Trio of Electrical Issues Connected?

Spedmister · 11-11-2021, 12:30 PM

2016 BMW X3 xDrive28d has TPM flashing, climate control panel losing power/flashing, climate control turning on/off with it, and replace key battery warning. Searched BimmerPost with no luck.

All three of these issues started same day and have not corrected after numerous drives. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Are you still on your factory original battery?
May need to go have it checked...

Stopped short of popping the cover and touching the +/- for a tenner to do a full reset. Not certain it's on the factory battery or not.

No physical symptoms of a weak battery are showing. But timing wise it did start on a cold day (low 40's), though the temperature has since turned around back to the 70's.

Welcome to the forum...
Properly test the health of the battery, don't rely on "no physical symptoms". These vehicles are multiple computers on wheels and need stable power.
If the batt is healthy, read the errors with a proper scanner which may point you in the direction of the fault(s).
