Damn homie 7 years later and you still helping us all 😂 good lord thank you though I was about out of ideas lol but it threw some terminal problem on the in depth reader at bmw but I couldn’t find out
First of all I want to thank you for helping me out because I had the same exact problem until I washed your video yesterday and fixed it and my car started up on the first crank thank you so much brother for posting this video truly a blessing and save me hundreds and hundreds of dollars be blessed brother thank you
You are a life saver for real bro my BMW 328i did the same thing after I replace the battery couldn't figure it out to save my life didn"t want to take it to the shop.
What i found out is the "fuse" is some kind of feature to basically cut power to the car after an accident ... Basically i eliminated the fuse and it started rite up... The top snaps off easy ... Like i said im just trying to save ppl some money cus im sure the diagnosis and repair at a shop or dealership would be ridiculous ... Took me 10 minutes and boom problem solved .. I hope this helps
had the same thing happen on my 2007 525. looks a little different but does the same thing. I did same as you and just shoved it back together. car started and ran like normal but I kept checking that battery cable and mine was getting super hot after just 5 minutes of driving.. I kept checking and it eventually split that big thick battery cable from the heat.. so I ended up having to find another BST that hadn't blown off to replace it. I have know idea why it would matter unless there is some kind of resistor in that sensor that you took off that regulates the electrical flow.. just please make sure your wire isn't getting hot
MINE RUNS JUST FINE...IF YOURS IS GETTING HOT... IT GROUNDING SOMEWHERE MOST CARS THAT WIRE RUNS DIRECT TO STARTER ... IN THE VIDEO THE CAR WAS RUNNING FOR ATLEAST 30 MINUTES CUS I WAS TESTING THE COOLING SYSTEM TO SEE IF IT WOULD OVERHEAT.. NOT SURE WHY THEY DONT HAVE TEMP GUAGES BUT YEA...LOLTHANKS FOR THE HEADS UP BRO !!
Eddy Loves cars, did the car have any power at all? I have power in the battery, I have power to the front positive starter point under the hood but no power to the junction box.
My car has the same dash lights and makes the same click noise when attempting to start it up. I’ll be in my trunk first thing tomorrow so I pray this works for me! Appreciate it homie
thanks eddy Had the same problem, took my BMW to an auto electrician, he hooked up his fault code scanner, BLAH BLAH BLAH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Found your channel and smashed that thing back into place.
Amazing!!!! This Guy Is Great! Went out bought a new starter replaced it still wouldn’t work then tried this! My car started right up!!! Thank you so much buddy!!
Oh that's a module they tear off the Starship Enterprise...If you're looking at what I'm looking out, you know what it is!" That comment wins the day - I HATE all the technical mumbo jumbo too!
Yeah fcuk knowledge and things... while you're at it fcuk safety fuses too. Since when has a little gas on fire hurt anyone?? Next week, how to fix warning light for ABS (Adjustable Baby Seats or some shit like that) by disabling ABS. Fcuk it, I don't got no baby seat. And you internet gurus... don't you dare teach me something by calling it Anti-Lock Braking System for the flux capacitor or some shit. Ok back to work now, I fix box in other box with words on it that make me go vroom using that one tool thingy with the metal and the shape and it goes like bam bam bam, bam bam, bam! Ignoramus is blitz or piss or I don't fcuking know. uhh whats that one word? Oh yeah... BYE!
Thank you!!! My car 2007 328XI slid to the ditch and didn't want to start at all. I hope I knew this video before It will save me a lot's money from sending it to dealership. Thanks.
Modulator of the starship enterprise HILARIOUS. Hahahah. Need more videos like this. Thanks a lot. Mine doesn't have this. Or I can't find it. 116i 1 series. Had the car standing all winter. Battery flat. Re-charged it. Now the car just 'clicks' Could be the ground strap in the engine bay or back with the battery.
My guy, great video.I feel you all the way.. It is a safety mech bmw has... Learned there is basically an "airbag" that seperates that positive cable to prevent car from starting. (Usually this occurs after some type of collision or impact to vehicle) Im having same type of click "no start" symptoms right now I know damn well I ain't trying to remove the whole intake just to get to the starter ...so I'm about to go pop Pop My trunk right now and check that out. Good lookin
this guy is absolutely RIGHT!! i bought a 2011 BMW 328XI SULEV off the auction .. Every time id have to jump the car and it would not charge the battery and car would shut off 5-10 minutes after. After 3 days of messing around thinking its my alternator , starter, other stuff, Ended up being the exact thing this guy is talking about. So ppl dont drive the car to the dealer and spend 4-5bills first check the IBS.
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Onyx Jasper Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hi Ed' You're correct, the positive lead has a Sensor, and when the car has had an accident, or a knock, can set off the (IBS) Battery gas charge and blows the positive lead apart as you indicated, then you can't start the car, I'm waiting for a new lead because of the gas charge. and my battery keeps going flat, Cheers !!
This guy is the truth I had the same issue with my car and I was told it was the alternator. After watching this video I tried the same method and boom, PROBLEM SOLVED🙌🏽 Money saved, thanks Eddy.
Thanks. This is great to know. Hopefully it solves our problem. However, if this was common, most people will have unknowingly replaced their starter and still not been able to start the car due to the issue you've identified. That being said, with most people changing the starter and the engine starting right away afterwards... The starter seems to most often be the cause of the issue and also the solution
Okay guys ut doesn't work for everyone but wait a second, just take out the battery and follow the cable that he is talking about and at the end of that cable it is connected to another cable that goes through the car and then to the starter. So make sure to check the bottom cable too becs it might be broken or damaged like mine
Man thanks so much for this video... the bmw mechanic here told me it was my starter and the Cass (key fob) he wanted $2,300 to replace and put a new one in... I did what you said and the car started right up... damn... I wanted to kick his ass for lying to me... but I didn't... the car has been running great every since... thanks again... another reason I don't trust mechanic's...
Would this trigger a check engine light in the dash. I have the same problem and I have alr replaced my alternator starter and fuel pump. I’m gonna try this out tomorrow!!
man eddy! talk about shade tree mechanics! the shop cudnt figure this one out! man i haven't seen any other video on here explaining this! i just left the shop with the car...AFTER I FIXED IT AT THEIR SHOP! 😱😨 that's how they felt and looked! saved a few hundred! big ups to you my boy! you tube mechanics! get it! search the tube first! bet ill be trying to buy some no starts now! 😁😁😁😁 good looking though. the look on their faces was priceless...and i used their tools! 😋
Man imma go home and check if this is what’s wrong. thanks for helping the bmw community out. Got a bmw for free and they couldn’t figure why it wasn’t starting… 🙏🏽
Did it work for you? I’m having this same starting problem with my bmw, just changed the battery, got a new starter last year in August, we are going to try this today 🙏🏽
@@StephCherie I did try this fix but I don’t think it was the problem. It ended up being the starter. Previous owner installed a cheap starter so I ordered a used $35 starter from eBay and worked like a charm. Got lucky and started up after some engine cranking. Does your engine crank over? Are there any Trouble codes? I hope you figure it out. Good cars.
Thank you Eddy for this my machinic had to do a little different way but still did some way on how you did on the battery but your idea on checking the battery first works the fuse/hella terminal blew out I'm pissed my boyfriend paid for a whole starter but when the machinic tried the battery thing it crank right away thanks again
😂😂😂😂 dude I can not with you you had laughing tf out loud cause you got straight to the point I gotta 2008 328i and i installed a new starter and we put a new sensor too and it still won’t start we also trying to figure out out this damn relay but we can’t find this same relay now where in my town
My 2008 E90 335XI clicks just once when I push the start button. Is that what yours did? Everything else works...radio, wipers, dash, etc. Just one click when I pushed start button. I hope this will fix it. I'll try tomorrow when light out.
@Eddie loves cars.. my car was working normal ,next day for work no start but light work n everything ima give this a go if it works I think I should pay you at least something
@@muhammadalshawi8082 not exactly.. I wouldnt recommend it.. Jus swap tha starter n ignition coils n spark plugs.. Hmu on instagram (ONLYUDA) i sell ignition coils (coil pack) n spark plugs tha good ones i stealm from my job AUTOZONE so ill give em half price alla time
On the positive terminal that was separated I actually put it back together, drilled small hole through it and used a long screw two washers and a bolt to fasten it back together permanently.
What's up Eddie my man!!!!! Bro you are a fucking life saver man! I struggled for two days trying to figure this out! Went online for hours. Then i decided to go to you tube and saw your video. I tried it once pushed it back all the way at least i thought and put it back on and nothing..... took it back off and said imma give it another shot beat the crap out of it, put it back on and bammmm car started hahaha i was so happy! Thanks man you are an awesome human! To the ones that are gonna try this make sure to be careful with the side where the sensor goes. I messed it up a bit had to fix it up a bit. Put on something that is not gonna harm it too much!
had a similar issue with my 2006 e90 (330i sport edition) but when I checked that part of the battery/starter cable it was ok. I ended up getting a really long speed bar and tapped the starter, though the intake runners, and freed the starter up so it would crank. now I know this did not fix anything but mierly allowed me to start the car so I could get it in to have the starter replaced.
Sadly this wasn't the issue for me but definitely a good money saver. Besides this double check the cable to the fuse box, the battery com relay, and the fuse box connector before unleashing the parts cannon.
Thanks to your video bro, i found out that was the problem on my bmw 328i, i was about to replace the starter thinking that was the problem, but i found out it was that cable you just mention
Lol thumbs up bro... I'm sitting with same problem and I don't have money to burn so I think I'm going start diagnosing that unit on the positive terminal.
Hi thanks mate I am going to have a look at my battery terminal posts and connection tomorrow. My bmw cut out as i was traveling over a speed bump and when I tried starting all I heard was that click click sound and the RAC tech said could be the starter or engine siezed mate. Your a life saver. Cheers
BMW has this system in just about all of there cars it is called a "BST" Battery Safety Terminal It has a small charge at the end of the terminal that separates the cable from the battery in an event of an accident this is to prevent an electrical fire that maybe caused by a major short , unfortunately sometimes they go off just by a small blow to the bumper. The actual fix is to replace the cable because the new cable comes with a new charge at the end of the cable , i hope this helps in understanding what a. "BST" BATTERY SAFETY TERMINAL is. Catch ya later. Yo.
Baby, i’m sitting in the same car that my daughter gave me, cuz she bought a new BMW van thing. Going through the same CRAZY crap, again. we’re dealing with 2 separate households of women. They live across the street, and it’s just me, sitting her w/ a CLICKING NOISE, my KEY WONT RELEASE & my CHARIOT & CANE are STUCK in the TRUNK⁉️ NOW WHAT‼️⁉️ oh Lord, all we need is a brother to help us out m, but we don’t even live a town Where we could find one. 😂😭😭😭
Bro it worked, I know this is an old video and you probably won’t see this but thanks man I was seriously getting worried I’d have to take it to the dealership and get fucked. How did you find out about this fix? You’re a genius 😂
Solition ,Hi brother BMW made this according to an european rule model to avoid starting the car after accident in case of maybe fire..it is calles bst option BATTERY SAFETY TERMINAL..just smash it back together so that the cable contact each other and when cable is reconnected car starts.. U see this many time at the scrapyard,and damaged cars..i went to bmw in germany and asked.chears
Break open plastic rivets surrounding bst, carefully hammer back into contact. Clear code and cycle ignition to check if it’s fixed. Now you’ll know for sure before you fork out €150 for new bst.. worked for me. NB. This is temporary!!
Hi Eddie . What year is your car . i have a 2008 BMW 328i . i tried following your instruction but the part where you have to hammer is coated with red plastic . What year is your car and the model . thanks .. and your immediate response would be appreciated.
vostro vostro th car is 07 328I 4 door...the plastic actually separates ... the terminals fit in "slots" in the plastic remove and put together as if you would a battery terminal on to a top pole .. easy
😂 Cheers my guy but you can lift that lil' flap and see if that thing is out. Mine f'ed up last night. Did like one crank then a half "rrr" and now nothing when pushing start button. Checked the battery using the little flap, shits way over engineered but sadly mine is not "out". Might be the starter 😬
Thank you . Great video and will help a lot I have a question, after that did all the warning lights go away or still there because I have all these warning light same as you

I have a question. TAHT issue you were having did I show as a battery problem ? Did all your lights turn on ???
Im asking the same question my shit all works ima go check and see if it is that fuse
is call bts cable guys if u want to replace it
It’s called the BST not bts hence why it’s called battery safety terminal

Baby, i’m sitting in the same car that my daughter gave me, cuz she bought a new BMW van thing. Going through the same CRAZY crap, again. we’re dealing with 2 separate households of women. They live across the street, and it’s just me, sitting her w/ a CLICKING NOISE, my KEY WONT RELEASE & my CHARIOT & CANE are STUCK in the TRUNK⁉️ NOW WHAT‼️⁉️ oh Lord, all we need is a brother to help us out m, but we don’t even live a town Where we could find one. 😂😭😭😭
This helped me out a lot I appreciate it
Thanks brother, fixed my junk.😀
Bro it worked, I know this is an old video and you probably won’t see this but thanks man I was seriously getting worried I’d have to take it to the dealership and get fucked.
How did you find out about this fix? You’re a genius 😂
im a shade tree mechanic of sorts.. so i just recognized the symptoms and started poking around with my trusty light tester .. boom problem solved lol
I'm glad this worked for you. I am going to try this myself.
SeeCam TheSweetFam I had to break the plastic red thing on the positive terminal, took me a good hour and a lot of patience lol
Solition ,Hi brother BMW made this according to an european rule model to avoid starting the car after accident in case of maybe fire..it is calles bst option BATTERY SAFETY TERMINAL..just smash it back together so that the cable contact each other and when cable is reconnected car starts..
U see this many time at the scrapyard,and damaged cars..i went to bmw in germany and asked.chears
Break open plastic rivets surrounding bst, carefully hammer back into contact. Clear code and cycle ignition to check if it’s fixed. Now you’ll know for sure before you fork out €150 for new bst.. worked for me.
NB. This is temporary!!
Worked for me thank you!
geniaaaal I love you brother👍
Thanks bro, I'm having the same problem I will try and see what happens.
Was it still trying to crank/turn over before you fixed it
"...or whatever the fuck it is, I don't care..."
Me explaining anything about my car to anybody.
Your awesome thank you for video.
That wire is the power to the Air Bags that pops out so the car will not start after an accident or when the Air Bag Sensor is triggered.
Thank you so much dude you are the best..
How in the heck did you beat it back in place? Just tried mine and I pounded with a hammer. Nothing, didn't even move. Going to try a clamp tomorrow.
YOU ARE GOD BRO!!!!
Thank you so much Sir. You are a genius. You helped me a lot and saved me thousands😊. You re DIY video worked and made an awesome miracle.
Hi Eddie . What year is your car . i have a 2008 BMW 328i . i tried following your instruction but the part where you have to hammer is coated with red plastic . What year is your car and the model . thanks .. and your immediate response would be appreciated.
vostro vostro th car is 07 328I 4 door...the plastic actually separates ... the terminals fit in "slots" in the plastic remove and put together as if you would a battery terminal on to a top pole .. easy
Before doing that did your car electrical components work like the lights windows radio etc ?
Yes everything works like normal .. just wouldn’t start
Learned nothing because I was laughing so hard ....part of the starship enterprise
😂 Cheers my guy but you can lift that lil' flap and see if that thing is out. Mine f'ed up last night. Did like one crank then a half "rrr" and now nothing when pushing start button. Checked the battery using the little flap, shits way over engineered but sadly mine is not "out". Might be the starter 😬
Car just started over heating.not smoking the no power.
Thank you . Great video and will help a lot
I have a question, after that did all the warning lights go away or still there because I have all these warning light same as you
Super helpful thanks alot
