I am planning to by a BMW from the auction was running but Steering Lock came on and supposedly the piece you speak about is the reason or low volaltage or the steering was yanked really hard one way i have read but my question once you removed that negative battery and put the new one on how did you or did you have to reprogram your battery and did the car start? Thanks

Had my car Valeted and it wouldn't start afterwards. Turns out they got the battery wet. Followed this video and it's alive again. Thanks mate. Mine was an older style with no plug on the negative terminal, instead I removed the blue plug on positive and the small blue plug further up the loom.

My engine has started cutting in and out intermittently after doing some recent work. During which I removed the negative terminal. Now it cuts in and out like an old fashioned car with a doggy connection to the ignition coil. But it only does so at around 2500 rpm with gentle throttle, If I accelerate it goes away.
