Gremlins!

Hi,

I inherited a 2007 318 E90. It had been stood for over a year and was full of mould. Cleaned it up and repaired everything that needed doing but there's one last thing I can't solve.

Drivers window would intermittently fail to work. Eventually stopped working. All other windows worked fine from drivers switch. Changed drivers switch panel and still no joy. Front passenger window now stuck down. Changed FRM drivers window still no joy and front passenger still stuck open. Since changing the FRM i have also lost rear parking sensors.

Drivers control panel does nothing now. I can open the rear windows from their respective buttons. I don't even get a relay click from the drivers control panel.

Put old FRM in and still the same. When starting her up I also get the vehicle inspection light come on even though its not due a service.

Checked fuses 21, 62,63,64 and all are fine.

At my wits end now so would love some help.

Thanks.

Charge the battery and unplug everything. USB, cigarette, aux included. It is electrical. I had a similar issue. Charge it and unplug everything.

If this doesn't work pull and inspect each fuse in the glovebox related to windows.

Getting any fault codes?
