    '04 e66 - Won't Crank

    Day 3 troubleshooting.


    2004 754Li e66 110K miles


    Car sat idle for two months, now it won't start, won't crank.


    The battery was purchased on 10/2020. It was taken to the point of sale, charged and load tested and deemed good.


    I cleared all codes yesterday morning and left the car to sit for 24 hours and ran codes again. The following were generated
    A14F Driver Interior lighting present
    A158 Present Power Module closed circuit current
    A161 Present Power Module battery disconnection


    Car Access System - no codes
    DME Motor Electronics - no codes


    I have an Autel scanner and allows me a LIVE DATA view of systems


    Power Module - Live Data
    Battery Switch contact 1 - open
    Battery Switch contact 2 - closed
    Wake Terminal 15 - On
    Temperature 68 F


    Power Module Output - Live Data
    Output Terminal 15 - On
    Output Terminal 30 - On
    Output Terminal R - On
    Output electrical load, roof - On
    Output electrical load, body - On
    Output light module - On
    Current Terminal 15 - 0A
    Current light module - 0A
    Current Terminal 30 - 13.32A
    Current Terminal R - .14A
    Current Roof - 0A
    Current body - 0.5A


    Battery - Live Data
    Temperature - 71.6F
    Current - 14A
    Voltage - 11.4 V
    Charge State - 20.7Ah
    Discharge Total - 22Ah
    Charge Total - 0Ah


    Do I have a defective Power Module or is something causing the Power Module to shut down?


    If I have a defective Power Module, my understanding is that it must be coded. Is that for a DIY or an advanced shop?


    If not a Power Module, where else do I look?


    FWIW -


    All fuses in glove box and trunk checked for defects.


    Power Module was removed, disassembled. Nothing serviceable as boards and contacts are covered in epoxy. Cleaned any/all exposed contacts best possible.


    IVM was removed, all solder points retouched. Checked all fuses


    I have read about owners whose cars have Comfort Access System (S322A) causing issues, this car is not equipped with that.


    TIA
