Fuel level as expected, things are back to normal.

I had an almost identical issue to this on my 2004 e53. On mine the sun roof vent has a soft hose that runs down the inside of the pillar airbag and pokes inside a steel receptical. The cure is to pull the air bag cover off and push some compressed air down the metal pipe, loads of shite blows out on to the floor and you are good to go. What happens is the lower portion gets blocked and in heavy rain it fills and overflows at the join and water runs straight into the LCM. I should have realised because one of my neighbours kept telling me that random lights were coming on on my car at night but dismissed it. I then parked up for a week at Birmingham airport and when I came back I had a dead battery. Got it started and the lights were all over the place and tracked it down. Luckily, my LCM wasn't as corroded as yours, but was full of water and the carpet was soaked. Good video though, well done.

The aiming control is an absolute must. Too low you cannot see anything to high you blind others. I hate being dazzled by modern overly bright lights.

Good fix. You should put a disclaimer to the garage and owner, that the fix is temporary due to the previous repair you found. Plus cheap for now, expensive later. I suspect that car could be about to be sold on to some unsuspecting person. Hopefully you put a doc file with this video for future records.

Completely dumb from BMW to put the ALC-module in the bottom of the headlight. When there is condensation water inside the light, of course it goes straight in to the module. I had couple years back E91 BMW and i had to replace one ALC module because of this exact reason :D

Great video as always Luis. Love the troubleshooting steps and honest assessment to repair shoddy work. Lovely to finally see your garage space and looking forward to another guided tour into your workspace when up and running .😀

Spot on Luis, all up and running now and instructions followed. Also glad to see your first video from your new place, hope there's more to come.

I would not even feel bad about changing the headlight. Ask yourself this Luis, do you want to repair problems or do a hack job? I understand that the garage that brought you the car are probably good clients but I don't think that a second hand module would have been that expensive for such an old X5. I bet you were not too happy to open the module more than once, fish out the wire, soldering and knowing that this is not the right way to do things. You got it done but I can't believe you were very satisfied. No disrespect towards you Luis but it makes me question the client.

Great results 👍 as already said petrol lights are always on when you receive vehicles!

Greetings Louis, your level of intelligence is beyond measure, u the best, all the way from Zimbabwe

Hey man got an e83 x3 same exact problem changed the ballast, bulbs even the module same problem have a similar code for dazzlling in drivers view Im so stuck couldnt believe i found your vid but mines isnt corroded actually very clean i was thinking problem the level sensor underneath the car

Congrats on new place!! What a mess, but love watching your videos Luis!

Hi Luis !!, as always Great Diagnoses 👍 👌 👏 keep up the Excellent workmanship. Great to see your workshop too! God bless !

I had the same error; Due to electrostatic discarge ,some module produce errors; I disconnected one terminal from baterry and connented it to the other terminal

2 fingers of water 😂 love it

Your very Good + your very excellent at your work!! + Explabation❤

Fantatsic diagnosis and repair. I would ask you to do a proper repair rather than the cheapest option. Excellent work again 👍

Good job Luis, you can only do what the customer wants if it fails again that's the customers fault for being cheap

No fuel, battery dead and someone’s been here before 😂Another day at LM Auto repairs! The no fuel thing amazes me as it takes a lot of forward planning to drop a car off with so little fuel. Go figure 😂

I’ve been experiencing lightning issues similar to this on my E39 . So same issue with rainwater soaking the passenger side LCM . Been drying the carpet out now for 4 days. Module is a nightmare to access .

well done very good tracking down the problem great video

Nice video And at your new place

Its a must to fix leaks into your car....

Thank you and hope you all the best

Nice to finally have a roof over your head lol,great vid as usual 👌

Greetings from Turkey imsvar thanks for the video

That 's why I hang down line when someone said can I fix BMW , it is always "cheapest" option and lot of previous hack jobs ... BMW owners are same all around the world ...

Hello where is your workshop? .. I have a problem with my BMW X5 it's just had the expansytank changed + now it's started up + when she stalled after about 5minutes running ..it says CHECK LOWER BEAM LIGHTS? I DID NOTICE AS IT STALLED THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWER BEAM LIGHT WAS THE ONLY ONE ONE + PROCEEDED TO FADE TO OFF, WHATS YOUR OPINION PLEASE? I AM FOLLOWING YOUR IDEAS FROM THE LAST VIDEO TO SEE IF I CAN LOCATE THE PROBLEM + SOMEHOW FIX IT

Ahh happy first video at new driveway and workshop. Can of worms mate that vehicle electrics you can only do what the budget allows

Hi, Your diagnostics is awesome. I have BMW X5 2005 model and i have been experiencing delayed auto lights ON in the night. In auto or manual mode it takes 10-15 seconds or up to a min to turn on the headlights. Its crazy to drive at the night with out the delayed lights on. Please help isolate the problem and how to fix it. Appreciate the help.

The problem is AHL module.If you disconnect it the low light will come on.

Got another question my man. I got P0134 code on 2005 BMW X5. Would replacing a new oxygen sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 fix it ? or its got more to do with it. Got to do smog test so eager to fix it soon ? Thanks a lot.

👍

great video Luis what make of battery maintainer do you use mate ,glad to see your settling in

Don’t feel bad about the level control it’s required to function for MOT

looking at that module, who wouldn't have said it needs replacing of course you would, anybody would, it was in a shocking state...

there are probably thousands more out there like this one ... water and electrics/electronics are not a good combination, don't tell me vehicle manufacturers don't know this

Great work as always, but is there a more hideous car than an X5? Put a match to it and do the world a favour.

What causes it to go all green to begin with

Mulțumim!

Ola Luis 😀 para uso em diagnostico auto e claro em casa se for preciso consegues sugerir dois multímetros? Um caro e um barato... O meu unit 61e estava com o dial avariado. Fluke vale mesmo a pena? Uso semanal do mesmo

That moment when you think it's just the bulb and you open a can of corroded worms 😩

Great job that's the maxium job with this old car ,hhhhh because if you want do that beter and change the unit and the plug it will cost more than the car price hhhhhhh Overall thx for you ,your video are amazing

Hi, Luis do you have some business email ? Or email at all...?

You should name garage so others can avoid them , that’s a shoddy fix !

👍
