BMW ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SOLVED // BMW 3 Series JBE Replacement 

I found your channel yesterday, and watched a lot of your videos. When I saw video "My BMW is dead..", I said, omG, it's not happening. Than I watched this video where you repaired the car. It's so nice to see how much time you spent upgrading your BMW, and thank you for showing everything like DIY videos. I just want to say, thanks dude, it's pleasure to watch your videos. Best regards from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

You actually do a great job editing and showing components and how to remove close up, thank you

love the genuine excitement of the outcome in real time. We all know that moment when it actually works! great video

Bro .. I want to thank u!!! I was doing a retro cic swap, and I didn't disconnect the battery. 😢. I touched the monitor wires together during the swap. Then bam all hell breaks loose. Wipers turn on full speed, whinnying noise from my firewall, no electronics in the interior. But my car did start. But I couldn't control my headlights from being on. Man I just wanna thank u really 🎉. Did the swap step by step as u the walla. Thumbs up bro

Great BMW information! I've subscribed to your channel.

So sick dude congrats on the fix! Cool that it only cost you 60 bucks, glad you got your ride back!

Glove box removal is just 2 torque 20s and a phillips for 4 screws holding onto bracket.

AWESOME VIDEO MANNN you honestly save me so much money with your videos man keep up the great content coming :))))))

fantastic work!!!!!

I am glad you fix your car man

Glad ya got it sorted bud 🤜🤛

Dude hell yeah! Electrical problems are the worst. Glad she's back.

I’ve currently got a rear light issue where my passenger side back DRL isn’t working could replacing the junction box solve it?

Very helpful...need to access the his to add linbus wire for heated seat...didnt know how to access it !!

Hey mate . My bmw e90(316d)(2009) is showing yellow engine light which come up time to time. I get it checked with ISTA+ unable to communication most gatway. Unable to communicate to head unit. What could be the problem, is it big problem please guide me. Thanks Anil

Oh.. Finally! Gz

Is water pump related to the junction box?

Great job

I have 2011 bmw keeps blowing f37 fuse any input would be greatly appreciated

Hey I get no power to fiber optic chasing down this no sound problem but head unit works. Could it be this ?

So glad you finally fixed your car, man! But one question remains. What was the culprit that created this defect. Per my knowledge this JBE are not breaking by their own, intead it must be something that created a short circuit.

What code should I respect when I change it ? Tha H2 code?

I have BMW X1 E84 Total Electrical system off so how to solve

Good work bro

I have a 2008 and I don’t have a screen near my air-conditioning loves did you install that?

Hello friend's how are you? I have a BMW 520 2007. About 4 months ago when I start the car the eye browse start flicking 4 to 5 times and then it stops, after 4 weeks it shows on the dashboard that's daytime light on the right hand sideg it doesn't work, I checked it's ok not burned. it stayed the same. 10 days ago I was driving then I heard a banging noise, I stopped tornd the car of waited for a Koppel off minutes then I start the car the noise still there, the radio and the dashboard lights are off and the noise still making coming out of the speakers and it's annoying and all the lights on the left hand side are off. Have you came across this problem or anyone else's that's you know. I will be glad to hear from you. Thank you very much!

My radiator fan won’t work and I have replaced two relays and checked the radiator heat sensor so I ordered a new fan and I was just hoping not to have to deal with that you got any suggestions?

Great video ! I’m experiencing some electrical issues too. Can you say more about what issues u were experiencing? Like was it completely no power, or were the buttons/switches not working?

Im expecting that JBE module would cause the high battery discharge warning also, might be thinking of replacing that part

Got my sub brother! I own a 2011 328xi. Been having some issues with the Electrical fault error showing up. (The car on the T stand looking icon). I’m hoping it’s just a bad battery but if not I’ll have to dive into the other electronics. Wish me luck!

Awesome!

thanx a lot dude

Any ideas y my drivers door and passengers door doesnt lock and y the sound comin out my idrive system only.sounds ok if i put it to the left sife of the car speakers and not the drivers side i put set it to all speakers the drivers side just pops and crackless ?

Hey thanks for this! Did you replace the FRM as well or just the JBE?

the new bcm, did you have to program it? Or just install a new one and that's it?

Congraaaattttssss!!!

Great video, thank you. My 08 528i has lost all power and I can't get the passenger door open. Any recommendations on how to open it so I can do what you did? Thanks in advance.

Where did you send off your ECU and CAS to get tested see if they are working properly or needed replacing? My car is getting some lights on but none on dash nor starting. Window buttons not working nor radio power. Battery is new

knew it ! damn jbe had the same issues on my e92

When you had no power did your key get stuck in the socket

I have a 2008 750Li that will not go into sleep mode the push button light stays on the dvd navigation runs a thumbing sound is coming from the passenger side sub this is causing my battery to drain and I had to replace the ECU which the dealership said it was fried and the have no idea what could be causing these problems

I can't seem to find the jbe there is a air bags in its place

Would this module cause a A731 code to pop up? Says it’s the junction box, my car has a new battery but dies if I leave the lights on for 2-5 mins, it’s drawing power

I just got a 2003 530i and there’s major electrical issues like the door sensor and coolant low, and it says it needs service on the engine, and check engine lights on, check brake lights, but everything is fine, the car runs great, might even run better then my Honda accord 2007, but for I don’t know what is wrong with the electronics, I’m going to check tomorrow then right down the problems and try and erase them to see if they come back but if they do what will be the issue? Would I have to change the central electronics module?

Does the module have to be exactly the same mine has the jbbfe3 would a jbbfe2 work?

What electrical issues were you having before? I’m having wipers being stuck.. parking brake light illuminates when driving even tho brakes are brand new and hand brake down.. passenger seated seats don’t stay on.. they turn on them go off. My tach sometimes doesn’t show gas meter. And my Speedo goes from whatever speed I’m driving at than drops to 0 than returns to my current speed. And my rear passenger windows cut out when rolling up or down got hit the button again to continue

Can I get a second hand jbe from the same year and model BMW and plug and play?

Thanks bro

that hand is very important, I couldn't understand anything you said without it.

Hi great job !! i changed that to on my 630i e64 but it does n t start and electric windows and all the rest do not work .. do i have to code it ? Becaus you re was fixed after putting it in , no?

Where did you get the headlights from

Hey I’m trying to do a DIY on a metal bar that broke on the rear of my bmw but I don’t know the name of the part, I was wondering if I sent you a pic or video you could tell me what’s it called ?

I'm trying to look for your old video see what was the electrical issue was but cant find? I'm having issue with the passenger aftermarket hid light would turn on then off. I would have to turn car off again for it to turn on but it does not remain on not sure if the ballast is going or some electrical issue as your?

Does the FMR has to be coded to your car as well?

Would happen to know if this module can create interruption in 4*4 system co apparently ECM is not communicating with ECU in my e92 328 xdrive .

how many miles are on your car now? any other major issues besides from this one ? i have a 2011 328i x drive lci and i am having alot of suspensions and steering issues.

Hi there, my 2011 F10 535i got the similar electrical issues. All in a sudden my windshield wipers will go on and off itself randomly. Then my alarm, locking system, backup camera....etc won't function, I can lock the car but no beep sound, trunk won't open, air conditioning won't blow cold air......etc. I am suspecting is the JBE software error. Can you suggest the company that did the remote coding for you. After I get the part, I definitely need a professional code it for me so the car will back to normal.

I'm interested in getting a used 328i, and live in the Northeast. How practical of a car is it year-round?

Hi all! It appears I have a problem with my atm (atm01t2us4g) from a NBT Evo id6 set I recently bought. Does anyone know of a coder/component repair service/place I can get it repaired? PM me with details or post here if you like. The set was out of an unfortunate M4 that was written off. The head unit works, the atm not so much. Thank you for any help in advance!

hey there need some help retrofitting seatheating i run into this issue, i need to connect the run the pwm wire from the jbe to both seats, bmw e90 318i n46b20b now i connected 38 but 34 already has a wire inside.. this is where i am supposed to put the other wire.. as i look at the pinout from the jbe it says following `pulse width modulated signal for drivers seat heating´ but my car came with most cheapest seats which im sure they didnt have seat heating.. anyone knows what to do ? thx guys

People over here in Germany code their amber lights to be the running lights (which btw is illegal here) and you do it the other way around in the US :D

How did you know what JBe to buy?? I am in same boat there’s a lot on eBay but not sure which to buy. Do they all work just need recoding? Why couldn’t your original just be recorded?

Hey JD, I found your channel trying to figure out why my CCC unit module stop working. I have no power to the CCC unit and no power to the display screen for my idrive. I just recently replaced the a/c heater blower fanin which I needed to remove the the CCC unit but when I reinstalled it. It just stop working. I have a dashboard message symbol SOS crossed out. Any pointer will be helpful at this point before I take it to the Stealership. I live in Boston.

PLEASE SEND ME THE NAME OF WHO DID YOUR REMOTE FLASHING. I HAVE A 08 328i CONV AND IT HAS QUIRKS i DO NOT UNDERSTAND. ONE HEADLIGHT OUT, SAT OR BT NOT WORKING, CRUISE OR TPM RESET

What were the initial electrical problems?

Did My Beamer Brain tell you the problem was a bad JBE Box or did you figure that out on your own? Thanks for the info and congrats on the car fix.

I’m looking at a 2007 328XI powers up just fine but when you hit the start button, nothing happens I’m wondering if I don’t have the same problem with that car as you have. I don’t wanna buy it if it’s gonna be a nightmare.

could this module cause mhd flashing issues??

What why the car doing? Was is not cranking at all?

Well done. Is the bimmer brain guy available for hire?

how long did the coding take for the FRM and the JBE?

what codes was the car throwing?

My 2011 328xi had the 215 code for a couple of months. The battery died 2 days ago. I tried jumping the car with a portable charger and upon startup the engine ran incredibly rough, the wipers activated, as did the turn signal. Then the engine sputtered out. I placed the battery on trickle charge overnight and took it to my non-dealer repair shop today for a new battery. On the drive over I had an alert the left front door was open which it was not. New battery installed plus registered. However the shop said there are issues and not sure how deep they should go without my authorization. I picked the car up and the code is ee-231. Currently the interior lights don’t turn on, neither front window switch works, the doors will not lock(pressing the unlock button on the remote or central console produces and actuator sound), there are no instrument cluster lights, the turn signal will not activate, the high beams nor fog lights turn on. That is it so far. Non-working turn signals are my most immediate concern. Thoughts? Not sure if there was a voltage spike when I tried to jump my car before the battery was replaced. This shop has experience with installing BMW batteries.

Would a bad jbe cause No power to the radio/idrive fuse ?

Did the e90 have comfort access? I have had major problems with the comfort access. I think these jbe get shorted due to water leaking on the windshield seal. My SA showed me the cracked seal. I have most problems after a car wash. It sucks now my doors dont unlock at all accept with a key.

Hi , could you tell me how programming the new JBE? I have bmw standard tools. My module is still responding so i can make a "copy". May i copy that to the new JBE? thx for help

ok so quick question , what symptoms did you get for a bad JBE , deadlock immobilised car???

PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT TYPE of electrical problems u were having..thank u were your lights on and brakelites w/o turning off and ur wipers on all the time? please adivse..thanks

Are there any more mods planned for the e90?

Hello mate, and you don't have to code it, when does the JBE module change?

I have a issue with my 328i 2008 replace battery, alternator but seems to die while driving, like a bad ground, while driving radio will stop working,then windows and lights and boom batterey dead any ideas?

How did you know which JBE to buy? I’m having the same issues with my FRM and JBE but I have yet to find any definitive information on which JBE is compatible with my specific car. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Where do I find the coding buy ?

I no longer have the clicking sound in glove compartment After I replaced my Black Starter Relay (Multipurpose) but my car wont start nor do i have power. I cant even use my Portable Jumper. I guess I will be doing this JBE replacement. 2011 Bmw 328i Base Model Sedan

Hi JD, great video - helped me a lot. Any chance you can share the person/business that remotely coded your car? Would like to get in touch for the same issue. Thanks

Just had my BMW side repeaters fixed after they'd stopped working, even though the front and rear turn indicators were fine. How?..a 'software' reload. I don't know cars anymore.

Hey great video man! Just did this myself and my car started, hopefully the issue doesn’t come back for me. Had a question tho, Do you know what would happen of the new JBE is no is not coded to the vehicle?

It would be nice to see why not how. Why u think JBE is the cause? What was the troubleshooting logic? Did u trace the problem back to it?

All wiring diagrams BMW are in this application android (Bimma EWD)

what was wrong with car beforehand?

Hi I know this is old post. My 2005 BMW 645 with 4.4L and it seems like I also having my JBE fried as well. When you buy your JBE, does it have to be from exact car model or it can come from different E90 with same engine? If yes, I saw a 2005 bmw650, or can I get a JBE from other BMW with 4.4L engine? I know you have been through a lot with your bimmer and it helped save a lot of money for so many bimmer owner just by watching your videos. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

i cant communicate thru obd2 at all theres power to the foxwell nt530 bmw software loaded but it says cant comunicate . what should i do ? 07 328xi rebuild title car .

hello , how do you find identical safotware to code frm ? is it alradey in inpa , ncs expert tool ?

Im getting a code A0B2 CAS: Supply, terminal 30E/30L . There is no power coming from the main fuse box. I checked the power cable and it does not appear to be damaged liked the ones I have seen on the 3 series. Is it likely that the JBE is failing and causing power issues?

I wish I saw this before junking my 3 series.. had the same problem, I have #beamertears

Hello jd I'm dealing with the same issues. I would like to get the business that remotely coded your bmw. Thanks

My 525xi bmw under the hood f01-f05 no power fuses not blown.

what a pain in the rear!

My fuel gauge, central locking ( the indicators flash and the car powers off but the actuators don't lock), air conditioning(cooling) and wipers do not work (wipers turn on and stop on the middle of the screen), The only code I get is a 5E5B DSC button code and A738 JBE power supply interrupted code. Everything else works. Is it a FRM or the JBE that is faulty?

Wondering if I need a new JBE module. 2012 E70 Diesel. Had low battery warnings while adding features to my Android screen. I then lost power to Steering Column tilt and all Climate Control. Some Carly adapter OBDii error codes are saying timeout at JBE box. The error codes are difficult to find info for. -- Systems error = Junction Box Passenger: K-CAN MESSAGE (ID2BF, VALVE): FAILURE BY TIMEOUT, Code 00A737 -- & -- Junction Box Passenger: PT CAN ID2A6 OPERATION WIPER TIMEOUT / K-CAN MESSAGE ( ID 246, STATUS AIR): FAILURE BY TIMEOUT, Code 00C914 Any help greatly appreciated!
