Minor electrical problems

[bfwilson]

Can anyone suggest a really good shop in the Miami area for elecrtical problems.
There are 2 problems, but the seem simple enough to cure.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Also, does anyone have a comment on the Bimmer Shop in Miami???

tell us what kind of electrical problems you are facing. Maybe you can fix them yourself and save some $$ for a hot date or something.

At my age, a hot date would kill me.
The problem is related to the fan/temp control/ dash light variability.
When the fan is turned on, it may or may not reract immediatly. The fan may not be turned off immediatly as well. The dash lights behind the temp control panel dims, but will become brighter in5 to 15 seconds. Seems like some sort of internal short in the module to me.
As it's a "part", I would need to pull the face panel to see what the part number is.
Any suggestions.

Pull the unit out and do a visual on the circuit board. 90% of all electrical outages are visual.

Sounds like you may be experiencing the same Climate Control problems that many others have had. This guy has a great tutorial on how to fix it if that is in fact your problem: http://www.macadamizer.com/bmwfix.html

It has to do with the Climate Control turning on and off randomly and the lights on mine also went dim when it stopped working. I followed his intructions and everything works great now. Hope this helps.
