MY car will not start i dont know why. it wont crank at all..

i think its an electrical problem because i changed the battery already... the service guy told me it might be the kill switch because i had an error saying there is an airbag malfunction... now i know there had been a discussion already abiout the recall but my car is not under the warrenty nor did i recieve a letter.


the weird thing was that the car started in the morning with the malfunction i stopped to get gas and it wouldnt start i got a jump it didnt start then a few moments it started again...

then the next day same thing happened except it hasnt started for 5 days now i have no idea what to do...

the power is there its just that nothing happens when i turn the key

i have an 04 530 has anyone had this problem... please help let me know what you might think the issue maybe..

 

I just had this problem with my car. With mine it was the battery. When it happened my air bag sensor and front light parking light malfunction came on. Had it owed to the dealer and they replaced the battery and did a drain test over night. How lonf ago did you replace your batery?

 

i changed the same day i couldnt resart the car but it still wouldnt start but i would get electrical power the car just wouldnt start

 

did the dealer replace the battery, or did you do it oyur self. Mine would not start at all when i tried to jump it.

 

i bought the battery from the dealer ... and replaced it myself. and it still wouldnt start.

 

bump

 

i'm having a similar problem 2005 530i i turn the key and it struggles to crank after 4-5 times it does start up but the dashboard lights and headlights flicker and struggle to come on, then the date and time on idrive restart I think its the battery/alternator or something?

 

You'd better have them come and do it. Anything that involves the battery is a bit
tricky on the E60. Good luck.
