BC button problemsf SOLVED!!!

[AV8R4AA]

I sent in my MID for pixel repair to bimmeronly.
a lot of guys here have had good reports from their work.

My MID came back and the pixels are working great.
My new problem is that now my MID BC button is inoperative.

I have been having radio and MID problems since ownership.
I'm asking if the concensus might have been a faulty pixel
repair?
The stalk BC button does scroll correctly and all functions seem to work.
I'm experiencing a dead/unresponsive MID BC button.

Any thoughts?

Are you absolutely positive without shadow of doubt (because you double checked) that all the wiring harnesses are correctly attached?

I found tonight fuse 73 with 7.5 amp is blown.
Several fuses I tried also blew.

I have a short somewhere but I looked at the wiring harness and it looked good.
The fuse that keeps blowing is the OBC fuse.

After an afternoon of spark chasing I found the problem.
I removed and sprayed every connection that had to do with radio/OBC.

None of that did anything. I started to dig deeper and found what the problem
was. I SUGGEST ALL OWNERS LOOK.
Pull up your emergency brake handle, pop out the leather boot.
Look down in there, the metal bracket that is the ratchet portion of
the parking brake assembly. Near the bottom is where the telephone wire
was rubbing on the sharp edge of the bracket. The alignment of the cable is such
that it rubs on the sharp corner. The repair was to split a rubber hose lengthwise
and wrap it over the sharp edge.

My opinion is that if your X5 hasn't rubbed through, it will in a matter of time.

I still have to see my Indy because I swapped out several different radios and MIDs.
My radio went back to transport mode from all the swapping.

i know this post is old but i found in 2 cases the wire breaks in the switch box stalk itself. I just repaired mine. Some solder, and heat shrink!
