Textbook by all means blow your hurt my feelings whistle as loud as you want. It still won't change the fact nobody likes you or your attitude. Honestly you got me a bit confused. I figured you were some ol' codger angry at the world passing them by, now you're starting to sound like a wounded millennial. Maybe it's just me but the grown ups I deal with don't use words like "time out" to each other. These same people wouldn't feel the need to call in a moderator to save them from the evil words on the internet. also FYI: he, she, they, zhey don't matter either way because they all share one thing in common....Assholes, just like you My apologies to the OP for smearing shit all over the walls and seeing as we're getting back on track I will try to refrain. Also it seems I might be getting timed out...so if you don't hear from me again, don't cry for me Argentina Last edited by c-bass; 06-27-2021 at 01:53 PM. Reason: removal of the world "tear" before Argentina...had to sing it in my head |

like Andrew & oldskewel said low voltage conditions can make these cars do all kinds of crazy things so it would be wise to rule that out before moving on to the transmission. and quit holding out and tell us 6 cylinder or V8 already |

You're welcome.
My life goal is to crush the twatwaffles before me and hear the lamentations of their various genders.... Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

This is some very strong education and attitude correction.
Geez I didn't think calling someone a dude, bro, man, buddy, mate etc. could be offensive. But even my first post of this board goes to show that throttle position sensor was causing transmission errors...so I agree, transmission error would be the last thing on my list to check if you have major electrical problems. Really excited about you making a headway and can't wait to see you come back with more info on suggested diagnostics |

Alright thanks guys, I will shift my focus back to the electronics even though I am stumped. I will work on it tonight and be back.
"One possibly to quickly track the fault is rather than measure current on each fuse leg; disconnect battery from both terminals and measure each fuse output to ground. Usually that won't work because of electronics but because feels like a short it would work." I dont quite get that? How is that going to tell me anything with nothing going threw the car? Also its a V8, sorry. Thanks aging for sticking with me guys and gals |

You don't need power applied to measure resistance.
If you pull a fuse you can measure resistance on the downstream side of the fuse to ground. It should be a high reading. A 10a draw will be on the order of 12/10=1.2 Ω. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=61_1308 Good news the 4.4 has the same B+ terminal as the 3.0. Remove the terminal post in the engine bay on the firewall and that will disconnect the main unfused cable. Disconnect your battery when you aren't using the car or keep on as charger. 10a will ruin a new battery pretty quickly.

There is a set of big fuses forward of the spare tire under the trunk. Have you pulled those fuses yet? (First disconnect the B+ to determine if that is where your short is).
