    Yup, 4 wires for the E36 switch, 5 wires coming out of the E30 wiring
    care to pull out yer shift boot and take a picy picy of the wiring?? PLEASE! TIA :D
    I'll take one in a few days when my new shift and ebrake boots arrive.

    There are a few pics of the wiring on the first page, though.
    josh, your pics are actually really good. but the reason im askin matt to take a pic is that he has the same switches as me (4wires instead of 5), plus the wires are the same color as mine also, so it will make my install much more simple.

    gold, I have the same ones you have there in my car. Large white base. Both of mine have different color wires, lol
    thats what im saying!! LOL, so yers have 4 wires also? that means josh's writeup is pretty much useless for these switches...exept for the wire testing part, that is pretty good info.

    Large white and blue base work. Wire colors will vary.

    these are the switches i have, yet another different type from the ones listed...these are the 4 switches out of an e36 4-door...




    i noticed that all 4 switches i have only have 4wires, but they are the LARGE white base and not the small white base...will these ones work??

    Inline of 2 fatty green wires.

    ah.. that would make sense. So along those same lines, would the cars with the circuit breaker above the passenger switch not take a full current load either or is the circuit breaker just inline of the full load circuit?

    I think the one touch switches are switching a low current draw relay, rather then switching the power window current.

    The wire size is drasticly different.
