Coincidence or FRM module failure?

So a few days ago my front passenger door stopped locking/unlocking, few hours later my driver's side angel eyes fail

I have full led bulbs and mtec led angel eye bulbs fitted by a previous owner. Not sure how long they have been fitted, the angel eyes always flash when starting the car or if i don't turn them on; is that normal?

I've just ordered some new mtec angel eye bulbs, I'm guessing if i fit the new bulb on the drivers side and the angel eye still doesn't work,. It'll be the FRM module?

It's a E90 2006 330i Msport

Is it likely to just be a door motor and bulb or is it more common for the FRM to start packing up? I've checked all fuses and they are fine

Cheers

It's probably related to the failed angel eye bulb. But the FRM doesn't sound like it's dead. It's more likely the short circuit counter needs resetting.

The flickering you describe is normal. You can code the warm and cold bulb checks out which would stop this.

If you have Iona then you can do it yourself. It's pretty simple. If you want me to go through it with you I will.

Thanks, That would be really helpful if you didn't mind. I'll let you know how i get on later with bulb replacement. Still keeping my fingers crossed it's just a bulb failure

Cheers

When mine started playing up, it was a faulty bulb, but just replacing it didn't work, I had to do a short circuit reset (the garage did it)

Good news for me, replaced bulb and all working again. Which means i now also need to replace the door actuator

Old angel eye led circuit board was blown and melted. Look like cheap versions, unbranded

Thanks for your help
