k i got a few problems....well....2.....hopefully u guys can help me out a lil bit...
1st problem, outta nowhere my traction control light, and my abs light came on, disabling my traction control.....any ideas?
2nd problem, well my back door lock hasnt seemed to work for a while now, i never really bothered with it cuz i never have more than 2 ppl in my car so the door is hardly used....but as of today, my trunk stopped lockin when i lock my doors....this is a very big problem as i have an expensive audio system back there....the trunk used to lock when i locked the doors, now it is constantly unlocked, impossible to lock, even with the key, cuz well theres a key hole, but the key doesnt seem to be right for it..i dunno.....anyways sorry for rambling...any response would be greatly appreciated....thank you...

all bmw have only one key for the ignition and for the doors. Try to put some wd40 in to the lock, it should help. Traction and abs problem could be anything, you have to check your car on the computer, but common problem is wheel abs sensor.

I agree with ABS wheel sensor.

However, as for the trunk lock, if you only have the valet key, it won't work in the trunk. If it was locking before and not locking now, I don't have much in the way of ideas for you. Sorry.

isn't there a key position that keeps it from getting locked with the power locks. I'll have to test this theory on mine...

 

[knightpitt]

In the e36, there's no key position to keep the trunk from being locked. There is, however, a key position to keep the trunk from getting unlocked.

Has your key ever worked in the trunk?

 

[lupes5]

the key never worked on the trunk lock, so i was kinda confused about that.....but i jus seem to be havin a problem lockin it, if i could lock it and leave it that way i'd be ok....but it jus doesnt seem o want to lock anymore

if your doors are locked so is your trunk . . right ?

does the car have the traction control system that has the butterfly plate? If so adjust the slack in the line.
