  1. Thanks Dave, I'll look where you suggested. Chris
  2. Apologies if this has been broached already but I did do a search. I am looking for help to try and recode the tailgate on my X3 F25 2016 model. The tailgate slams shut and is a bit concerning. I believe it can be programmed to do a soft close. I have looked on my Bimmercode app but cannot see where to alter the setting. Its all in German of course. Below is the menu after selecting Tailghate Module. Any help appreciated.
  3. Thanks Dave, I have just sorted it. I have found a 15amp fuse floating in a separate bank near the battery (image attached) which had blown and now I have power restored to the fridge supply. Now I just need to sort the fridge out which has also been affected. Many thanks again. Chris
  4. Oh that's brilliant information thank you. It could be the trailer braking module? I have bimmercode and bimmerlink so will look for the option. Do you have any advice on locating the module please? Regards Chris
  5. I recently grounded my electric tow cable and our Thetford Fridge went off for a couple of days and then strangely came back on. It works on 230volt and gas but not on 12volt from the car? I replaced the cable on the caravan and discovered there was no power to the grey cable suggesting a blown fuse. I have checked the fuses BMW use for the towbar sign on their card but they are all good. Anyone know which fuse may have been used before I have to check every fuse on the panels.?
  6. The other day while towing our caravan I accidentally allowed the the electric cable to trail on the ground and it was partly severed. I have replaced the cable but the Grey wire which supplies power from the car to the fridge (ignition on) is no longer live. I have checked all of the fuses shown to be for towing on the fuse box diagram and every single fuse on the fuse board in the trunk. All fine. I would be grateful for any advice to help locate the problem. Could there be a relay that may have failed? In-Line fuse?
