E30 Switch:
Window Up 1 - Black or (Black/Grey)
Positive (+) 3 - Green/Grey
Negitive (-) 4 - Brown
Negitive (-) 5 - Brown
7 - Black Yellow (i had this, it did nothing)
Window Down 8 - Purple
The e30 switch is very confusing...... there are tabs that come from the up and down leads and its always touching, im guessing it has more resistence the more it is pushed down.
I tried to go from Power (Green/Grey) to the down lead (Purple) and it blew the curcuit. so im guessing it controlls the amount of voltage? thats what im confused about.
E36 Blue Base:
Negitive (-) 1 - Black/Yellow
Window Down 3 - Blue
Window Up 4 - Black
Positive (+) 5 - Green/Grey
Negitive (-) 6 - Blue/Green
I think that the blue/green ground is the stupidest thing i have ever seen
There are 3 different White Basee switches that i had, please check your colors. the Numbers on the switches still all lined up.
E36 White Base #1:
Negitive (-) 1 - Brown
Window Down 3 - Black/Yellow
Window Up 4 - Blue/Green
Positive (+) 5 - Red/Brown
E36 White Base #2:
Negitive (-) 1 - Brown
Window Down 3 - Purple/Grey
Window Up 4 - Black/Grey
Positive (+) 5 - Red/Brown
E36 White Base #3:
Negitive (-) 1 - Brown
Window Down 3 - Black
Window Up 4 - Green
Positive (+) 5 - Red
I havent tried hooking up any switches yet, but i tried the Green base switch. it didnt work except the bulb lit up.
Every switch i went through had a blown bulb. so if your bulb isnt working its because its blown. im going to change mine to LEDs, i think these little POS bulbs suck. i will be installing mine soon. i hope this helps some people
I try
