So first radio does not work have the navigation and after my x5 is 1/4 of tank it stops and shuts off looked around the forums and it is either the fuel filter or fuel pump so I changed the fuel filter first and that wasn't the problem. So I still have to change the fuel pump to see if this will fix the problem



Second problem started when I took it to a shop to get coolant change, after I pulled out my car blinker started to act funny. Later that night they stopped working in the cluster but work outside same with my high beams and fog lights they work they just don't show in cluster. Also they work when they want too sometimes everything works like normal except the radio! So I ended up charging the battery and reseting the computer and cluster problem went away for a day but came right back. I checked all the fuses and they all good. Took it back to the shop and they couldn't find anything. So I ended up buying a new battery and problem went away for couple days but came back):


I had electrical problems too but read that changing the ignition switch would cure them. IT WORKED!!!!

Wipers had stopped working, lighting.... I read that if there is a short in the ignition switch it screws up the computer when the car starts.

It's fairly easy to fix, and the part is less than $100. Getting it exactly back together was a slight challenge. There's still a little gap on the side of the steering column.
