2006 e90 won't turn over

ntubaro · 01-11-2013, 02:10 PM

Looking for help here... I went to go start my car today and nothing happened. I put the key in the slot, foot on the brake and hit the start button and nothing happens. I can't access the onboard computer or even shift the car out of park either. It's like my key doesn't belong to my car... We tried boosting it but still couldn't get anything. I'm wondering if anyone here has any idea whats going on. How much is it going to cost to repair this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you measure the voltage.
If your battery is good some that have had
similar type problems have disconnected the IBS cable
on the battery and had there cars come back to life.

Also there are reports of a bad connection at the fuse box
showing up suddenly. see following entry 12 and 15 are the
fuse box connection problem highlights.
