BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Repair the central locking

This video shows how to remedy the malfunction of the central locking of a BMW 5 series. The problem, in this case, derives from the partial functioning of the response to the door opening and closing command activated by the remote. The malfunction is localized only to the rear doors and the boot lid which remain closed despite the opening command. After finding the fuse box (located in front of the passenger side seat) remove the cover that protects it. Obtain the fuse usage map found in the vehicle use and maintenance booklet. With tweezers (already supplied in the fuse box) extract and check the fuse corresponding to the function you want to control. Check the metal tab of the fuse and replace it if necessary. Now test the functioning of the closure.
