E36 Window Switch Writeup?

[MR 325]

Yes guys, I did a search but didn't go too well.

Anyone have a writeup on how to swap them in? I have 2 switches comeing with wiring and connects on them.

I know spencers did this recently, maybe you can help me man.

I sent it to josh forever ago. I don't have it with me to re-host.

Pretty simple, really. There's 4 wires: 1 is power, one is ground, one is up, one is down.

The brown one is ground, and the one containing red (i think it's red/grey) is power.

easy enough to figure out which is up and which is down.

Are the E36 switches a great improvement over the E30 switches?

Not if you like jamming your finger to open your window.

This info applies to modifying e30 LIGHTED switches
over to e36 LIGHTED switches with the WHITE base.

e36 BLACK ----> e30 #1 BLACK
e36 PURPLE ----> e30 #8 PURPLE
e36 Red/BRN ----> e30 #3 Green/Blue
e36 BROWN ----> e30 #5 BROWN

The 5th Brown wire on the e30 side is just an extra
ground. It won't connect to anything on the e36
switch.

That's what I followed
