Hi,
I'm having issues with my P38. I believe its the BeCM that is causing issues.
Listed are some of the problems
Message center saying Electrical Fault
Rear wiper not working.
Front wiper only working on constant and not self parking.
Headlights on permanently when ignition on
Mainbeam not working
Interior lights not working
Telltale on Cruise Control, Hazard Lights, Fog Lights and EAS not working.
Sidelights not working
Rear door CL dont work nor the front. I know rear are driven direct from BeCM
I had a few random messages over last few weeks such as
Alternator fault
Interior Lights Disabled
Interior Lights Enabled
Engine can be started
EAS works
HVAC works
I've checked all the wires and connections for damage and see no damage in the engine fusebox.
Does that sound like the BeCM?
Many thanks
Last post was done using mobile. Ive had more time with laptop today.
Yep, puzzling but as you say, easy to check.
I would suspect the fan viscous coupling. If it doesn't quieten down from a cold start it probably fooled. It'll sound like a plane taking off then go quiet. It should get louder as engine starts to get a little too warm.
Erm possiby the switch for the handbrake lever.
Erm possiby the switch for the handbrake lever.
There is also a burning smell in fusebox
Wipers not working, front or rear.
Headlight main beam not working
Central locking not working
Interior lights not working including door lights etc.
No sound from cluster when indicators are used.
EAS self leved with door open (may not be related as door catch is not working correctly)
Yes the dash backlights come on as does the green headlight icon.
The cruise control, fog light and hazard light telltale don't come on. Not tried cc as in town.
Central Locking not working at all and key remote too.
Hevac seems fine.
EAS is fine too.
Just remembered, had the interior lights come up the other day. The message you get when disabling them.
As above. Came up with electrical fault this morning and noticed that headlights are on permanent with ignition on. Also remote locking not working and side mirror not adjusting. Windows work fine.
No fuses blown.
I have a feeling it's the fusebox under the bonnet.
Engine starts fine.
Help please
That's one hell of a cracking statement :)
No.
I don't see the point. It's also bloody expensive
I thought you were talking about Kuala Lumpur l Iol
Mine doesn't move now it's got new pump and did thermostat at same time.
I think fault needs clearing before correct operation resumes
That's awesome
Ha, I just replied to your other post LOL
I made a tool to hold the pulley still while using a 32mm spanner on the fan hex.
I just used some flat steel bar approx 12mm x 2-3mm with a hole drilled near the end big enough to fit one of the pulley bolts.
Put that on the pulley and heave with a spanner.
I'd say water pump if you have play.
Piece of piss to change. Remove fan and cowl.Wind 2 bolts in to the provided threaded holes in existing water pump and gently screw them in and they push water pump out. Clean area and lubricate new o-ring with vaseline and insert.
I changed thermostsat a week later but its much easier while pump off etc.

So a microswitch in tailgate maybe iffy or latch.
