My 530I standard fitted telephone was working ok up to last week, I could smell burning wires inside the cars whilst driving and pulled over. i discovered the cradle connector to the phone was red hot as was the phone. I disconnected the phone but the cable was still heating up, I then removed fuse number 43 & 44 from fuse box in glove compartment (handbook says this is the telephone fuses. Now I find the cigarette lighter doesnt work but the socket does, the stereo doesn't swithch off with ignition and the heater blows cold air unless it is maximised. When I put the two fuses back in everything works ok except for the phone cable heating up. Now the air bag light is lit on right hand side of dashboard
Would welcome any information or guidance.
