Electrical problem
2001 BMW 325 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 194000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
WHEN THE CAR GETS HOT FROM SITTING WITH THE WINDOWS UP, THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK. ALSO, YOU CANNOT UNLOCK THE CAR BY ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL BMW SERVICE PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. THE CAR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE EITHER. IF THE CAR IS COOL SUCH AS EARLY IN THE MORNING, I HAVE NO PROBLEM.

The general module controls the door locks. If there is a problem, there will be a fault set for it. Has the car been to the dealer? You report this issue occurs when hot and everything works normally when cold, does this include the remotes? Will the key inserted into the lock and held in the open position, comfort open the windows and sunroof?
