same but shows that none of my lights are working (they do though) any thoughts? Cheers
Assuming you've checked the powers & grounds as in video? Also is your replacement LCM exactly the same part number? (BTW: would be grateful if you could support the channel by subscribing - thanks)
my e46 sat dead for a few weeks, jump started it and while the cables were connected my headlights all worked, as soon as we removed the jumper cables they cut off and now won’t work, would you happen to have any ideas why that would be, only one indicator light works and they all worked fine before
Have a similar situation, except my ligts, fender and taillight indicators are fine, but not the ones in the front. When on, the indication on the dash is blinking rapidly (way faster than yours), i.e. it's like both bulbs are dead, even though there's no error on the dash and the bulbs themselves are fine. Did some googling and most frequent answer was either stalk switch or hazard light unit. But after finding your video I'm even more confused on what the problem could be here. :(
Hie, ihave a 2003 318i. First it was the isntrument cluster lighting not voming on and then lately the tur signals on the dashboard are not showing or they show up late, have swutching the LCM but nothing has changed. what could it be?
Excellent video: very clear and thorough explanation of the part and its use. Thank you for your effort.

Great, glad u found it useful, hope it sorts ur issues.
Richard, did you replace the LCM and did it work? I’ve got the exact same issue.
@@liamg222 yeah I did this and worked straight away
I’m goin thru the same problem currently for my 325i I figured this was an issue thanks for the advice !!

Nice guide, would definitely look into sorting out that dot though. Things like that really annoy me, the process looks straight forward enough to do
Thank you. Very informative. My 318 E46 developed this problem yesterday

Yes I think jumpstarting can blow these units so that makes sense.
very informative video than all ive been watching
thanks for the video. does anyone know where the LCM is located on a BMW E39 2000 (pre facelift) please. Thanks
I don't know I'm afraid.

I would say more likely to be the LCM unit. (BTW: would be grateful if u could support the channel by subscribing - thanks)
If you're still on UA-cam, you don't have lcm problem. you should buy NON POLARITY BULBS REPLACEMENT.
My e46 is 2001 and im install newrer light module 2004 with automatic option and how i can reprogram that to everything to work
Think you can use inpa/ncs-expert - u need to get the cable and software - try ebay.

Sounds like it could be the instrument cluster (or wiring to it).
Did you ever solve that problem?
My highbeams, blinkers, and fog lights don't work, could this be the culprit?
