Fuse for Driver Comfort Access, & Exhaust Flap

[MarioKart]

My M4 has two electical issues and wondering if these have fuses?
1. My driver door wont lock or unlock when using comort access.
The door does work perfectly with the remote.
2. My stock exhaust flaps are stuck open. I made sure the connectors are tight and secure. I added a JB4 OBD2 connector, which controls the flaps, Open, closed and OEM operations. The JB4 didn't help, so I'm not sure what else to try?
I'm hoping it something it's an easy fuse fix.
Thank you
Mario

I would take it to the dealer... 4/50000 warranty make them deal with it.

Some would say the exhaust flaps stuck open isn't an issue, it's an enhancement.

The CA thing would drive me nuts though. Use the remote like some kind of savage?!? I think not!

I don't want to offend you but are you sure you are using comfort access the correct way. Try pulling on door handle very gently with key in pocket that seems to open it. When closing caress the door handle with key in pocket. My CA had same problem it didn't want to open the car with just touching the door handle, but closing seems to not be a problem.

You sure you're using it correctly?

No worries, this is my 5th car with CA, so I'm familiar with the process. The passenger door, trunk and trunk kick work perfect, its just the driver door.
I'm guessing is just a proximity sensor in the driver door that is bad.

I am a little lost on the Exhaust Flap being stuck open. I do like the exhaust open except in the morning in the garage and it vibrates the house for 25 seconds. It would be nice to have the option to be quiet, maybe I want to go toilet paper someones house, I would need a quiet exhaust.

Next week will be installing my Magnaflow Sport Black exhaust, so its going to get even louder
Thanks
Mario

Awkward. There's loving your M and then there's "loving" your M. Gotta know the difference.

Lol.

to the OP, that is weird. I got a new remote for my 335 back in the day and they forgot to program the CA on it so it didnt work at all, but for any doors.

Its weird that the CA works for everything but driver door.

Take to dealer.

As for Exhaust Flaps, did they close prior to you getting the JB4? or was this an issue before that.

jfox335, I love my ///M. Caress was not a good word to use even though I sometimes have to do that to get her to open.

Haha, German girls are high maintenance can't be too soft with them or you'll end up being their gimp.

I grab her with authority and show her who's boss. I've had no CA issues, she complies perfectly.

The problem with the EF was even when the car was stock and no JB4. I need to get fixed before I install my new exhaust
I curious if they coded out when I had the car mapped for windows up and stuff. Is coding the EF even possible?

Sounds like a coding problem, not a BMW problem. I'd get whoever did the work to fix it.

The exhaust flap works now and the CA is a bad door sensor behind the extire driver door handle.
The exhaust was a simple dealer reset. Because the exhaust rear connectors where discounted so long, the car naturally dumbed the signal. The fix took 2 minutes and I found out the exhaust flaps can not be coded out.
