Electrical problem
2004 BMW X3 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 64,300 miles
Hello there, my wife and I have a 2004 BMW X3, 3.0. In January 2008 we purchased it from a hometown dealership in Long Beach, CA, but now live in Alabama. For the past week the low-beam & high-beam headlights
as well as the rear lights flicker on and off, sometimes staying off.
The dashboard lights and all other LED signals stay operational without
problems. Any good ideas on where I can begin a process of elimination
on the car
and fix the problem? I took it to a local BMW dealership who performed
a diagnostic test, and fiddled with the battery cables; then said it
was fixed... Unfortunately it is not. I'm looking to see if it is
something I can check or do myself before I bend some arms at the
dealership and be obligated to pay a ridiculous amount for something
simple (?).
Your help is appreciated!

on a 1994 buick park avenue the car when cold and first started the trans makes a loud buzzing noise in park, when the car is put into drive or reverse will move about 75 feet and stop with what appears to be a slipping trans and will not move until cools down for half hour or so. The trans fluid is black in color and dont know if there is a trouble code that flashes for onboard engine computer. Our first plan is to pull trans pan and inspect, change filter and put pan back on and fill with new fluid. Any other suggestions if this does not work?
