And some just burn away, like the Central Lock Modules do.
for those that requested pic, here's it's tested drawer.
Most of them were manufactured by Hella, BMW part # 1 373 974 ...
or 975 (with secondary removable clip on bracket)
and or by Wehrle / BMW # 61 31 1 380 231.2
for those of you with cabrios / iC, fuggetaboutit ., i tried but wiring is not same as in coupes, sedans or wagons.
(edit: i stand corrected, they do work on cabrios too, see follow up posts)
so how do i know if my car came with the delay relay in the first place, but maybe it just wigged out on me (without checking part # on the relay because i'm tired!)?
both my cabrios won't Time Delay. odd.
no matter how many relays i swap into 'em. 8(
I'm not positive, but part # 61 31 1 373 974 is listed on RealOEM (#2 on the diagram). I've never taken mine apart because I've never had a problem with it.

uhm, thanks, # 974'si9 got plenty of, so it must be something in the A pillar connectors.
thanks again.
for those who may still be having problems with their interior light delay, i discovered my problem was the drivers side exterior door handle switch. according to the wiring diagram it has has an note: "Timer is enabled when driver's exterior door handle switch AND any door jamb switch close..." {every time you open the driver's side door you're working this switch connected to the door handle} So, instead of tracking down a switch and pulling the door panels off, i just grabbed a quick splice:
simply lay the two wires you want to splice side by side in the quick splice, take a pair of pliers and squeeze down on the metal tab (which pierces the insulation, etc). and close the plastic cover.
I looked at the wiring of the relay socket and spliced the brown/green wire (door handle switch) with the brown/yellow wire (door jamb switch). Works great.
