Hi My rear suspension failed last week and I diagnosed the problem to the a 'sticky' main solenoid ( not the two way block) 

I replaced the solenoid and checked it and the compressor  before re- fitting to the car. 

Guess what/ The compressor doesn't work as there is s no 12v to the compressor 

The fuses (152 and 182) are fine and the relay works when tested 'on the bench'?

Any ideas guys?

Welcome to the Forum

First simple thing is actually change the fuses on my 4.6is the 30a compressor fuse was blown changed it for a (Halfords) 30a no go ? checked everything several times could find no fault swapped it with another 30a fuse everything worked still haven't figured out why?

If the simple doesn't work then it is continuity testing on the 12v feed to find out why a look at a wiring diagram would help if you have access to one

Good Luck

Dave

      2024 x6 six cylinder vs 8 cylinder. Is 8 Cylinder worth it

      Morning Robert Welcome to the Forum The GO5 X6 as far as I am aware are all 6 cylinder Diesel or Petrol plus the Petrol V8 as far as I am aware the engine choices are The xDrive40i M Sport has a 3.0-litre, in-line six turbo-petrol engine with a maximum outputs of 280kW and 540Nm. The xDriveM60i has a 4.4-litre, eight-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with maximum outputs of 390kW and 750Nm. The xDrive30d has a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with maximum outputs of 219kW and 650Nm. The M Competition model has 4.4-litre, V8 turbo-petrol engine with maximum outputs of 460kW and 540Nm. If it is a traffic light racer you want then the V8 is hard to beat but obviously operating costs are higher than a 6 cylinder petrol or diesel Fuel,Tyres, Insurance and servicing I have 2 X5's a 4.6is V8 around 18mpg average but glorious noise and acceleration (High days and Holidays car now) and a daily driver 3.0d around 28 mpg around town high 30's on a run Hope this helps Dave

      BMW 116i Hatch F20 2013. Headlight Issue

      Hi , Living in Lawrence Otago and need some help. I have some condensation forming in Lefthand headlight. I open the top circular seal and it eventually appears dry. But! Now giving me fault codes on dash display. Like the auto adjust not working and other intermittent faults. Is there anyone nearby that can assist with diagnostic or suggest a 'tame' service centre close to me? I have ordered a control module but thinking about it I would hate to insert the unit when there may be other issues causing the problem and as a consequence stuff up the new module.
