OK. You now have the multimeter. Set it to measure DC volts; probably a scale of 0 – 15 DCV. With the ignition switch on and the fan switch on the highest ...

No voltage at Fuse #20... The Bentley manual shows in the fan wiring diagram that Fuse #20 receives power from/through Relay K7. You might try jiggling and ...
Yeah, that was the ground (brown). It would be a shame to cut into that blue wire. You're already in this far. Why not just remove the clip holding the fan...
Good question... When they're not clicking when they should be clicking (when they're energized) is one way to tell, I guess. Many of those relays in the fuse...

Somebody asked me if this board is still active, I said sure. However I just noticed that we haven't had a post since November 2007! Is everyone problem free...
Mladen, you may have suggested the answer to your own question. I suspect, as with your experience, there are not too many E-30/4 Cylinder owners left in the...
Actually I have been problem free. But like you stated most owners have learned how to work on theirs and I wasn't driving it. I retired it last year when my...
... I ... Mel, Of the 2-318i's I own, only 1 is stock. The AutoX/track car is a piece o' cake to work on now that I've gone to an onboard fuel/ignition ...
Bob, I think you are correct in your statement that 318i is fading away in the US. Fortunately, this is not the case with 6-cylinder E30 and the M42 engined...
That'd be me who originally asked the question about the status of the board. I'm looking for a place where I can ask questions and get answers without...
Rodd, e30tech.com looks interesting, when I started this group there was very little info about M10s, most everyone wanted to talk about M20s and M42s, and...
