hi,

2 days ago when i locked my car doors using the fob, i heard a loud click in the rear left door and since then none of the doors won't open anymore. I've read about this and it's an actuator blowing a fuse okay.

But is it possible the short circuit reset several options on my boardcomputer aswell?

for example right after it happened and i started up the car,

1.it automatically turned on the 3 heating positions (in face, middle and feet) and started blowing hot air really hard onto the front window.

2. The clock on the idrive reset to summerhour instead of winter which i set just a week earlier (the 1 hour difference)

3. had to click the BC stalk once to have it show my range on the BC screen (it was blank). Which it normally shows on startup.

4. all saved radio stations and quicktouch buttons have been erased and radio's default screen was the manual FM search one.

that's it so far, is this normal or does this mean oncoming problems due to electrical failure?

If it shorted out for a moment, it is very possible that it reset the ECU and caused all the computers to go a little nutty. I had an issue like this when I had to push start my Mazda6. Then when I shut the car off, wait a few seconds, and restart the car, everything went back to normal.

Did you use a different key fob? All of the above issues happen when both key fobs have different settings and if you locked the door with the key fob #1 and opened it with key fob #2, all your settings switch to what was saved on key fob #2.

nope was not at home, went to pick up some friends and it happened so only fob #1 was used. I had the dealership put in a heavier fuse (free of charge ofc) and the minute they put it back in, my saved radio stations & quicktouch buttons were back ... it even surprised the salesman lol. It was very weird

Sometimes, our cars do have minds of their own I guess!
