New owner, opinion on an issue pls.

[o. l. t.]

Hi guys! Need your opinion.


Been on Club Lexus since 2003. Supermod from '03 to '10. Vendor for 5 of those years. 30k posts. blah blah...... you know.



Found most of my questions in search, still looking. Gotta find an owners manual or a PDF of one. Don't know half of the buttons on this thing. Owned several BMW's.... E36, E46, E34, etc...., never an SUV version of one. That's about it

SOOOOOOOOO this issue....

Passenger side door.

- Power mirror doesn't work
- Door latch trigger doesn't sense door is open
- Door lock doesn't work
- Window works...... from pass door, not driver door.

Ok so we know my driver Master Switch is possibly on the fritz from the fact the window works from the pass door. My question........... are all the other issues related to the Master being possibly faulty? Seems too coincidental the whole door is dead, almost... while the rest of the X5 is nearly mint. Doesn't add up. Gotta be something making it all dead even though I know there are issues with each part from what I have seen.

Other than that it's nearly perfect......... Just a leaky valve cover on the pass side of the engine and a VERY touchy throttle that seems to apply lots of power taking off at the slightest tap of the throttle, and occasional surges when driving.

Anywho, here she is. Traded my Lexus IS300 in on it. Haven't had time for pics other than at the lot when I got it yesterday.

Black on Black 2003 X5 4.4i (has 2001 wheels for some reason)

Wheels are Style 58, the chrome window trim sez non-sport...
rest of your situ will be potentially solved by the mavens here.

Much appreciated mD. Good stuff.

EDIT: PS- what does the sport have that I don't if it is non sport? (besides different seats)

Wider 19 inch wheels, firmer sports suspension, clear turn signals, black exterior door trim around the windows, bolstered seats, black headliner trim (forget what it is called off the top of my head. Anthracite I think) and I am pretty sure a different steering wheel.

Welcome, o. l. t.!

Excellent, thanks guys. It looks like I have nearly 80% of all the power options, but not a sport (as you knew). I don't have Nav, or rear seat heaters. Damn near everything else though. Cold Climate package and Premium package are both there.

The more I detail it, the more I like it However I still could use some electrical advice if anyone see's this that has the answer.

[motordavid]

We have heated front seats in our '01: nice. No rear heat seat, and the 4 times a year someone is back there, they have not complained...
tell 'em to bring an afghan blanket. Besides, how cold can a back seat get in TN, other than a few weeks a year?

Nav: I have read of retrofits here on the Board, but why bother? $300 or less gets you all the nav you could use, eg Garmin, Magellan, et al.

No wiring xpert, so that's my opin.
