Hello all,
I've got a problem, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I thought I would start here first. My Bro.-in-Law owns a 1995 318i. He is currently overseas for an extended stay, and we are trying to get his car running. The battery had run down on the car after sitting in the yard for awhile. We charged it, but it still wouldn't start. He said there was a securtiy button we needed to push first. I discovered the button, but the car still will not start. It doesn't even turn over. When you connect a charged battery, the hazards immediately begin to flash on and off for a while. If you get in the car and turn the key, all of the electronics appear to work, but the car will still not turn over. The hazards will flash, and a little red light under the steering wheel flashes as well. I assume that is connected to the security system. If this securty system is factory, how do I start the car.? I have read about EWS modules, but don't no anything about it. Can anyone help me. We would greatly appreciate it.
