Guys,
I've been driving an M50-swapped `88 325 for about 9 months with ZERO issues. Engine was from a manual transmission `94 E36 325is. My car is a manual car as well.
Today, my car didn't want to start. Didn't turn the starter over, nothing. After wiggling the steering wheel back and forth a few times while holding the key on, she turned over, but ran like crap, cutting out and stuff. Intermittent voltage. Now she won't try to fire at all. Doesn't crank, nothing.
Additional symptoms:
Windows stopped working
Power mirrors stopped working.
The radio works
the wipers work
the OBC works
the check panel works
My grounds all appear to be in good condition.
The huge fuse on the positive battery cable in the trunk is fine.
I replaced the Main Relay with a known good working one.
I replaced all the relays in the fuse box with known working ones.
I have not replaced either of the other 2 relays (fuel pump & ?). Doesn't seem like either should be causing these symptoms.
Wiring harness adapter was done by EricT (I haven't had any issues with it, I just thought that question might come up).
I'm pretty screwed, in that I'm supposed to do my first ever HPDE this weekend, and now my only suitable track car won't run!
Please help!!!
