Pull that plastic crap and look at the wires. I cant imagine even a 50K mile example being mint.

Replaced with doner relay, done deal. Everything I researched was the resistor pack/sword and the issue was a relay never spoken about is my point.

maybe you can re-solder it, open it up and check for cold solderings

The issue reared it's ugly head again today. Swapped relay #4 in the front distribution box with donar car. Issue resolved. Swapped back to make sure...

I can but waiting to hear from Bosch. With their remanufactured alternators you get road side assistance and towing up to 50 miles for 2 years.

I would use the plastic cover from the old one. In any case we can clearly see the differences between non-Bosch and Bosch reman alternators.

My Reman Bosch just arrived! They are unable to send a replacement because they have none in stock.

Pictures man, what year is your car? I just went over the amp connector giving me the issue a few minutes ago. Hot water and baking soda with soft...

I can't really tell much from the pictures. My 'amplifier' if that's what it is, is mounted above by three screws on the right hand side as viewed...

Mine is doing it again, it's the smaller wad of wires going to the front end of the amp. Going to see if I can find which wire turns it on and fix...

John you may be right. I am aware of the CD changer but didn't know what the other box is supposed to do. In any case, I will look into it to find...

pics are in the link I posted above from wayback machine

Not under the window shelf, on left side of trunk under the insulation stuff. Under the window is CD changer and some old style phone modulator stuff.

I just found these for a 1998 E36 M3 from Detroit Axle:...

For info, the Japan specification only thermo switch relay, which gives an alarm in the check control when the cat gets too hot: BMW E32 735iL, E34,...
