The thing is I have four more cables on the switch - from terminals PR1, PR2, PL1 & PL2. I haven't found out what these are for yet... They're small cross section, so they're not taking a lot of load... The only thing I've come up with is they're something to do with the on-board computer my donor had.
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I can't read wiring diagrams!  |
I can't help for the ignition switch as I re-used the BMW loom and fusebox - I certainly have those wires but they disappear off into the loom and do I know not what (and don't care as long as everything works). Could they be something to do with the un-loader circuit (which you won't need if you are not using the BMW fusebox)
Have you looked at the wiring diagrams on
www.diakom.ru. I have a complete set for 1989 vintage if they will help (In pdf format) I think they are taken from the BMW workshop manuals and are more complete than those I have found anywhere else.
