The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[John in VA]

Has anybody ever had an issue with their electric fan staying on ? After turning off the car . Im trying to figure what's causing the problem.

Usually a sign that the final stage resistor (FSR) has failed. If you leave the fan running you'll kill your battery. Pull the fuse to the aux. fan.

Was running errands today and on one of the stops the damn (un)lock button on the console next to the hazard lights switch decided it was going to die on me, so had to unlock the car with the key fob. What the deuce? Does the battery have anything to do with it?

See if the hazard switch failed with it. If so, then the fix is simple with a piece of tape on the bottom of the switch.

Has anyone implemented a brake light kill switch? from reading above, it seems it'd cause some issues with DSC/ABS lights.

Hazards work. It’s just the lock button that doesn’t work.

Probably just need a new switch... no physical damage, I assume?
I might have a spare one, not sure. I can take a look at if you want, since I'm local.

Why would anyone do that? lol

It's been done once. But he didn't release a DIY. I remember that if you try to cut in any part of the brake light system, all the lights stay on permanently until you reconnect it.

Interestingly enough, when i got in the car today the hazard light does not work either (it did yesterday even after the lock button had broken) and its in the down position because when you press the button it does not go down. The lock button is in the up position because i can press it just that it does not do anything.

Perhaps i could swing by one day after work? since you are local, after all
