Engine won't start Car's POSSESSED

jrlee53 · 12-27-2009, 06:31 PM

Anyone have their engine not turn over? Mine is about 2100 miles and the engine just started to have problems starting up. Then I got all sorts of error messages like EBC and EDC malfunction. Then the windshield wipers started to go all on their own and I couldn't get it to stop. It was like the car was possessed or something. Had to call in assist to have it towed to the dealer. The only thing I changed from the last time i started it up was the seat auto position option in iDrive. I don't see how this could have caused all these problems, but it was the only difference in settings I had.

Sounds like you have quite the gremlin in your electronics...

Sounds like a short somewhere. Did they ever figure it out?

Turns out the pins for the ECU were not plugged in properly and our rough NY roads knocked it loose. They just unplugged and plugged it back and everything is fine since.
