Please tell me I didn't just fry all these componants

Okay so I have a BMW 2012 F10 528i xDrive. Yesterday I noticed my speaker box with sliding around a bit so I decided to anchor it to the floor board in the trunk. I forgot that there are power wires running directly underneath there which is a terrible design long story short I drove a screw through those wires. One purple one brown one red. Now im getting these errors and the car will not start like its not getting fuel. Please please please help

The modules are probably fine, but the wiring needs replacement.

Can you repair the wires? I'd try giving that a go if you feel comfy. Use a shrink tube on the repairs. and electrical tape.

Bte151515 · 06-29-2020, 06:15 PM

Yeah I repaired the wires they don't look or smell fried

so you're saying replace the entire harness or just the wiring that was grounded out? I checked the fuses they're all fine. But I suppose it's possible you're right. One of the wires melted and is still grounded out. I will pull the battery charger I've had on it offit's the wires grounded somewhere I should be getting some sort of discharge from the battery

Can anyone direct me to where I can get diagnostic software that is actually functional everything I try to download off the internet either doesn't work or need some token that I can't get

I'd replace the whole harness, but only replacing the grounded out wiring might be worth a try. At this point, you can't fuck up the wiring any worse so it's worth a try lol

My Rockford Fosgates came with a really heavy duty velcro that attaches to the underside of the subwoofer enclose and another piece attached to the floor board. this thing does not move and also if i have to remove or move the box all i have to do is lift up which in itself is hard to do as the velcro really sticks together. i cringed once i read you drilled a screw down through the floor board especially me knowing what's underneath

Shit that's a much better idea! Where the heck were you!?! Lol

been here lol! i have a build thread. just recently did a full audio upgrade

Velcro never came across my mind either, genius idea. Don't have a system in my F10 but my Expedition EL has 2 12" comp r's in a ported box and I didn't have it anchored bcause I want to be able to slide it around or take it out quickly based on what I'd have in the trunk

Yeah the velcro came with the Rockford enclosure. But I'm sure you can buy the velcro from Home Depot or somewhere. I've seriously been throwing my car hard into corners, round abouts and 360 freeway ramps and this box is not moving

So figured out I just popped the batter distribution block. Easy fix....
