Good Afternoon Everyone,
I don't want to bore you with a long story so I'll get right to it. The last couple of months I've noticed the car cranking a lot more before it actually starts and it seemed to dip power during each start. It still had the original BMW battery in which I thought was on its way out.
About 3 weeks ago I bought a new battery and installed it, like one would do with any other vehicle. After the fitment I started the vehicle to see how she is, and then the classic FRM failure occurred. So right now I have no windows, indicators, hazards, interior lights, etc... Luckily the sunroof still operates so it helps a little bit.
I know I have to take the module in to have it re-flashed (provided it's not completely fried). At the moment there's a lot that needs to be done on the vehicle, so I'm planning to fix the FRM in the next month or two.
So...my question: Is it safe to drive the car the way she is? Or am I doing further damage by driving the car with the failed FRM?
