Crankshaft Speed Sensor need help

[joedir1]

well the reason I can not see the battery or check engine light is because they do not light up. I will check Bently book to see if there are bulbs in there that can be replaced or ?
Side Note; not sure what it is called, and was told by dealer that it is only available when you buy the whole wire harness. It is black plastic piece with a metal center and 240 ohms marked on the outside. It is connected on a brown wire, assume a ground. Any idea what this is and if it being broken can be causing some problems? Since we bought this a year ago, I dont recall the batt and engine lights working, but the dealer did say that this piece may mess up the dme. It has been running great up until this recent shutdown. thanks,Joe

Replaced crankshaft speed sensor and the car started right up. THanks to all who weighed in on this one. I really appreciate it. Other things to work on, but at least it is back on the road.

Buy a set of new bulbs and replace all, it has 3x 3watt guage illumination 6 x 1.5 watt bulbs for LCD illumination
13 x 1.2 watt bulbs idiot lights. The 3 watt bulbs are discontinued with the new part # 07119905358 I had a couple bulbs left over maybe from different dash clusters.

Have no clue about the 240 ohm thing your speaking of but the bulbs burn out over time.

Is this the crankshaft speed sensor (aka pulse generator) - item #3 for a 89 535i (m30)?
