It's f'n stupid that bmw stopped putting the ability to put the trans into park which used to be under the cupholder to save a few bucks. Jerks!

forget about bolt, this is may be for 8speed trans or e-shift trans
e90 has good old m-shift with bowden cable and everything is simple

I replaced red box with fuse on battery, no luck. Now to b+ repair ����������

Wow, who knew we had an explosive disconnect switch on the battery to kill all power to the car.

Yep, wire fried

[Michael335d]

Plug came out with wire. Looks like I’m gonna need a new fuse box now. Ugh.

[Michael335d]

The cable isn’t supposed to be melted on the connector like that, correct? I just ordered a new fuse box.

[Owen81]

Looks like that should be covered by the recall?

[Michael335d]

Diesels aren’t covered, I just asked the dealer. It says under recall in computer ‘Diesels have different electrical systems and therefore are not covered. Looks exactly the same to me!!!

[Owen81]

Ya, the part numbers are identical. Sounds like some more dealer BS!
Maybe you could argue some goodwill on their end?

[Michael335d]

Luckily the fuse box is 170.00. Any confirmation that this cable is defective? It is welded to the connector

[Michael335d]

Also, I was told to replace the ‘SHUNT FUSES’. What are those?

[Owen81]

Not sure, but RealOEM lists the part as:
Power distribution box /w fuse 1 61146971370

[Michael335d]

I cut wire. I should be able to connect battery, then check with a voltmeter if there is power to the cut wire. Anyone know how much power goes to fuse box? 12v?

[Michael335d]

Can I reuse Shunt fuses from old fuse box?

[Michael335d]

Well new cable and fuse box did it, car works! Thanks everyone for helping me thru this nightmare. I still have to mount fuse box (nightmare), wire is stiff, and put everything back together. But thanks all for your help.

I have this same problem. Can you give the part number that was used to fix?
