It happened 1 week ago when I drove across town and my all internal electrics just "disappered". It started from no electric windows. Then I noticed no turn lights and headlights. Radio worked fine. Car was ok and it didnt die or something but it had no connection to listed electronics. Strangly enough as soon as I turned wipers on all came alive. At first I though my SAM unit died but I scaned it and there was nothing (yes yes - it wasnt on STAR). I will put on STAR as soon I will have access to one.

My brother in law told me, that he had similar problem with his old BMW 5-series and it was small crack on 80A fuse on battery. I was looking on EPC if there is a similar fuse on my battery but I couldnt find anything.

Where else should I start? - Except from STAR machine :P
 
Check the earth straps and battery connections firstly.

Then check the fuse box connections.

But firstly as you say get it on a Star.
 
Mine gave similar problems when the battery was almost dead (fanbelt & recovery flattened it). Recharged and no problems since.
