Meaning one of the dead CA handles in the rear was the culprit. Two solutions to fix the drain in my instance: 1) Troubleshoot further and find out if it's the left or right handle by leaving only the left or the right side connected over night. End result, either way, would be replacing both handles.

A subsequent replacement of said switch is said to have solved the problem. Ed in San Jose '97 540i 6 speed aspensilber over aubergine leather.
