E53 Auxiliary Water Pump issues..

[turquise1]

Hey guys,

Basically I am getting 'Auxiliary Water Pump short circuit to ground' error on my INPA testing.

I am also having some battery drain issues and I would like to make sure if this problem is not causing that either.

I am trying to reach to pull its connection but its in such a tight place. Is there a DIY to replace this if necessary? If not how could I reach it to test the connection? Through the headlight?

Thanks for all the help in advance..

I would just buy a new one.
I didn't have any drain problems, but it buzzed like
a swarm of bees.
Replaced with new, works perfect.
It is a very important item for proper heating and coolant flow.

Thanks for your response.

Is there a DIY somewhere for this?

Thanks again,
