Default Re: E55: Deceased Derelict to Daily Driver

15 June 2023
I haven't updated this thread in a bit, but the E55 has slowly been assuming more and more daily driving duties. Replaced both front O2 sensors, air filters, and put on new wipers after a windshield change. This cleared out the fault codes for one of the O2 sensors, but the CEL remains due to the intercooler pump not running. It has been replaced, but still the code persists. Recently found where rodents chewed up another small bundle of wires behind the right headlamp, just above the pump, so strong possibility that the problem is there. I now have 1100 miles on the car, and just as confidence was building, the charging system experience a failure yesterday. Assuming the alternator went out, but the good news was that I was able to limp the 39 miles home, and made it just as the entire dash lit up with errors from the braking system, to HVAC to well, you name it. Turned the car off. It wouldn't start again. Jumped it today, and got it up on ramps to begin work. Unfortunately, the V8 Crossfire is taking up the entire shop, so work will have to be done in the shop driveway. Will get to it as soon as this afternoon's thunderstorms have passed....
