What did you do to / for your E53 today??

[andrewwynn]

Longer pins in foxwell?

My foxwell is self powered so i forgot yours needs OBD2 power.

OK whatever, I have the parts for this.

Then this keeps happening:
76 DME/DDE does not fulfill torque request
78 Plausibility, accelerator and brake pedals
D3 Idle-speed control valve, mechanical fault

That last thing is expensive.

Can be just dirty. I bought icv due to similar error and turns out car was confused by trying to ingest the o-ring from the MAF.

For the DME errors, pull up throttle pedal and throttle plate TPS sensors on your scanner and confirm they both have both sensors reading properly.

I think in both cases one sweeps low to high and one high to low.

Replace the ICV twice now

OK, I'll check that. Battery voltage is 13.8 per scanner.

Now I need to get that rear door panel off to fix the window... it's got the roll-up/slide-out sunshades and I can't figure out how to get the card off without breaking things, and I've already broken off all the mounting pieces from the back of the door card...

Let us know when you figure out how to get that door card off please. I tried taking my rear off and have the shade too. Couldn't figure it out.

I found a few videos on the U tube. It doesn’t look hard but I haven’t tried it yet because poor lighting tonight. Mañana.

The shade has a little hidden spring clip on one side. Once you learn it it's easy. I've done a few times.

I no longer have e53 to compare and they did it completely different on e70.

The clip on the vertical (small triangular window) shade on the rear door is on the top of the shade housing, if I recall correctly. You need to work a pick or narrow/small upholstery tool into the space between the top of the shade and the door and push the clip down, while pulling the shade housing in towards the interior.

There may be a Torx screw on the edge somehow, but I can’t recall. I’ll take a look at my x5 later today and report back.

One video I saw claimed the others were all wrong, that you lift the clip UP not push it down. I'll try that after work today.

So...

No blown fuzes.

Obd2 power works for the Foxwell, but not the BT transmitter.
No power to central lock button (4way button works) rear console cigarette lighter has no power, BMW factory phone has no power, footwell power plug has no power.

R switch position is showing a fault, sometimes no power or voltage of 10v, but Foxwell showing 14v in system...

Console comes out (again) this weekend...

So after checking the fuzes and pins in the Obd2, it was at that moment I knew I fck'd up (in the console)

Still no tire has come in...
