- If your 3 5 6 7 or x series won't start after a collision or hard bump you might want to start at the positive battery cable. Thanks for watching
Bro you are the man for this video your right on point.
Very Informative
This feature seems to be useful as I had customer Driven his Benz to my workshop which had a very massive front collision, indeed that was very close catching fire to the car.
The oblong window on the underside of the box...does that show if it's blown/separated?..it seems that's what it's there for, but not sure if there's supposed to be just a seam between the metal plates or if you're supposed to see the cylinder.
Jack - Quick question. Have you ever replaced an integrate supply fuse box or an ivm to rectify start issues?
Hi. If my I3 rex has an accident and the airbags are open, do I need also do some special modyfication to unlock batteries and start the engine ?
After collsion, my e90's airbags deployed. My mechanics bypassed and repaired this cable and the car runs, but the voltage inside the car is low, i have installed new battery but it still stays low. The voltage at the battery and after starting the car at the alternator are well within limits, but the internal hidden menu always shows low voltage without starting the engine. It howers around 12v not 12.5/12.6. Resultantly my CAS module has gone bad 2 times. Could replacing the positive cable fix this issue?
Hi my bmw 335 has been in a collision with the airbags deployed but it has been a year and only today it was fine until I turned it off for 10 mins then it wouldn’t turn on. I did hit a major pothole on the highway before I parked it and turned it off could it have possibly now all of a sudden came loose ? Cause I know the repair shop did not replace it after the accident.
I have got a bmw f30 330e had a front passenger corner damage, airbags were deployed. At the scene of the accident the car went in ignition but would not drive. After I got it back from insurance the car does not have any power. Does not start, cannot even lock or unlock doors using keys. BMW dealers in Bradford said it maybe due to starter motor as that is one of the main recalls and that the positive charge is removed from the battery. They are not willing to work with it.
Also I have taken it to an electrician, he bypassed the positive charge and the car would start and go into gears but with 5 seconds it would cut off again. Does that mean the car is not holding charge and now battery has gone completely flat.
Someone mentioned that if airbags are deployed the hybrid battery cells burn and need a new battery for it to start again.
Any help will be appreciated as I have had the car repaired before getting it started and now stuck with no options. I have had the car since September 2022.
Please help where can I get that part for a 2006 x3? All lights work but won't start. Air bagged did deploy
Would it still work even of i dont replace the airbags just yet?
u are great spot on i fix mine
do you know if volvo uses the same features? im currently going through the same thing, tried to recharge battery but did nothing, everything turns on electrically but car wont crank
Can you post pic of how to bypass it how you were saying
I have an 05 x5 4.4 and I left my key on to roll up the windows and forgot to shut the key off and killed the battery and tried jumping it and no luck so I replaced the battery and have power to everything but still no crank or start. Do you have any ideas
Hello my 535i bmw airbag deployed battery is dead and cannot get the trunk open. Any suggestions? Please
Good video, but stupid feature. This feature keeps you from being able to get the car to the side of the road, means that it has to be drug onto a roll back to haul it off. It is, in other words, a safety feature, that makes you less safe. Thanks for the video though. It was very helpful.
What about getting it towed and they didn't put it in n
Thanks for the video. Can this thing still fire off in a minor impact situation without the airbag indicator ever showing in the gauge cluster? In other words, if this thing fired off at some point will the airbag indicator always be on, or can it still have fired off without the airbag indicator ever showing up?
espperre it would show on the cluster if it did. I've seen them break apart inside without a collision. .i've also seen people reattach them and use a resistor to keep the light from coming on. If the car has never been tampered with its unlikely to have it go off without throwing a service airbag warning .
Jack Meyers Ok thanks. Good to know.
I have the same problem, my car starts and but now the water pump and certain things arent getting enough voltage to run properly
Hi Jack, after accident (couple days) l couldn't open trunk (with manual key).
And also fob key is stock in.BMW 523i...2007.
How did you ever manage to get into the boot I also can’t access boot
minis have them too ,air bag light on, through water ingress
phantom explorer yes also on the minis
I have the same issue, I replaced the cable but still not start,
Anyone have advice
Same with e82 aswell?
I have a 2013 bmw e92 328i x drive and it was in a collision made it run temporarily and I bought a brand new battery safety terminal (the cable in the video) and I swapped it out and now the car won’t start and the lights won’t even come on at all battery is brand new and I even tried jumping it the only light on the car when it was running when it was rigged to work was the seat belt and airbag light due to the cable being bad and the only code was the 93b2 which is the battery safety terminal
do u figure it out
If airbags deployed and airbag light is on, can you replace the positive cable and start the car? Or do you need fix the airbags first as the new positive cable will be triggered by the existing airbag codes/light?
I guess You can change the airbag after
Same as x5 e70 2012??
I appreciate your video. I am having the same problem with my 2011 328i. Did you get to post a video on how to remove/replace the positive cable?
I’m dealing with this now on my 2011 328i did you ever fix it and how? My car been sitting for 2 months because dingy know the problem
@@juliasrandle5797 it was the starter
Was your car also in an accident? Or were the air bags deployed
where would someone buy a replacement?
Hi, I have a BMW 120D 2006.
Involved in an accident front end damaged, and air bags were deployed, however the key doesn't seem to sit in it's spot, it's as if the key isn't for the car and is not recognised and therefore can't get it to turn on, I've tried the spare key too and no luck, doesn't seem to want to go in? What could possibly be the issue?
Thanks.
push it in harder
a year later but the battery was just dead af that’s all buy a new battery and bam you should be good
@@ricardos2033 lol 2 years late but if anyone ends up reading this don’t go straight for a new battery, after an accident and the airbags go off it automatically disconnects the battery from the car if the battery isn’t connected the ignition won’t crank and it will act as if you have the wrong key.This video exactly explains what to do if you were in an accident in your 2000 or younger bmw just listen and you should be able to fix your problem
What is the name of that part
What is this piece call ?
My car has power but clicks once when I try starting it. Can it be the wire or the red distributor box that goes on top of the battery?
AB3 try charging your battery, replacing or jumpstart if your vehicle, majority of the time when there’s a single click and no start it’s due to a bad/uncharged battery
try putting a booster pack in the front and the on the battery
My 2008 E90 335XI has power except it won't crank. I did replace the battery thinking that was the problem and also there's a relay I saw on another video they said to replace on the fuse box, but still the car won't turn over. I didn't hit any curbs etc, but seems feasible it might be this problem. If you could offer any advice it would be very helpful. Thanks.

Hi did you ever find out what problem was . Was it this cable
@@petershanle9675 My problem on my 2008 335XI was the ground cable that goes from the frame to the engine. It was badly corroded not allowing a good ground to the starter.
You can check this by jump starting your car, but instead of putting the ground wire from the jumper cables on the frame, put that ground cable on the engine block. If it turns over and starts it's your ground cable. Hope that helps.

@@uptownphotography Thanks very much for answering back so fast . Will let you know
@@petershanle9675 My pleasure Peter. Let me know how you make out. All the best...

Hey! Where is it located? Is it on the front under the hood? Or is it by the battery in the back?
back battery
I buy and I still have the problem my bmw 328 I 2008 I drive like a 30 minutes don’t want started and doesn’t want run so what can I do
was it in an accident?
Bought a 5 Series with front end damage. Car turns on but doesn’t hold battery power and turns off. I jumpstart it with my machine, and same problem again. Do you think it’s the positive cable that needs to be replaced?
TheWiseGuy if you can jump start it then it's not the cable . If it were the cable it would not crank or start at all
Thank you for the response.. I replaced the positive cable and fixed the problem. One question, I see sparks coming out of the positive side. I lost the nut that holds the positive cable down and it melted the plastic red cover on top. Do you think not having the nut is causing this issue?
TheWiseGuy yes. I will. If the cable is loose or a bad connection it could cause heat issues . I would definitely put a nut on there asap
Went ahead and purchased a nut at the Ace Hardware. Its perfect now, thank you.
TheWiseGuy sweet. Glad it worked out for you
They crashed my bmw 2006 325xi and the bags came out and it won’t start. Do I have to buy this part
More then likely. If you have power to only the windows and accessory position and a no start the cable is probably deployed. A quick scan of the srs system will let you know.
👌
My e90 was in a collision with no airbags light or deployed, it started right up after the collision but 3 weeks later the car wouldn't start I got the battery light on the car but I dont know exactly whats wrong with the car all the lights work and all but it wont even crank. I tried to scan the codes I got a 2DEC code with the "Power Management, Battery Control" before going forward do you think that the safety feature triggered it weeks after the collision? or what would be my issue here please let me know.
Nader Hamawi can you check the airbag control module for codes?
How can I check that? because I haven't gotten any warning sings of the airbag. I tried everything I could do from my end to get it started. I couldn't imagine within these three weeks that my starter or battery went out just like that could it?
Nader Hamawi what year is it
If it's an 06 to 09 try this. Go back to your battery . On the negative cable where it attaches to the battery there will be 2 small wires connected to the negative clamp. It goes about a foot up into the quarter panel and has a blue connector . Unplug the 2 wire blue connector and see if it starts. I think the wires are grey and black but not sure. I know it's a small blue connector for sure. Disconnect it and leave it unplugged. Let me know if it starts.
Jack Meyers what if it starts with the blue connector disconnected I have that issue
hi can you tell if cable has been messed up by looking...? because I have power on the inside the car but starter will not engage or turn over... had a flat at 70 and it damaged the right tire and some wires... I repaired the wires but now it wont start...
Right rear tire?
yes, what do you mean by "right rear tire" ? why u say that ?@@jackmeyers2911
I bought my car crashed from the auction (2015 bmw 328i) . It had no key so when I purchased a new key through the dealer it did not work with the car... could this be due to the intelligent battery sensor needing to be put back together like you showed in this video ?
Did it work?
I replaced it on my f30 328i but all i get is a simple click when i try to start it. Thought it was the battery so I replaced it but i had the same results. Anyone having the same issues ?
Same thing. Replaced the bst and junction box and I am still getting no power in the engine bay. When I measure the voltage at the jump start terminals, I get close to 0 volts. If I connect my jumper cable from battery to the positive jump terminal, the car fires up without problem. Did you figure out what was the issue?
I have 2008 328i coupe the engine just shuts off randomly can't restart just cranks showing a lifted car on the dash. I still have interior power. I use my jump pack and it starts right up dash light gone and I'm on my way. I did notice that the battery isn't properly secured it can shift around while driving. This is happening more frequently 2xs today and then to add insult to injury some 🤬🤬 backed his truck into my driver's front fender and wheel while parked. I think this makes sense as to what it could be. Anyone with the same problem?? Any thoughts I'd appreciate the input. Thank you.
How much is the part
713SeanD. Depends on the car but they average about $130 from bmw
