How to repair the lock actuators of a BMW 3 Series E90

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see how to repair the actuators of the central locking system of a BMW 3 Series E90 version that are not working. If the remote control does not work, we can open the door with the key. We then open the glove compartment and behind it we find the fuse box, and connected to it we find the legend with the meaning of each individual fuse, and we find the one for the central locking system, identifying it with the door with the key above it. So we check these fuses to see if we find a burnt one, but we know from information obtained from the internet that the one most likely to burn is number 57. On this car there are spare fuses and tweezers to extract them, so the work is very facilitated. We verify that fuse 57 is actually damaged, replace it, but the functionality of the locks is still not completely restored. We must remove the negative terminal of the battery for about ten seconds in order to reset the circuit, and indeed everything is back to normal.
