E90 320D - Central Locking problem ?

[Mudder]

Advice sought. 2006 BMW E90 320D. Suddenly both key-fobs no longer lock or unlock the car. I can manually unlock and start using the key but the central locking doesn't respond to the key action in the door. Button on dash to lock/unlock doors also not responding ? Any (informed) ideas ?

you might have an ssue with the control module... or the batteries in the fobs might be a little flat.

i would start by replacing the batteries and re initiating them

Batteries in the keys became ubsolute. That is my guess.

Thanks for the response - however - that won't explain why the dash button won't lock/unlock the doors ?

Is it easy to replace the batteries ?

Try disconnecting the battery terminal in the boot for 30 mins then reconnect :thumbs:

This will reset everything :thumbs:

check the fuses also ... the e90 has problematic door actuators, one of them may have blown the fuse, this could explain the problem.

I will check and verify - thanks...

 

[Mudder]

Thanks for all the advice. Found the problem... Blown fuse (57)...

Keep an eye on that fuse, the pre-lci has faulty door actuators, they tend to keep blowing the fuses. Had that problem on my 323i, actuators was replaced under motorplan.

I once looked for the fuse box, I found it behind the cubby, I tried to see what was happening, I gave up so quickly and ran away I cant see anything in there, lol

This happened to me 2 weeks ago.
Turned out i blew 2 fuses (36 & 37 i think?)
but once the fuses were replaced, it would only work again after i disconnected the battery for a while.
Im sure this will help
