Electrical Issue

Wallin2199 · 08-22-2018, 09:38 PM

Hey guys,

Completely new to BMW. Just got a 2015 BMW X1 XLine and naturally wanted to start doing a few things. When attempting to put in LED interior lighting, it seems the AC unit and ECO pro bar are no longer working. Checked the fuses but didn't see any issues.

I have been reading a bunch but obviously not incredibly well versed being that I have had the BMW for all of 4 days. Is this a coding error that made the issue? I have a BimmerPros ODB cord coming but just wanted to see if there was anything else I should be checking to get those units back to working. It's still under warranty so is it just easiest to bring it in?

Appreciate the help

How did you wire up the LED lights...where did you hook the lights to? maybe you have a connector that's disconnected somewhere..just need more details.

So I only attempted to change the trunk light bulb over to LED which also now is not working. Everything worked fine previous to doing that.

Carefully look at everything else and document what else is not working, hopefully knowing additional information will lead you to either a fuse or controller box that all the items have in common.

I’ve changed all of my rear lights over to LED. The brake lights, turn signals, and back up lights all work with no problems or codes.
