BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Lock
Operation: Central locking malfunction problems

This video simply illustrates some of the problems that can arise when using central locking. In this specific case, as you can see from the images, the remote control of the key does not act on all the locks as the driver's door remains locked. The problem is not necessarily in the remote control of the key in fact the locks of the other doors work. In cases like this it may be necessary to remove the internal door panel and check the actual door lock as well as any electrical connections. To remedy this problem you will have to open the door by inserting the key in the lock. With the key inserted by turning the key slightly, the lock does not work the same as it always works through the electrical system so you must necessarily rotate the key completely (to the right or left depending on whether you want to open or close) until the door is unlocked. in a mechanical way.

At this point we block the bonnet with the lateral rod; then we accompany the bonnet down to close it again!
