BMW X5: Butt Connector For Repairing A Plug Connection

Special tools required:

IMPORTANT:

  1. Identify cause of damage (e.g. sharp-edged body parts, faulty electrical loads, jammed mechanisms, corrosion caused by ingress of water, etc.).
  2. Read out fault memory.
  3. Eliminate cause of damage.
  4. Disconnect battery negative terminal.
  5. Make sure that no safety-related system according to connection scheme (e.g. anti-lock braking system, active rear-axle kinematics, airbags, etc.) are influenced. Otherwise replace faulty wiring harness or use repair cable (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service).
  6. Carry out function test and read out fault memories again.
  7. Eliminate new faults if applicable and clear fault memories

NOTE: The repair range IV for vehicle electrical system contained the required special tools and individual parts for retrofitting and repair work with the aid of fan connectors.
