Managed to get it all stripped out with only a couple of rusty screwdrivers and a plastic shoe horn, absolute nightmare for a novice like me..πŸ˜©πŸ”«

Not removed the actual airbag unit as yet, need to get an 8mm socket as I thought the nuts were meant to be 10mm??

Anyway, removed the module wiring and started the car. Radio comes on and window's operable once again!! πŸ˜€πŸ‘Œ

Thanks alot for your help Mike πŸ‘

Rosco,

I am having the same exact symptoms on my 04' Z4 3.0i...did you end up replacing the ABM module...did you find moisture in it by chance? mine did this after some significant rain over the past couple months...

thanks...James

I was able to disconnect my wiring from the ABM unit, but did not get the same results as Roscoe - wipers, windows, radio, some instrument lights all non-functional...any other ideas to try from anyone?
