|

This is a minor concern but can anyone tell me how the devil to get this flashlight to work on the key? After finally figuring out how to disassemble it, I can't reassemble the pieces to get the light to work.
I've replaced the battery cell but don't know if I'm putting the spring part back on correctly. I couldn't tell if the tiny bulb needed replacing so I didn't.
Again, this is minor compared to other things I need done on the car but it sure would be handy to have since I'm in the dark all the time with a black car. |

From what I recall (before that key dropped into a lake, and I had to use a spare...), the entire flashlight came out as a module, by pressing the BMW logo down and then sliding it to the right and out.
How the module came apart I cant remember, but maybe that will jog your head enough that youll remember how you took it apart?

If you can't get it to work, just go to the stealer and get a new one, ~$10. On the new replacement, the roundel is colored instead of black, a nice little improvement to the key. _________________ Michael
