Door lock Problems 2005 X3

bushpilot · 10-12-2011, 10:12 PM

Hi all
First off I would like to say this is my first post aswell as my first bimmer

My girl and I have had it only a month so far but we love it. Thank God I talked her into NOT buying that 38k Rav 4!!!

Anyways, it is running great, but I have noticed for the last few days, neither of the remote locking keys are locking or unlocking the driver side door. They work just fine on all the other doors, just the driver side front is not responding. Needless to say, it is a pain in the ass only being able to lock and unlock the door with a key manually. I am hoping I have made some mistake somwhere along the way which will result in any easy fix. Does anyone have any ideas for me. And please note I am in a remote location about 6 hours away from the nearest BMW dealer.

Cheers All!

You may have a faulty lock, or it could be a faulty GM5. The relays go. There are some E46 threads about both subject.
