Hi all,
as previously explained I got big problems related to fried footwell ( FRM ll )
History: Battery empty at dealers park, dealer tried several times to start it with jumper , finally installed a battery from toyota corolla, engine started and everything was working fine, and I bought the car......
The nightmare begun second day, brake lights stayed ON..... third day break and rear lights ON over night...... day 4 battery empty..... day 5 windows won't work normally etc, door locks ON/OFF by itself, NO ignition anymore,etc.....a big mess...... impossible to start the engine
I sent the footwell to Bimmerscan California, who said module is fried, impossible to recover data, needs to be replaced.....
Following Minitobe advices I bought a replacement with exactly the same serial at Jim's salvage in Sebring FL...... installed it...... and EVERYTHING WORKS FINE !!!!!!!!!!.........almost everything ,except two little details ( 2 at this time maybe I will discover more by using the car)

1) Turn lights won't turn OFF automatically after I complet the turn, I have to turn it OFF by pushing the lever up or down
2) windows work fine, but sometimes it goes down for an half inch when I open the door but won't go up to the seal rubber when I close the door, sometimes it doesn't go down at all when I open the door ( I mean for the half inch gap)
What to do? I understand the module probably needs to be programmed to match the car VIN, but BMW is too far a way..... and too expensive......and too complicated (appointment, bla, bla) and although I am ready to buy a K+Dcan cable with NCS expert software, I am not sure to be able to code it by myself......whatever is related to computer language is chineese for me

is it easy to use? ..... is there a risk I mess up something else? ......do I need something else than K+Dcan cable and NCS expert?

Many thanks to whom can help me.

 

To reset the windows. Key on engine off, hold the windows switch down, let window roll all the way down and hold it for 15 seconds. Then hold switch up, let window roll up and hold it for 15 seconds.

 

YESSS!!!! windows works normally again.... thank you very much......

 

no problem glad that fixed it.
