wardyboy Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 i recently bagged myself an h-reg bmw 316i mint condition everythings original tool kit, first aid kit only 100k on the clock. anyway the lighter wasnt sticking in, so my brainy fried said its ok!..move the little grasper things with a screwdriver! before i had a chance to tell him to bugger of he done it..big spark, alarm turned itself on, radio aerial stuck half way up (automaticly goes up when keys in igniton) so popped the hood looking for the fusebox, found it all fuses ok not sure about the relays. anyway there should be another fusebox on the interior for the interior electrics..cannot find it anywhere! taken the upper pannel in the glove box off, nothing! taken the pannel around the steering coloum off, nothing!? now i cannot listen to some radio stations, neither can i arm the alarm (which is a big problem in my area!) so im wondering does anyone know where i can find this ellusive fusebox?

stretch. Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Usually behind the glovebox, squeeze the sides and they drop down 9 times out of 10, Failing that, I've seen them around the drivers side kick panels.

Rocketkiller Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I don't know about german cars, but in american and japanese cars they're usually in the driver's side kick panel like stretch. said. Or you can just google it, should be easy to find. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/433924-electrical-help/?do=findComment&comment=1059657428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch. Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 ah but believe me, you'll be raped for insurance because of your age and testicles.

dog_day_sunrise Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 You'll be paying an insurance premium for something that's slower than your average hatchback. Yes its RWD, but it's still not worth the premium over something more suited to a learner.

stuart-88 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Nice car, I had a 325i in that shape for a while, til the valves went snap. I have a 318i e36 and 328i e46 now. I'm addicted to the RWD Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/433924-electrical-help/?do=findComment&comment=1059682444 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm addicted to the RWD RWD FTMFW. I used to have an E36 328iS. Lovely car. Never got why they bothered carrying that old, archaic engine over into the E46 just to replace it with the 3-litre later though.
