Crazy locking problems...

[smdimjesus]

So I don't know exactly what's fucked up.... I changed my door clip a while ago. Now the fob doesn't unlock shit, and the button next to the hazard lights doesn't unlock shit. The button on the dash pops the trunk, all doors open from the inside, I'm leaving it unlocked. Still locks when It starts to drive. This is my secondary vehicle at this point because I'm having some starting issues aswell. Just need to figure out the locking issue. Fob aint worth a shit and the button doesn't unlock anything. Anything I can check or troubleshoot, I can provide any more info. Thanks. 2006 bmw x5

Check the connection on the door switch panel.

Where would this be located or where could I find a diagram. Thanks for the speedy reply.

The driver door switch just pulls out. (use a plastic trim tool or similar. The central lock button or the trunk button are the next most likely culprit

I use foxwell nt510 to check these things. It will show you the state of almost any button so you can confirm button pressed or not pressed

Lost my 510 in a car crash, forgot to retrieve it before it got towed. Where can I find all of these? also the window control unit that just pops out it is fucked up. there is a connection that doesnt have a securement when it orients into the box. It doesnt have the lever that plugs it all the way in.

For starters you need all workable units/components which includes the fob...put yourself in a win situation

Sorry I'm a bit confused, how do I go about this?

Add a screw or zip tie etc. You need to replace the 510. I bought a 710 much nicer.

510, 710? Those are scanners? And where would I screw or zip.
Could I not buy a new connector and re terminate the wires
