There's two screws on the left and right side of the cowl and then there is two screws holding the box at the top.
    How do you figure?

    Here's my inpa codes, sorry for the phone photos it was just easiest that way.
    I've also found out a local shady shop is the ones who installed my key cylinder but BMW were the ones who programmed it.
    Notice the ews, I'm assuming that's my problem at this point.

    Also I notice all my moduals that have been giving me consistent codes are reporting either short to battery, or short to ground.
    This makes me think wiring issue as Eric suggested but I'm not quite sure what it means by short to battery.
    I've replaced my precat sensors but I'm not too worried about my post cat until she starts every day.
