Electrical accessory failure

[Mr. BILL]

Hey ya'll,

It's been a while since I last posted. My e38 & 39 have been taking all my attention...and money lately.

Anyway, my son's '90 525 (auto) has been experiencing some electrical problems. The wipers, radio, OBD, power windows and a couple other accessories are kaput.

At first, it was intermitent and seemed connected to heavy rainfall. But, he tells me now its all the time, dry or wet. I'm guessing it's a relay or fuse, but any guidance as to where to look would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

You may know about this already but have you checked the fusible link?

Thanks! It's a dealer item I guess?
