Dealer Programmed Backwards?

[RMak]

I was one of the few who recieved the BMW recall notice on the 2004 m62 engine x5's. Brought it into Hassel BMW Dealer and all went well. They had my x5 longer than I anticipated but it was alright since I have another car. Got my x5 back and it drives like a champ but not until maybe 5-6 days later when I tried to spray my windshield it wouldn't work. I noticed the rears sprayed and even the headlights. But I didn't think much of it because of the cold weather (even if I do have the cold weather package) and figured the windshield spray nozzle lines were frozen (I even posted here about it). Then I took the x5 for a spin today and notice that the front nozzles still wouldn't spray. I pulled back the lever and the rears sprayed again. So I tried the rear window and pushed the lever, then the fronts sprayed! I was like wtf...

So now I figured when BMW reprogammed the ecu and tcu from the recall, they must have reversed the control lever direction of the spray nozzles. In all honesty, I can live with it, it's not the worse thing that can happen but I really don't feel like going to the dealer to have this fixed. Now can a gt1 fix this? Is there a way I can reset this in anyway? Any input is appreciated.

Hey,just open the hood and switch the connectors between the washer pumps.
Had the same thing happened once. They are the same pumps,same connectors,simple fix.
Good luck

They clipped the washer pump motor connectors on the wrong motors. Simple fix...Kinda funny though

I think it is only for the N62 (M62 gone in 2004) correct? I knew what you meant though . . .
