and you guys helped and told me to remove them. Thank god I did not fry the harness, I am lucky it is extremely cold in Egypt nowadays.
Then all of a sudden shit hit the fan:
- The turn signals went, now the left signal turns the left signal on once and then the right signal is on all the time with no blinking.
- The right signal does nothing and the hazard lights operate the left side only and they blink.
I tried changing the turn signals relay and the signals arm but in vain.
Yesterday it started raining and guess what?? The washer goes on when I need it but only stops when I stop the car and remove the key from the ignition, when I operate the washer the washers don't move as well. What next??
My car is completely nutts and I have a feeling those 100W bulbs did this??? Any ideas please...... I am completely lost and furious because of this a..hole electrician who told me to swap the bulbs.![]()
as well as all the bulbs once more.
there are also 'hidden' fuses or which you cannot see so easily.
Like this one (note: pic from E32, better someone confirms that fusible link B is also in the E34)

if 'fuseable link B' has popped, these things won't work:
Alarm (factory fit)
Central locking
Washer pump
Windscreen wipers
Radio
Interior lights
Radio
Rear de-mister
And these things are stillas they are
Oh mon,you have toasted your wiring harness.This can turn out to a nightmare, hopefully the burnt wiring spot can be visible.
fire or something else?? Is this only for the auxiliary wiring, I mean lighting and others?
Can this affect the controllers by any chance?
What are the next steps please???
but even not having it yet, yes I can predict you may have serious consequences, depending on the damaged wires. What to do? If harnesses are toasted, should be repaired (or replaced) ASAP.
You will need a good car electrician, not the one who recommended to switch the bulbs.

get a Bently manual and take it to a good auto electrician. You may be able to figure out some of the problems with the manual though.
