After reading quite a bit about this issue, I'm guessing that it is not usually an 'event' that triggers these failures, but rather a slow decline in the overall health of the electrical system due to: a - poor charging (weak alternator theory) b - inadequate capacity (weak battery theory) c - poor system design (weak engineering theory) d - the occasional component failure (weak components theory) e - too high a demand (weak user theory -- favored by dealers) f - some combination of the above Note: in all but d (a failed component) the overall health of the electrical system can probably be monitored/judged by its voltage at rest. And more importantly, most of these failures can probably be predicted with nothing more sophisticated than a volt meter. Funf Dreisig Last edited by FunfDreisig; 08-28-2009 at 05:35 PM. |

BMW Assist knew none of the info several of you posters have thoughtfully provided. And naive me, I thought the service people they called might have to know some of it to qualify. But the second tow truck driver was veeerry familiar with towing X5s. "Yeah, I tow 'em all the time." By the way, I promised pin to pin info on relay failure. Sorry, there wasn't much more except Pin #1 to Pin #2 in the fan cut-out relay had no power.

Speaking of which, why the hell isn't there one on the instrument panel. That and a temperature gauge.

Not to worry Funf Dreisig AG has yet another "must have" X5 accessory in development, that will make you the envy of every teenage street rodder in your neighborhood. Funf Dreisig |
