Central Locking blowing fuse

MBMW · 05-07-2021, 09:55 AM

As the title says I'm on the 3rd fuse in one week (fuse no. 14). Obviously one or multiple locks are drawing more than 15amps. The question is how to identify which one?Current prime suspect is the driver's door lock. Any ideas? What about other locks fuel flap etc?

Car is MY14 stock with 104K KM BTW so unfortunately out of warranty

Update: I took it to a BMW indie, there were no faults registered and the shop did not find anything wrong. I took it ti the dealer they need to schedule a diagnosis session and cost around $150.

New lock (soft close version) is around $600 a piece.

Do you have comfort access? If yes, lock the car and come back after a few minutes to see if any of the door handles are warmer than the others. One of the symptoms of a failing CA door handle is being warm to the touch. Another is a clicking noise when you walk past the handle with the remote nearby.
