BMW 5 Series E61 / 3 Series E91 Remote Central Locking Not Work Diversity Module Receiver Wiring Fix 

Thanks for your clear explanation about the wire harness. I had only 5V on 3rd wire, but no 12V on 1st and 4th wire. All the fuses were good. I traced it back to one broken wire inside the rubber harness area (top right corner as you look from rear of car). I soldered an extra inch of wire to connect it up again (give it some slack😊). Remote locking/unlocking all working again. No more alarm going off everytime I unlock to get into the car! Yay! Cheers. 👍

I really appreciate these BMW diagnostic and repair videos. It is very handy as these are the more common, less spoken of quirks with owning these cars. Keep up the videos great work! Cheers from the USA!

Thanks. Save my day with the fuse suggestion.

Thanks for your advice, I have the same problem but I will use a flexible cables instead

Thank you very much✔

Helped a lot thanks very helpfull ❤

I have the same problem on my e61 will in vestigate cheers for the tutorial

Thank you for a great video! On my 2009 E61 the remotes (keys) stopped working, so I had a new set made. That did not solve the issue and I took apart the "diversity module" and found no obvious damage. I'm dreading this possibility - that the cable is cut somewhere under the lining. On the plus side, my lining is half-off anyway because I was search for the reason of flooding through the sunroof (stupidly enough, the rear outlet tubes were clogged and water just overflowed the inner rails and flowed over the roof liner into the battery compartment, and, what is worse, the spare wheel space which is crammed with computers and relays - yay!)... Anyhow, I'll give the cables a good look and hopefully I can reconnect the broken ones using some scraps...

Justin. Watched this other night. What a mission on the 5 tourer. I’ve an out of date Peugeot 206 on a very low mileage in the trade with faulty central locking. Not usually a problem. Just sell it as to lock manually car under £1500 car. But this one was unlocked boot as arrived but on latch. Now it’s a locked boot. No external boot key lock and now locked shut. So Opened manually and forced to stay open by removing bar on electrical lock. As it’s failed central locking this is a screwed up car. Either locked shut boot or boot unlocked off latch !!!! What with the car being uneconomical to throw more money at. The car doesnt lock. Or unlock. This isn’t a module this time but a failed CLocking system. Sold a lot cars over the years but one like this have not. Loose on the latch open boot or locked shit. Google confirms same. System down electrical lock boot no boot key ‘you’re in trouble’

Did this on my e61 myself two months ago, caused much consternation! However it resolved the remote locking issue but the HRW still not working even through I soldered that cable too.... I live live without the hrw for now, it's nearly summer here in the UK! This is a stupidly complex design again from bmw, unnecessarily complex.

Thank you for your help on this video. where are you located to bring my E61 to you ?

My central locking packed up today. The fob is fine so im guessing its the same issue. Rear wiper and heated rear acreen packed up too. Randomly, so did the journey computer from the i drive screen at the same time as the central locking. Guess im gpnna have to bite the bullet

I have e91 and I have a problem with low range ,i need to put key on hatch to unlock or lock ,battery in key is good no warnings on the dash

I've been watching various videos as my F10 5 series keeps having issues with the key (I think it's a leak as it stops working after a car wash or rain)... But I'm curious, how does this even happen? Seems odd for so many wires to randomly break.

thatbis problem on all wagon series, an radio antena is there

Hello my friend. Which kind of scanner do you used??

Hi, I've the same problem and more. I had some broken wires. I repaired them and bought used module cuz mine was with severe water damage. Now the remote works, but only if it is in very close proximity to the antenna in the spoiler. I've BMW E61 530d 2007. Can you suggest a way to fix it. Is it the module in your opinion? Thx in advance :)

I had the same problem with my E61 , all the wires was cut off , I weld all of them but still not working , the tailgate work fine but the alarm not , do you know what fuse is to central ? I change the 5amp “ you show in the video” but still nothing! Many thanks

Hi, what sort of price would that be to do this exact job? Thanks

What autal scanner are you using here

🤞🤞🤞

Diversity receiver

in the past month I've had central locking failure, parking sensor fault ( not a simple fix have to remove the whole rear bumper just to change it) and now it's on its arse with the self levelling rear air suspension fault... what a piece of junk.

jesus man. nails. clip them its so hard to watch your hands
