Huge thanks to Cyba & bsamoul...I'm going to try it now. Norcal members fawking rock like a hurricane!!

Another note, when I drove to the bart station for the interview, I noticed err time I let off the gas, the car would lag almost like the brakes were being tapped. Do you guys think it could be related to me pulling and replacing all the fuses?

Danny

RBS is supposed to kick in, but not be too noticeable. Hmm... :/
Doesn't hurt to double-check if you put all the fuses back in the right places.

Lol. You think that's bad look at me today.
After I drop my wife at work this morning my car "the E90" started smoking and shut off on me. Then I tow my car to Steven creek BMW to have them look at. Then I got a called like 30min ago from the service guy saying my head gasket blown but the good news was my car is still Under warranty so it's free

Well, after checking all the fuses to no avail, I tried swapping the light assembly with the non-blackline piece and it did not work.

Chow and Cyba was mentioning that the wires to that assembly could be crimped or broken. I tried tracing the wires as best i could and i pulled the rubber grommet off but I did not see anything.

I will get a volt meter and check it out...

So much for an easy fix. :/

HRC · 04-13-2010, 12:00 AM

Sob...anyhow, I checked out real oem and found the repair wire set for the truck lid...

61129186184 $75.14

So maybe i can just replace that if that is the right bundle? Either way...

Danny

Yeah. You can test the harness before you order a replacement, too.

Hopefully it comes down to something cheap rather than something expensive (LCM).

HRC · 04-13-2010, 12:24 AM

How hard is it to replace the harness? I know I have to remove the grommet housing the wires to the truck, but I can't tell how far the wires go into the passenger side rear quarter panel before there is a connection point.

I heard it wasn't the best. Nothing has trumped the Hangover yet. Until Hangover 2 comes out next year...

HRC · 04-13-2010, 12:55 AM

Andy pandy was all hyped for HTTM so I told my wife to go see that. When they came back, I was like "good right?" only to get an "it's okay".

LOL.
