One of the recurring problems on the Xiaomi m365 is the weakness of the rear fender, the fixing of this one makes it very exposed to the vibrations until it ends up breaking, tearing off your rear light.ĮDIT: rear light battery connector ready to use available in the "electronics" section of our website. seems like the problem was corrosion of the ground wire.Is your tail light connector cut or torn off? I was too lazy to make a dedicated post on this forum, but I will link to the original post and my fix with photos. I encountered the exact same problem on my 2014 F30, got the rapid turn blinker error (other searched terms are turn signal rapid blinking or tail light triple blink or fast blinking), and I found the DIY fix in the e46 forum, and did a similar variation of the fix and posted about it there. but I have a cheap and easy DIY solution. If my shady dealer covers this repair, theres hope for all. Hopefully sharing this will answer someone's question in the future. Nonetheless, as I sit at the dealership this AM it seems like they're going to concede and cover the repair as its "not a bulb". I purchased the vehicle in mid 2016 but it still had plenty left on the factory warranty however I am over 50k miles which is when the CPO would kick in (I think). To be honest, I have no idea how long the CPO lasts however I am under the impression it extends the warranty to 100k miles excluding the items listed here. I would think a case could be made it shoukd be covered. Those are questions that would need to be answered for definitive answer, but I would elevate the question above the SA to the Service Manager or General Manager. Even better question is does older CPO change to Platinum? No idea when you received CPO or which was in effect at the time. Extended Warranty, which does cover Electronics. When CPO was changed to 1 year about 12 months ago, it became equivalent to the Platinum. When CPO was 2 years, it covered no electronics (and even further limits). I concede bulbs are consumable, but a harness and assembly are not.right? According to my service guy, CPO does not cover any lighting or assemblies. Was your vehicle under a factory or CPO warranty? I have a 2014 under a CPO and dread what the dealership is going to tell me. PM me if you’d like to see them or if you need more clear details. I have some pictures but can’t attach them now. This way, you can easily disconnect the wires in the future when you need to replace a bulb.Ī few months later, I took the car to the dealer for service and they replaced it all under warranty with stock parts, but I’m certain that my repair was far more durable than stock.
#Right rear light housing connector not working install#
Install the housing, attach the stock wire connector, and connect your two spade lug connectors. Then, I pulled the wire from the “cooked” connector and crimped the other spade connector to that wire. I crimped one to the new wire I soldered in. Then I bought a simple spade lug male and female connector. If you pull this white cap off, you can thread the wire through, then replace the white cap. Pretty sure the purpose is to allow condensation to dry out without letting water in.
In my housing, near that connector, there’s a small white cap which is removable. But, you need to get to through to where that connector is. Once the wire is soldered, now you have a nice, thick ground which won’t fail.
You need to scrape the metal a bit to roughen it for the solder to adhere. To repair it, I took a little bit of speaker cable and soldered it to the metal inside the housing. On my car, the ground is shared with the brake light and the turn signal. Probably the interconnect in the connector is just not thick enough and it cooks, just like a burnt fuse. In my case (and it looks the same on this car), it was the brown ground pin which cooked. Please could you let us know what parts you purchased to fix the wiring? Apologies for resurrecting your thread - I have had the same issue with my F30.
