Hi Guys,
I have a BMW 3 Series (E46) 2001 convertible.
I have been having a few problems with the Electrics and just wanted to see if I could get any advice on here before having to fork out on an Auto Electrician to take a look at it.
Both the rear warning lights are on (I have checked all the bulbs and they all work perfectly fine). They do however flick off for a minute or so but then will come back on.
My button to open the boot is intermittant.. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't so I end up having to open it manually with the key.
A month or two ago I did notice that there was a delay from turning the key in the ignition and the engine actually turning over but that hasnt happened for a while now (I would turn the key and have to wait about 3-5 seconds for the engine to turn over)
And also I have an intermittant quick relay on the right indicator (only right)
Does anyone know what this could be? My Dad seems to think there could be a dodgey earth somewhere but I have no idea where to begin looking.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many Thanks,
Tom
