Wow, thanks for the very in depth reply!!! I'm not sure how much of the above I will have the capacity to do myself, but will start looking into it and report back.

Sorry I forgot to include...

Thanks for the tip. I will check on that. Alternator was just recently replaced (hopefully still under warranty), and battery is only 2.5 years old (its a 48 month).

Thanks for the response, but I don't think that is the issue. I'm pretty certain I didn't leave the turn signal on when parking it. As for the F to C change, that happened while driving (when I...

Another weird electrical problem...one headlight won't turn off

This might be the last straw for me with my X5, but I thought I'd post here bc one (of many) previous problems was solved easily with a member's help. I don't know how this is connected but I'm sure...

Hmm, maybe...that's beyond my scope of knowledge. Odd that it would have started up and driven fine about 2 hours after going through that car wash, but 24 hours later doesn't work. I'll see what...

Kinda doubt that it is dead dead...maybe discharged due to something else that happened. That's why I'm going to give a shot at jumping it tomorrow before calling for a tow. It's less than 2 years...

Went through carwash...now X5 won't start

My 06' 4.8is, which ran great for the last two years that I've owned it, is suddenly giving me tons of problems. In the last 2 months I had to have fixed a major oil leak, replaced ignition switch...

Wow, thanks for the tip!!! I think you may be right. My problems sound VERY similar to what is described in the thread linked below. I tried the the 'visor test', and it did indeed make the airbag...

4.8is has suddenly developed a plethora of (possibly) connected issues...any ideas?

My 2006 4.8is ran like a champ for the past 2 years since I bought it, until recently. It has developed a plethora of issues, which I believe might be related, and are possibly due to a computer...

What I meant was that I was going to get a replacement key from the DEALER who advised me to call a second locksmith, as opposed to the one who told me to smash a window (still can't believe that was...

I'm not sure if 'picked' is exactly what he did (can you really 'pick' a broken lock?), but something like that I guess. I didn't watch him do it, to be honest. LOL, as someone who repairs stuff for...

Problem solved! Well, at least the immediate problem. The (second) locksmith was able to get the door open and fix the lock (it was a broken pin), so I did not need to resort to smashing a window....

True, true. How does it get programed though? I can't imagine that you just stick it in the ignition and it automatically does it. Also, I know keys aren't as unique as people think they are, but...

My understanding though is that a new key can only be paired to the car via the ignition, and I can't get into the vehicle.
