DIY - E36 window switch retrofit
Collapse
X
-
this retro fit is getting rediculous. I have two white base switches for my front windows and they work fine.
For the rear windows I had to go with the blue base switches.
Here's the problem: the rear e30 harness' are a little different. They have a different colored wires coming out of the base, but the socket/pin numbers are the same as the front so i didnt think it would be an issue. I used this to wire them up:
e36 e30 wire F e30 wire R e30 socket
PIN 1 = BROWN 1 = brown 4
PIN 3 = PURPLE = black/yel 8
PIN 4 = BLACK = blue/gre 1
PIN 5 = GREEN / GRAY = green/gra 3
PIN 6 = BROWN 2= brown 5
All that happens is that I blow a fuse. I have tried switchin the browns as well. Any help here? ThanksLast edited by aaron325ix; 02-26-2008, 08:11 PM.sigpic

Here is what my switch harness' look like. The front is black the rear is white. The e30 switch is placed next to the harness as it sits on them.
as you can see it is different from what you guys have. For example I dont have a purple wire. Never the less i tried to match up the socket locations regardless of wire color. That didnt work.sigpic
