  1. I did it. I blew fuse. I'm humble. I'm an idiot AmeriCAN, . I heard a pop sound . Prob touched a hot line and caused short and blown fuse. All my fault. I caused fuse to blow. Im guilty of being a moron. But now back to working.
  2. Agreed. Several fuse diagrams online was not exact match for this car. I went to u tube for more help. One video advised a pamphlet is attached to fuse cover. It was! It was a micro fuse #(30) I found with ease. A fuse too on fuse board aided me to remove fuse in 3 seconds. Thanks,
  3. I also changed headlights myself in 1hr. BMW was asking 1900.00. I did this for 250.00. took 1hr total and never removed front bumper cover. I went over the top through and ez job. Adjusting for light displacement was harder than the install. Thanks
  4. Hi, I am not a certified mechanic. My.last auto was 14 Benz c300 4 matic luxury. I diagnosed and made all repairs , maintenance needed as honestly it is an owners car. I figured out with this 06 I am a drivers car type owner. I spent 2 hr last eve reading owners handbook and learned a lot about how this auto operates . Considering it was 06 technology, Compared to 14 technology For the Benz this can not be as complicated. I first checked fuses. Boom, 2 fuses blown and replaced. I discovered I have left side marker light on after I park for traffic that may not see me since it's a dark green color. I disabled this function and radio now does arbitrarily operate when locked with new fuse. I come here for advise and anyone experiencing same issue to educate myself how this auto operates. Your reply was word salad. You want me to see a dealer. That's all you needed to say. But my initial question stated I do all work myself unless I need car above 4' . Not to be rude, but I changed fuses, diagnosed and repaired the draw so I think I will be ok. To waste 2 days and pay $$$ is absurd. I have built a car from scrap out of junkyard parts 30yrs ago. American car but got 30k for 400.00 . Thanks,
  5. Great. Thanks for the reply. Funny . My start stop engine light stays on all night. So does parking light (P) and sitting in car parked for a few hrs, I occasionally hear what sounds like the CD stock radio make odd noises. I don't use cd player but does work. Prior to this discovery, I replaced battery AGM 900cca , new alternator, belt, and belt tensioner <3mo. 1x a week I'm calling AAA for a hot shot. So I'm sick of every mechanic having a different diagnosis. If I don't have to lift over my head, I do all repairs. I'm not experienced with an electrical problem but 500us for parts and 3hr free time sucks. So new to forum . Any advice? Parasitic draw? I'm pulling fuses today to inspect. Any specific fuses to inspect? Will replacing start/stop Engine switch eliminate the never ending light? Cud car stereo be the problem? Thanks, Chris
  6. In USA. Can I ask questions with similar results if auto is here not in UK?
