Put a new wiring harness in and come to find out the windows, blower motor, and sunroof quit working. They all worked perfectly fine before and all the fuses are still good. I have 4 wires going to the starter but I haven't had the time yet to go check through wires to see if it's getting power to the cut off switch or the window buttons. Any typical issues with these combination of things going out? I did a little research but didn't really come up with all too much.

Sounds like you tripped the circuit breaker. It's a little black box on your center console or dash area. Looks like the picture below, it should have two green wires going to it.

99% sure it is the unloader relay. It normally grounds through the starter but opens when the starter is running to lessen the draw on the battery. check your connections at the starter again.Comment

I've hit the circuit breaker on off many times to see if my windows will kick on. But the circuit breaker won't kill my blower motor fan. I'll try to snap a pic of the starter wires tomorrow and make sure its tight. Which wire would it go through?If you're not going to do it right, please don't take it out on your car!Comment

I have 4 wires running to my starter. 2 thick ones, 1 middle size one, and one small one. Which one does the unloader run through?If you're not going to do it right, please don't take it out on your car!Comment

The small one on top. Check to see if it's broken. They damage easily when you torque the nut down and the wire / terminal turns with it against the solenoid. Then the vibration of the engine breaks the connection."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

One of the 3 relays by the c101 connector. 1 is the main relay, 1 is 02 sensor heater relay, other is unloader relayOriginally posted by e-dirtym52 View PostComment

I thought the those three were fuel pump, oxy, and main. At least that's what mine are labeled at.Last edited by e-dirtym52; 10-16-2013, 03:05 PM.If you're not going to do it right, please don't take it out on your car!Comment
