Parking brake beeping and sos call malfunction '04 525i
Long story, bare with me. My a/c stopped working and I looked up the symptoms I was having and it matched perfectly with a bad "blower motor regulator with resistor". So I went ahead and took off everything that need to be off to get to it. It ended up being what was wrong and the a/c works great now. The problem is, somewhere along the way of removing and hooking back up the front dash and center console from changing out the part, my parking/e-brake light is on and constantly beeps telling me to disengage it when it's fully down. The lights on the shifter aren't on when all three wires underneath are in. It was having trouble getting into and out of gears when I tried leaving my road. Also, the S.O.S. call system failure light comes on when it never did before I tried replace the blower motor regulator. I'm including a few pictures of what I found when I took up the center console up again. I found a plastic head that looks like it should have been on a wire that I found under the vent but can't find anyplace for it. If it helps, previous owner must have had a sub woofer and external lights on at one point. Any help at all and I would be so grateful.

I'm going to pull out the front dash again tomorrow and take more pictures of where I have everything plugged in and maybe find another wire where that piece goes? If that doesn't work, I'm calling a mechanic like I should have done lmao.

I did that repair years ago and I'm pretty sure there was something that was missed. When you did the work did you unplug the battery?

I’m afraid I did not. Which makes me think I blew some sort of fuse? But still left wondering about that plastic casing for some wires that I don’t know where it is or goes to.

Everything from the DSC/heated seats, radio, climate control, and 4ways/door locks are in the right place. It’s just that little plug next to the four ways I can’t find anything for.
