Has the pin 8 dropped out the bottom of the holder?Originally Posted by wyze
alright i'm gonna need some serious help here
1990 bmw 525ia
here's my list
power windows/sunroof don't work
central locking doesn't work
obc is lit very dimly, can't read display unless at really weird angle
gear indicator is barely visible
wipers only work on full
blower only works on full
turn signal lever acts up(turning lights act eradically then work fine)
back door lights don't work(could be bulbs)
what works
power mirrors, heated seats, window switches light up(dimly), interior lights work, all head lights/brake lights and fogs work fine
i changed the fusable link, picked up rm, gm, ccm, lkm from a 92 525ia
replaced all the fuses(front and back)
there's a clicking coming from the power protection relay)
any ideas??
!!!edit!!!
i checked on another post i don't have anything in power protection relay
pin 8, nothing there!

nothing there, traced the wire back some, and nothing
i jumped pin 6 & pin 8 from underneath(relay in place), and the windows/sunroof etc didn't work
but the central locking now works???
edit
new info, winsheild washer fluid pump doesn't work either, but the heavy detergent pump works

According to my Bently pin 8 should have a red/rgey wire to it which connects to the red/grey wire at pin 6 so your jumper ought to solve that.
I'll give the rest some thought and reply later
"The gas pedal wouldn't go to the floor if it weren't meant to be there"
Try jumping pins 2 & 6 at the pp relay to see if the windows work.
The OBC sounds like the bulb only.
I don't understand the prob with the turn signal stalk.
The fan could be the "sword", covered here, search sword.
Is this car new to you or do you have some history? Did all this stuff go at once? Sounds like a bunch of unrelated issues to me.
"The gas pedal wouldn't go to the floor if it weren't meant to be there"
unfortunately i bought the car as is for a really low price, and these problems were already present
as for the turn, i traced it to a loose wire
i'll check out the sword repairs tonight
i'll jump pins 2 & 6 when i get time later tonight and i'll give you the results
thanks!!
alright some more info
i jumped 2 & 6 nothing, i'm getting 12 volts across the pins
the pp relay has stopped clicking
fuse 30 is only giving me(7.5amp) 0.19 volts ---> going to replace wire and let you know what happens
installing jumper between 6 & 8 on pp relay
alright replaced the wires at fuse 30, now getting 12 volts but still no windows
tried jumping pins 2 & 6 again nothing (but still getting 12 volts), all other fuses in rear are all still getting 12 volts
no idea?
swapped gm and rm still no diff --- but sounds like relay module is clicking?
haven't heard that before
