Hi guys, I am curious if anyone has figured out how to get around this issue, I have a L322 2003 been working good with normal issues, but now she has this electrical noise coming from the nonedrive side door speaker.

Almost sounds like a constant short, a Brrrp(repeatedly) and once key goes into ignition it does a calculation sound almost and a big pop and than it's sorted.

Seems like sound system/alarm shorting out.

All fuses have been checked, haven't checked relays but they have been replaced and shouldn't be the issue.

When I sit in the kar and it's making the sounds when I press the lock key now and then it makes a Gzz sound, faint but I can hear it.

What would I need to do to check what's the cause ?
 
Look for water ingress in the electronics in the left rear quarter behind the trim. Water in the electronics is a common problem causing corrosion in the connectors and other damage.

Incar paddling pools were never a good idea and it seems BMW thought it was🀭
Go straight for the rear wing interiors. This is where a lot of the sound controls are housed. πŸ‘

Where would the water come on, so it Is wet under the back seat, so I put some news paper down to start absorbing a few hours at a time, but it is from back door seals that causes that to come in there ?
 
The seems between the roof and body sides are a good call. Also check the rear lower wheel arches for rust inside and from underneath. It can be terminal or expensive to put right πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
 
Ours use to do similar then the amp in back left quarter died. Changed it and all was well for a couple of years. Occasionally we get some noises still but just live with it. You could unplug the amp plug and check for green corrosion and give the plug a clean. Be carful as the amp has some very tiny pins where the plug goes into. Might be worth a look.

I learnt fro a body shop that there was a factory and dealer mod to prevent water ingress round the rear lft windw, the seals at the top of the window fail. It involved fitting a plastic sheet over the electrical gubbins to stop water dripping straight onto it. Sadly I didn't keep the LR info sheet on that.

Maybe silicone sealer round the window rubber would help stop water ingress.

So the mod didn't fix the leak but just the symptoms πŸ˜‚
Here you go sir, we've resolved the problem for you, by the way here is a free gazebo to park it under πŸ‘
