    URGENT NEED HELP 320i not starting

    Hey i have a auto 320i and it wouldnt start without me playing with the shifter. I pulled the shifter apart and found that the 2 wires coming for the shifter were split so it was causing it to think it wasnt in park or neutral. So i was wiring them back together and accidently left the ignition on and shorted the two wires together. Now when i turn the ignition on there is no lights on the dash except for the battery indicator. So im thinking fried ecu or a fuse somewere? any help PLEASEEE

    park or neutral. so your car is an automatic. ok.

    have you tried disconnecting the battery for a minute and then reconnecting? have you looked at all the fuses?

      yeah i tried that i pulled it and put a freshly charged battery in it and the problem is still there. And yes i had a look at the fuse panel in the lh side of the engine bay and they all seem fine. My car is a japanese import so i dont have a guide to the fuses. Which number fuse should i be looking at? I really need it going as its my only vehicle

        hey everyone found the issue a fuse on the RH side of the box (7.5 amp 35v) was broken but still appeared to be fine. An ohms test saw that it wasn't alright and that was causing the issues

          Fuse 10? It's the main fuse for a lot of important accessories, including the start circuit. Mine kept blowing because the wires for the check engine light (which I had disconnected because I got tired of it being on) were dangling behind the dash and grounding on the ABS unit housing. Taped it up, replaced the fuse, and we're good to go.
