I wanted to thank you for your video I’ve been struggling for three weeks to get my BMW 530i to start I looked at your video today and all the stuff you mentioned and my problem was the battery terminal where if your car was in an accident it would disconnect when I reconnected it it started right up thank you very much have a great day!

Nicely done work on diagnosing this issue. And good thing you didn't burn down! I deal with corrosion on a daily with the fleet I NOW manage and I have been going through wiring and electrical systems since day one of starting. I cant stress enough on weatherproofing and making sure the electrical system is taking care of. We deal with electrical pumps and systems that are run for 8+ hours a day in a wet/humid environment. Great job again finding it and helping many out in your process! *I would also like to note that that was pretty bad corrosion to cause that split. For anyone else finding corrosion like this or off the ends of wire to check the wire further down the wire as corrosion seeps into the sheathing and corrodes further. At times it corrodes far further than just the obvious spot. I've had to replace full lengths of wire because I would open it up down and it was compromised all the way. Its not fun but having a clean, unrestricted and safe system is better than being stranded or worst, burned down*

Looks like the it got chaffed at some point then water leaks into the footwell, classic bmw! lol I used to have an E46 that would occasionally get water in the same place.

@chasewills7455 2 года назад

You might also check to see if you have a leaking sunroof. The wire might have gotten melted and then wet. Craziness. Thanks for the video. My 530i just stalled out and threw all the camshaft codes. Just replaced them and the fuel pump relay. Still cranks NO start so I will check the battery squib, as my wife does NOT tell me every time she backs into something 🙂

Amazing videos. Really appreciate the detail and clarity of the posts. I have a e46 m3 that's blowing the ignition fuses and giving the same symptom of crank, no start. I could really use some expert advise on the next steps. Back story: I did a top end refresh on the car, changed the vanos solenoid pack, oil disc, new vanos gears, etc. Put everything back together and car was running fine for about 2 weeks. One fine day, it just died. At first, I thought it could be the fuel pump. I replaced that. Then, I found out that ignition fuses F2 (30A), F3 (20A), F4 (30A) are shorting out as soon as I turn the key to the "ON" position. The interesting thing is that if I disconnect the ground (under the hood, driver side next to the ECM) that connects to the chassis, the short goes away. I use a PowerProbe ect 3000 to detect open/short.

My positive terminal is broken. So I looked for one whose cable isn't as thick as the original to replaced it. Although, the car is starting and charging but i want to ask if it wont have any consequences on the long run.

Hi, i need help with my car problem, the problem is my car crank but won't start, i checked injector signal, there's no signal, i checked ignition coil, there's also no signal, then i checked all fuse and relay, there's no fault. After that i checked all the wiring on engine, there's no problem with the wire harness, lastly i checked the ecm/ecu, i bring it to ecu repair shop they checked no faulty and i pay charge for checking usd60, after that, i try to start again, its still won't start, then i bring the ecm/ecu again to the bmw agent for checking with charge usd100, they also said there's no faulty with the ecu/ecm. I checked the fuel pump its working, i checked the pressure of fuelpump its working perfect. I checked the immobiliser, also no problem, Im still wondering with the problem and why my ignition coil and injector no power and no signal. Fault code on obd is P0341, P101b and P1061 , i tried clear, after a few minutes its appear again, anyone know what the problem? My car BMW 320i E90 2006, engine N46

@conservatorcivilus 2 года назад

In reality, you don't really know what the prior condition of that cable was when it still allowed your car to start every time. Many more strands of wire sitting in the midst of the corrosion could have broke down very rapidly within the last few days of starts or even a couple of last starts before it finally failed.

@troymoralisTM 2 года назад

I have a 2006 325i and I was having a weird rpm fluctuation problem, usually when its warmed up, it would go down to like 350 - 400 rpms then it would shoot itself back up to about 1200rpms and it would continuously bounce up and down until i held the throttle down into high rpms. I changed the plugs and it got wayyyy better for about a month and now it wont even start and the battery is dead. im going to get a new battery, correctly code it, and start somewhere near the MAF sensor, since i had some fuel coming out at the fuel rail.. any tips are greatly appreciated.

@zlabfab487 4 года назад

Good video. Is this common for the e46?

@millertimebmw 4 года назад

Maybe not to the level of mine, but a blown positive cable from a fender bender or poor connection will give similar symptoms.

This is not a crank no start video though. My car cranks but wont fire-up (start). It is definitely electrical. I replaced the junction box below the passenger seat. But there is still some wire not or electrical unit not working

@rulebraking Месяц назад

Very late to this thread but wouldn't a battery load tester have caught this with one test - admittedly one has to have one!!! 😁

@nicke2307 2 года назад

I was going to say corroded wire. just because you see battery voltage it doesnt matter because it does not measure current. a voltage drop test would have revealed it immediately

@DFletcher413 Год назад

I don't get how there was still enough wire to show battery voltage up front but then no alternator voltage in the back.

@millertimebmw Год назад

So remember, the thicker main cable is for starting and charging. My cable was not fully corroded through. Also, there’s a smaller cable off the positive battery post that sends voltage to run the vehicle.

@DFletcher413 Год назад

@millertimebmw oh right. I've always driven e46's and e36's and and do my own work but I never knew what that setup was all about because I've never had to deal with it failing.

@javiersolis9141 3 года назад

That wire in that condition under the back seat is not good, the cars that everyone sees on fire on the side of the road is the same reason there on fire, they put a aftermarket stereo with Amp and don't use a fuse breaker, thats very dangerous, BMW has no reason for that wire to being like that, they should have a recall on that.....
