Electrical issues - possible FRM
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2017 2:21 pm
Started the car and headed towards work this morning. Got less than 100 ft and had several lights pop up:
A red service indicator,
Then yellow door ajar,
Then light bulb out.
These cycled over and over my entire drive.
I checked the doors...all good. Didn't check the others out. Car was driving fine. Got to my first stop sign and found my blinkers were dead. Then I started checking other stuff.
Door locks are dead (using interior switch), fob doesn't do anything either. Windows won't move, either opening the door or using the interior switches.
I did some checking and found it may be the Foot Well Module or FRM (Fuss Raum Modul). Potentially a battery going out as well.
Symptoms of the FRM is windows and blinkers dead, but also lights going to their default state (low beams on constantly for example).
Will try to pull codes tonight and check it out more. Hoping its not the FRM as it looks like that is $1500+ to replace and recode at the dealer.
Anyone else have FRM or similar issues?
