Ventilation Runs After ShutDown
The search function really is a wonderful thing. I was about to post something titled "Here's a new one," but find out it is not completely new.
When I got in my car this evening and started it, the ventilation was blowing full blast into the footwells although the main climate controller was set to "off." The car had been idle for approximately 90 minutes. The temperature was in the 70s (low 20s for you Celsius minded folks). I have never used the parked car ventilation and confirmed that it had not been triggered somehow. Cycling the ventilation did no good. Turning the car off had no effect.
BMW Assist was no help, suggesting I call BMWNA Customer Relations, which also was of no help. Fearing that the battery would drain overnight with the ventilation continuing to blow, I called my dealer, whose service department is open until 9 pm. The very helpful service advisor invited me to drive over and arranged for a loaner. Fortunately, the regular technician who works on my car was on duty and immediately hooked it up to diagnostics. The car is there having its computer brain analyzed. I should hear something tomorrow. To kill two birds with one stone, I am having the steering angle sensor recall done tomorrow instead of next week as originally scheduled.
I would appreciate hearing if any of you who had this issue before ever determined the cause or the solution.
