Hi all,

Im wondering if anyone can help me solve the steering lock fault on my bmw?

The steering wheel amber light has came on the dash and I can not get the car to get past the accessorie mode, you can still turn the wheels but can not get the cars ignition on.

I have a diagnosis tool to use the get rid of the lock but cant use it without the ignition being turned on? I have tried charging and bought a new battery but still no joy.

any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan

That's an odd one...although I'm sure someone else will know the root cause.

My thoughts are that it must be a faulty switch unit but without fitting expensive replacement parts I'm not sure what to suggest to diagnose it further.

Sorry not much help, hopefully someone else may have some ideas?

      Scraping sound under centre console on hard acceleration.

      Greydog, Officially the fuel tank needs dropping to replace this bracket as there are locating lugs between the cable bracket (correctly identified as No12 in diagram) and a few fixtures around it. Ive ordered an aluminium replacement for a similar price of £10 to the originals replacement. There is a lovely billet item available for £120, which can be fitted without the need to drop the fuel tank. Although I cannot warrant that cost to myself. Cable ties can be used as a temporary repair, however the exhaust needs lowering in order to remove a heat shield to gain access. I wish I’d “borrowed” some stainless cable ties from work. IMO, if I’m going to that length to make a repair, I may as well go for a permanent fix. Against my wife’s wishes, I’ll no doubt be climbing underneath sometime next week to fix it. I had surgery on my collarbone on Monday due to a mal union following an accident a couple of yrs back. I’ll report back once I’m done, maybe with some pics and a brief guide to assist others. Apparently it’s quite common on F series BM’s.

      Hi, thanks for your input, but I've finally found a lens in Australia. It's exactly the right one, so good result. Phil

      Scraping sound under centre console on hard acceleration.

      Hi Kevin Well looking at www.realoem.com it looks as though above the Propshaft you have a bracket to support the Handbrake cables item 6 at the front directly over the Prop and Item 12 to support the split of cables left and right I would start there it may just need replacing or short term a couple of cable ties applied Hope your up and around soon Dave

      Scraping sound under centre console on hard acceleration.

      Morning all, So my car started making a scraping sound under the centre console when accelerating hard, Ive found on another forum a video with the exact sound I’m experiencing. Turns out it’s due to the handbrake cable clips above the fuel tank breaking and the hand brake cables rub on the prop shaft. Has anyone got any experience with renewing these? Apparently the tank needs to be dropped. People have said that cable ties work well as a cheap alternative. I’d normally climb underneath, play and report my findings, but I’m recovering from an operation at the moment so cannot get underneath for a few weeks. 😕
