Hey guys, I hate to join a forum for a rental car but I'm going to be holding onto it for a while and have an obnoxious issue that a 300 mile car shouldn't have.
I'm pretty involved with other forums (bimmerforums to be specific) and am very knowledgeable with anything that drives down the road.
I've searched far and wide and cannot find a good answer to the issue so I'm here...
I can't post anywhere yet, so I'll just mention my issue and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction:
The truck is a 2016 and only has 300 miles, so I'm assuming this issue was present from the factory. The keyless entry will ONLY work when the key is in the ACC or On position. The dome lights will ONLY work in the same situation. I'm not sure if this is also related, but the hazard lights in the cluster stay illuminated (solid) for 1+ minute after start. From the research that I've done, I'm guessing the issue lies within the BCM, or that there is a fuse or relay that is not giving power to the BCM when the key is OFF.
Now I'm just looking for some guidance on how to resolve the issue. I have seen that unhooking the battery for a while has reset the BCM, or unplugging the 3 plugs on the BCM will also work. As far as the BCM is concerned, I have been told that it is under the drivers foot well towards the center of vehicle. Looking underneath the dash, I think I see it, but am having trouble disconnecting the plugs. Is there any trick or retention method on them?
Thanks in advance!
