BMW Repair: BMW 328i electrical problems, power steering pump, 7 digits


Question
Just got 2000 BMW 328i, first day power steering pump goes out and seemingly dead battery. Took to shop and pump replaced, battery and charging system fine, but now power windows, wipers, radio and navigation system done power up. Any ideas?

Answer
Hi Don,
There are so many variables in your problem. Kindly give me the following information so that I can narrow it down:
a) last 7 digits of the VIN
b) tell me what kind of radio you have, or at least how it looks
c) how many speakers
d) is your car a convertible
For starters, just so that we do not waste precious time, check fuses 7, 41, 48 and 71 and include your findings to your answers for items a to d.
