I successfully installed the replacement switch independently; I severed the wires and used a heat-shrink solder connection, which functioned well. Total cost: £55, in addition to a Saturday morning.

To conclude this discussion, it seems that the most economical option for purchasing these items is the BMW spares counter. £55 per unit. In all other instances I examined, the prices exceeded £70.

Your assistance is much appreciated; thank you. The component is priced at $21 on that website, although it appears as £65 at the point of purchase. Indeed!

I have conducted diagnostics and am seeking to replace the boot microswitches on my 2013 E89. Has anybody purchased these recently? I am have difficulty locating them online. Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

To confirm accuracy, I often detach a wheel and measure the disc diameter in situ; sometimes, a visible component number is present on the brake pads, but this is not always the case.

Yes, that is correct

Given that it is 2024, the original battery should be covered under warranty since it is less than one year old.

I will address it tomorrow morning. I really appreciate it.

Do you intend to clean the contacts?

Thank you for your response. I used INPA to decode the codes, but no pertinent information emerged. I should consider acquiring a pre-owned LCM for testing purposes.

Greetings, everybody. I am experiencing two issues with the lights on my E39. They may or may not be connected. The first issue is that my turn signals flash every 5-7 seconds without any corresponding indicator on the dashboard; there are no arrows or clicking sounds. The second issue pertains to the majority of the lights, including headlights, turn signals, dashboard, and danger switch lighting. The lights flicker irrespective of the engine's operational status (I presume the alternator). Notably, as I rotate the wheel to decrease the dashboard light, the flicker becomes more pronounced and slower. The mechanics I consulted exhibited a lack of confidence, with one suggesting that I resolve the issue independently. I attempted to unhook each bulb individually, but that was not the issue. Kindly assist.

Thank you everybody for your responses. It seems that, at my trim level, they are not intended to be activated. It is somewhat frustrating because after paying $50,000 for this car, it does not allow for the activation of the LED strips during the daylight, unlike almost every other vehicle on the road. Absurd. However, I am assured that the car is running properly.

I said in my post that they are activated in the settings.

My spouse and I have just acquired a CX90 Premium. I am attempting to understand the Daytime Running Lights; now, I only see the headlights when the lights are set to the automatic setting. Daytime Running Lights are on in the settings; nevertheless, the inner LED strips illuminate solely when the turn signals are engaged. I have seen many YouTube videos indicating that these lights are illuminated in white when the turn signals are not engaged. I have tried many solutions, nevertheless I am unable to get illumination for any lights save the turn signals. Is this typical? Thank you for your assistance.

Yes, I can confirm that my vehicle is equipped with NTG 5.2, which is the 2018 pre-facelift version.

According to my knowledge and as shown by the linked discussion, the touchpad at that time was only available as an option for the Comand with Premium Plus. My 2018 A205, equipped with AMG Line PP and Comand, does have it. Therefore, the items are not eliminated, but rather set aside exclusively for the 'superior' specifications.

this….

I have spoken with you privately, specifically requesting that you confirm your intentions.

Regarding the chime going off, I cannot determine the precise impact of leaving the doors open for half an hour on the battery. However, I can confirm that these alerts are not directly related to the battery's charge but rather occur automatically. I cannot confirm if the vehicle has a low battery warning feature, but I hope that we would get a notification in such a situation. However, it is possible to receive a warning chime even while everything is functioning well. An instance of this is a recent journey I undertook, covering a distance of 400 km in one direction, without any breaks in driving save for brief stops to refuel the vehicle. Upon arriving at my location, I deactivated the car's engine and proceeded to open many doors while retrieving items from the vehicle. Specifically, I opened three doors, which were ajar for a duration of a few minutes. Shortly after my return, I realised that I had forgotten something in the vehicle. Therefore, I promptly opened a few of doors for a brief while. After a few hours, I go to relocate the vehicle (a journey that takes about 1 minute). Upon reaching the new parking area, I am alerted by a sound indicating that the battery is in danger. There is no possibility that the battery could have been even remotely endangered by the little act of leaving my doors open for a mere 3 or even 4 minutes, particularly in light of the preceding 400 km travel. On the contrary, this is a pre-programmed automated alert that keeps track of the number of times you open the door. I came across information, maybe on this site or elsewhere, stating that the vehicle keeps track of the duration for which the doors are opened. Each time the car door is opened, it increments the count by 5 minutes. Consequently, when this cumulative period reaches 30 minutes, the chime is triggered, irrespective of the battery's condition. While I have not conducted a formal experiment to verify this, based on my own experience and observations of my car's behaviour, it seems to be true that the chime sound corresponds to certain events. Allegedly, there have been complaints about this issue being bothersome, prompting Mazda to either have already extended or be on the verge of extending the duration beyond 30 minutes. However, I lack any more information on the matter. If individuals claim that they have not experienced the activation of this chime, it is possible that they have not reached the required threshold or that some models need a longer duration to trigger the chime. Mazda promotes these technologies as intelligent, however, I fail to see any intelligence since they do not appear to respond to real-time situations but instead rely on predetermined settings. It appears that Mazda has implemented a cost-saving measure to prevent customers from experiencing dead batteries. By introducing an automatic chime, Mazda aims to minimise the need for vehicle towing, which would incur expenses for Mazda if the customer is covered by Mazda Europe Service or its equivalent outside of Europe. This proactive approach aims to reduce the likelihood of battery-related issues. Another example of these "intelligent" devices is the oil monitor / service indication. Mazda's technology employs real-time monitoring of driving circumstances to dynamically adjust the anticipated oil change interval. However, based on my observations, it seems to be a conventional timer system. I was nearing my scheduled maintenance period, and the oil change monitor indicated that I had 2,900 km remaining before the oil needed to be replaced. 15 days before to the deadline, I received a "Service soon" alert. I inspected the oil service monitor and it said that there were 1,000 kilometres remaining until the next oil change. This decrease in mileage from 2,900 kilometres to 1,000 kilometres occurred within a week, during which the vehicle was not driven. When the monitor displays a distance of 1,000 kilometres, it continuously subtracts the kilometres in real-time. Therefore, if I go to the shop, I will have 996 kilometres remaining before the next oil change. Restarting the automobile resets the odometer to 1,000 km, and this has occurred several times. This implies that there is no intelligent mechanism involved; rather, it simply subtracts the distance travelled during each trip and then resets. I covered a distance of almost 900 kilometres in total after the vehicle's display indicated that I had 1,000 kilometres remaining. However, when I started the car in the morning to take it for the yearly service, the display once again showed 1,000 kilometres. I really hope that Mazda has included a real-time monitoring system to detect any potential issues with the battery or oil, and that we would get a genuine warning if any problems arise. However, I am currently unable to determine if the vehicle is genuinely equipped with such a feature. I would much like a notification on the battery status that has a serious tone, emphasising that the battery is indeed close to depletion rather than just sounding an irritating alert. In summary, I believe that the warning systems are automated and may not accurately represent the current situation. However, I acknowledge the possibility that my statement may include incorrect information, albeit it is not intentionally misleading.

If the notice shown on the instrument cluster is indicating a low charge danger to the 12V battery, this is a regular occurrence that occurs every time I clean the vehicle. The warning message was not received because the battery had a low charge, causing the automated message to be triggered as a precaution. The system operates on a timer and is affected by the opening of doors. After I finish cleaning the vehicle, I begin the engine and let it to run for 5 minutes in order to reset the timer and eliminate the chime. It is not a problem whatsoever.

I believe that both vehicles are equipped with similar suspension systems, but the Excel model is significantly heavier owing to its superior soundproofing and the use of acoustic glass. It is uncertain if you would see any discernible change as a driver, although it is possible that you may experience it... Additionally, Excel offers a leather option, which I personally prefer over the combination of half leather and fabric.

The thread contains comprehensive information on the specifications and configuration of my setup.

Simply attach it to the trickle charger without the need to unplug any components. I stored mine for many months over the winter without encountering any problems.
