How do I find out problem about my BMW Z3. power windows, central locking will not work after I jumped the car

Question

After jump starting my BMW Z3, the power windows, central locking will not work. Is this something I can fix myself?

Answer 1

This happens from time to time, I believe it's due to a glitch in mechanism, I've had that happen on my 525 and also opening trunk internally, I'd take it to dealer get it checked as soon as your next inspection is due or oil change, I had to bear with it for some time, as I didn't have time to take it in. Problem goes away by itself, it can be at any given time. (Obviously consult your manual) Most likely it'll say to have it checked, (No time) As I said it should go away at any given moment.

I didn't fully read your question, very strange you jump started it, you are not supposed to, you would throw off the mechanism, you should've called road assistance, (should be part of the package, for a new car) otherwise could end up voiding the warranty. You might have a problem, you need to call or check for the problem at

By the way, if this is the case, you really don't have a choice but to take it to the dealer or a BMW specialist. I know of one, where are you located?
Hope this helped.

you gotta budget better. the shop gets the car why they are insured and if you do bad stuff to a car and anything you touch will be held against you in a court of law and the same principal apply to a car, you lucky you didn't take half the car out they factory set some stuff up to prevent theft if you have a burgler alarm you better get in to get the wires checked for ,i had to give up on it as a total loss it had a burgler alarm nott as big as my fist trapped at the rear base where there was plenty of pressure on it. the car was not designed to have a giant ball of wires trap between the block and the fire wal and it was traced to having to pull the whole sterring column out so if it run get ready to dump it if you see you really need a new harness if you have crossed wires in the burgler set up sometimes they have to put in a new starter in a car equipt with burgler stuff and they don't get the same things to happen that the other starter did.it not noticiable to anyone except under the condition that you try to jump it does the variables in where the starter came from it has ti be dead on if anything is wired different the feed back is your fried wire
there's no way out once the burgler alarm is add. you can only jump the battery or charge it when you have disconnected the cable totally away from the battery and the jumpers and or charger.. so if you open your hood and try that jumping stuff again,you'll see your harness is getting hot on the fire wall main heavy haress and could go up in smoke and fire when it burns the insulation through, you are shorted out on those pieces you said don't work know and will cause you further problems

If there's a topic with the important locking on your BMW then there's a topic which incorporate your key via fact there's a code on your automobile key that reads the important locking code of your motor vehicle if the biggest would not set off off your important locking then you incredibly will prefer a alternative key.

Answer 4

These guys are morons or something. That is either a blown fuse or a tripped breaker. Check your fuse panel box, on the cover it will say what each one is for. find the one that says power windows and pull it out and check it, if it's a fuse. If it's a little silver box about 1-1/4 in long, it's a breaker, and has tripped. Take it out and then put it back in,, that should clear it.

Unless you really want to dive into a good repair manuals electrical diagrams or you have one of those multiple hundred dollar computer diagnostic tools, you are probably not going to be able to fix it yourself. I know nobody wants to pay the exorbitant dealer repair costs, but sometimes its worth not spending countless hours of frustration.
