Inability to open various compartments

Post by Mike Mason » Wed Jul 14, 2021 7:59 pm

Good day,

First time in the forum so hopefully you will bare with me if these items have been previously discussed and I am certain they have been.

After coming out of storage and with a new fully charged battery ( left in car and kept charged all winter) in a sequence my roof lock will not release, my passenger door will not open neither will my gas cap cover, and the central storage cubby

Have had car for a number of years and this is first time these issues have occurred. Disconnected battery to try a reset but only left disconnected 30 seconds with no luck.

As well trunk shocks not working.

As well I could use the connection for an outlet; in Canada preferably to access BMW parts, need new rear decal as well as external trunk light(lens broken)

Any information greatly appreciated.

Mike

GM5 module failed perhaps ? Scanning the car should give you a clue.
