where was it unplugged ?

That trick for troubleshooting was a huge help! Thanks

Glad to see some good old traditonal troubleshooting!!!!

Let logic prevail, good one...anything electronic needs power, first diagnose that power is being sent to the part, once that is sound, then go ahead with other checks...always check the power. 12 volt light up pen is very easy to check if power is getting to the device. Good one keep it up!

When checking for a blown fuse, do a continuity test or a diode test, not a voltage test. That fuse on the power distribution block is the fuse that sends the power to water pump, that's why it bleed for you.

Thanks for this video this makes alot of sense for what im going through rn.

OMG how cute shes helping u fix ur BMW!

Excellent troubleshooting!!!

What codes were you getting? I’m getting communication fault but my battery is basically drained and old so this might be it for me

Awesome job

You're the man

This was cool something else to try and FYI monkey is adorable

This also could be a fix for all other problems with our bmws.

FYI, the meter won’t read correctly if you don’t give the fuse block a sassy little tap with the LED.

What fuse in glove box runs pump? Also what if my battery and all my blocks read 11?

Also make sure you are aware if the lin bus goes down the water pump will continuously run & kill the battery or blow that fuse. Just fyi. You were on the right track but the method of diagnoses could be shortened a lot.

What were the codes... I may have missed it, but didn't hear a reference to the actual codes that were present.

thx! same issue for me, cant tell that the pump failed yet bc it doesn't start for the purge mode. Hopefully it's just an electrical issue (aren't they all...) (edit: your truck monkey is legit!)

What symptoms did you have?

what happens if you just plug the red water pump wire on the fuse thats working?

Good job bro

Im throwing lack of communication with waterpump and valvetronic fail. both fuses are right next to each other in the sealed box under the hood. I had some water in my trunk and the battery got wet. I haven't even tried the bleeding process because I assume the waterpump isn't getting power. (gonna try it anyway ) the distribution box on battery makes perfect since. if that fuse has power, then it has to a be a short in the wire going to the fuses under the hood

Omg dude your a godsend

Nice! Subscribed

I’m having issues where my mechanic can’t contact the dme for the water pump after my engine being washed what could be the issue?

My e 90 always says water pump missing after a mechanic installed a new one , could this be the same issue ?

Which fuse is for water pump

Thank you sir, I just got some error code of water pump not communicating a few days ago, as another wrote, I also was about to order a new pump, I will check that box tomorrow.. I hope that will also be my problem.. Hope you find out more of these solutions.. I bet bmw just changed that box, but charges for new water pump and labour..

My 2011 535 n55 is overheating and fan comes on more than normal when driving. I changed the oil filter housing gaskets. Ran the pump to bleed the system. It came on and circulating the water. But fan still comes on and overheats. Took to shop to have coolant flush and they said its the water pump, so they didnt flush coolant. But im like, you sure its not the oil thats mixed in coolant system? Can anyone help?

Uh.... you don't see the FIRE HAZARD associated with putting a much smaller gauge wire in there? Fuses are sized to protect wiring. Given that it was already blown on the distribution block there is a good chance something is shorting and / or pulling too much current. When / if that happens again that small wire will turn red hot and potentially start a fire right on top of the battery.
