Electrics Gone

Post by X5 Newbie2017 » Thu Jun 08, 2017 3:41 pm

2007 X5

Hopefully someone can help as have been to 7 mechanics and no one can help even after putting it on the computer.

Battery went flat so had it changed.

Approx a week later the screen for sat nav/radio screen went blank. Radio stopped working. Parking sensors stopped working.

Has been this way for months now and driving me insane.

Apart from this the jeep is running fine but no one can see any problem apart from that there is no power going to the screen.

Anyone help? :(

These cars have lots of electrical gremlins. occasionally replacement batteries can be duff. Can you get it drop tested? did it come with a warranty The radio and sat nav screen are one and the same so it isn't two separate problems. Possibly the parking sensors have coincidentally gone on the blink, but highly unlikely if all of them have gone at once.
Back to basics me thinks. Get the battery fully charged with something like a CTEK 8 stage charger/conditioner if you can. One fully charged then full disconnect and touch the cables to discharge everything. Leave the battery disconnected for fully 30 minutes. Then reconnect and see if any of the problematic systems come back on. It is very unusual to have no errors recorded when hooked up if there are problems.

Please try the above then post back.

Someone like X5Sport is good at the electrics questions
