Key fob won't unlock, but will open hatch.
Weird problem this week. My key fobs both won't unlock or lock the doors. But they'll unlock the hatch.
Likewise, the interior lock button doesn't work, and the interior lights don't turn on when I open the door. This all happened after an odd episode where my hazards stayed on for the first five minutes of a trip, while not clicking in the dash, and my blinkers wouldn't work no matter what I did. After about five minutes of driving it stopped and the blinkers and hazards work fine now. Ever since, I've had the fob and lock issue. I searched and found a GM5 (or GM3) module might be the problem. I found a site https://www.bmwgm5.com which will repair but the cost is $130. It looks like you can get junkyard units for much less than that. Would I have to take it to the dealer to recode if I got a different one? Anyone else had this problem and solved it any other way? My car is a 2003 with the five speed, in case it matters. Thanks!!
