replacing water pump, no climate control

nogaro · 03-10-2018, 12:58 PM

i am replacing the e-water pump and tstat. old pump leaking like crazy. almost have it complete.

question:
my climate control is completely out, no lights whatsoever. can i vent the system without the automated 12 minute pump process without a working climate control system? is there a workaround?

i am not sure what the issue with the climate control panel is, i've checked the fuses. its my next task. i did have an open on the fan blower some time ago which i fixed; the issue returned about a year later then panel went dead shortly thereafter. thoughts?

You can trigger the pump routine with diagnostic tools on a laptop. INPA (part of BMW standard tools) will do this.
