BINGO sorted it was the LCM sourced one of ebay £12 posted, dead easy job, 3 screws lower dash, drop down to access 2 nuts holding LCM, unplug ribbon cable and loom plug, sorted. Mileage still the same too, well pleased.

Hi Dave yep all was fine until i heard that click when sorting the rear number plate light out. I do have the INPA and the cable etc, lots of tutorials on the web so pay attention in class and maybe get it sorted, enjoy the wine 

Cheers Dave, i pulled the light switch and it has a ribbon cable going down to below the dash, so now know where its located. I know the LCM are not plug and play but whats the downside? just the tamper dot? just need the lights and indicators back.

i was going to get a replacement LCM and try that, is it in the footwell or attached behind the light switch on dash?

cheers Dave, done a bit of searching and seems i may need to go into toolset32 and reset short circuits?

Hi new on here, i have the X3 E83 2004 2.5 sport, i had a bad light in the rear number plate light, removed it but in doing so think i shorted it. Now when i start the car side lights come on and stay on, no main beam, no hazzards, no indicaters. Checked fuses in glove box but fine ? any advice please
