E60 Rear Doors Deadlocked / No Interior Lights / Possibile KBM
Hi all, ive been having these issues for a while now and wondered if anyone could give any insight if experienced before
ive been chasing a power drain for a while now and found a broken drivers door wire which is now repaired.
however the rear doors have now deadlocked and will not respond to opening either with the key fob or by hand inside or out.
the boot will no longer unlock with the key fob. only the key itself.
the interior lights do not work when you open the front doors or press the buttons.
the red alarm system light on the rear view mirror blinks instead of flashes.
Would this point towards a bad KBM?
Thanks in Advance.

It looks like you purchased a project. You're not going to get any good help online with that many issues. You'll need someone local to assist you. Have you tested the battery and alternator? Hopefully that is what's causing some of the issue. We didn't get any history so everything would be as guess at this point

Battery brand new
Won't need anyone local to me as that's no fun lol.

As I'm looking at the pics again it seems like you have some absent errors. Correlated a few by comparing the photos. Take a pic of the whole screen in the same pic so you can at least get valid responses

I will rescan the car and put up some latest codes as quite a few of them had cleared due to finding a broken wire in the driver door which in turn caused issues with the air bag and other stuff which is now sorted

Great. Maybe we can make some sense out of the codes and get you back going. I'm sure there's one thing causing this to act up. Hopefully the codes will lead to troubleshoot one area

Just wish i could find a reptuable company to test and repair if necessary rather than just getting a used one and coding it to car.
