Help Needed After Repair

SomeMods27 · 07-05-2021, 04:32 PM

So this past weekend I decided to do a repair before it got worst and maintenance on my 2011 BMW 535i xdrive. Oil filter housing gasket, oil cooler seal, installing aluminum hose flange (Mickey Mouse Ears) and then routine oil & filter change. So after replacing oil cooler and oil gasket seals, with new hose flange, I wanted to check for leaks and run the car to get the oil at less nice and warm for the oil change. I topped of reservoir with coolant, Did water pump bleeding procedure, and water pump did not come on at all, I did procedure four times and nothing. I did have a 5 amp battery charger connected to the positive and negative stabs underneath the hood. Battery at 12.97 with charger or should I say battery tinder. I know water pump is good cause two days prior I was driving it no over heating. So either I’m not during the bleeding procedure right or battery don’t have enough voltage. And keep in mind I did check fuses. So any help or suggestions from fellow Bimmer Community?

Mess with the AC settings and make sure it's exactly as how the bleed procedure wants it. I couldn't get it to come on one time and it was because I forgot to set heat to max.
