I have a 99 BMW 323i convertible that is having problems initializing the hall sensor in the deck lid motor. I've initialized the motor lots of times, open closed pushing down on the button, pushi

look for a blown fuse or a bad relay or bad sensor. possibly the mechanism is in a mechanical bind .. i would go to youtube and search the issue to see if it's a common problem and if so there will be videos on fixing it ..

P1119 - OXYGEN SENSOR HEATING 2 AHEAD OF CATALYTIC
CONVERTER

absolute heat temperature in exhaust- high inlet signal.

the perpetrators could be a lot of things, but the exaust is too hot for some reason.

run the fault codes and look for a sensor / servo fault for the torque converter clutch

If your top is electric then you will need to release the front cowl motors at the center point of the trim in front of the rear view mirror(small access plug needs to be removed and allen key inserted to drive unit.) You also need to pull the release handle under the back seat bottom(driver's side) The release handle detaches the drive units for the storage lid cover and the convertible top drive. Once the motors are released, the front of the top must be lifted approximately 6 inches and the pressure against the rear of the top will relax. raise the rear bow, open the storage lid, lower the rear bow and push the front of the top up and toward the back of the car. The top should fold into the storage area. Once in, close the storage lid until it clicks.

i AM SURE THERE IS A WAY TO DO THAT TAKE THE OVERHEAD COVER THERE IS A SMALL BOX YOU HAVE TO TRY TO OPEN IT WITH A SMALL SCREW DRIVE AND UNSCREW ITAND PULL THE COVER CAREFULY AND YOU WILL SEE THE TOP CONVERTIBLE MOTORE AND DESCONNECT THE WIRE AND RUN A WIRE FROM THE BUTTERY AND CONNECTE IT WITH THE END OF THE MOTORE IF IT DOESN'T MOVE TRY TO SWITCH THE WIRE OK i HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU ME TOO I HAVE A PROBLEME WITHE MY BMW 323I 1998 THE TOP DOESN'T GO DOWN THE CONVERTIBLE SWUITCH DOESN'T HVE A POWER A REACHING IT IF SOMEONE HAS UNSWER PLEASE SEND ME AN E-MAIL [email protected] THANK GOOD LUCK.

i had the same problem with my 1998 bmw 323i and right under the back drivers seat there is an emergency convertible top lever with a orange tip on it. i removed my back seat to make it easier. when you pull that lever, you will hear a bang sound. that is the sound of the motors disengaging.(there are 3 top motors in the trunk by the left side panel when you remove it) you will then have full access of movement to either put the top up or down. But before you do any of this, i Really suggest you watch this youtube video. if this link doesnt work, you can go to youtube.com and type in bmw convertible top motor stuck and click on the first link BMW DIY #3 E36 Top Repair. I suggest watching the whole video first before attempting or if you want, you can have a mechanic do it! hope this helps

no the fan in front of the radiator is actully in front of the a/c condensor and serves to pull are across it for the a/c system. no fan on the motor will over heat the engine

check cam Positioning sensors

it could be the converter but most shops wont remove them unless they put in a new one

BMW 530d SE initially wouldn't start when hot now wont start at all.
