I was wondering if anybody has had this issue before...the stupid cup
holders on the X5 are placed right next to some switches in my car (a
center console includes 2 cup holders and the hazard lights switch and
the door locks switch).  I braked hard at some point on Sat. night and
remembered a bit of my pop falling on to these switches but thought it
would be fine.  I parked my car and a few hours later on my way home,
the door locks would keep randomly locking and unlocking and the
hazards would go on and off randomly...as if somebody was pushing
these buttons.  I parked my car Sat. night at home and didn't use it
again until this morning, and now the battery is drained.  My bf tried
to jump my car for a bit, but he had been having battery problems
earlier with his car and we aren't sure if he had enough power to jump
my X5.

I read some forums beforehand, and someone said that if this problem
occurs, just replace the center console buttons...here's the link to
the part....

Is it possible that just a fuse or something blew out in this part,
that robbed my car of all it's power, and I need to replace it before
I can charge my car again?  Most likely, the hazards and door locks
were going off all night until the car's battery just drained....

I am worried that this is going to be a huge problem, and I really
hope not...so i would appreciate any help you can offer...thanks so
much.
