Indicator stalk wiring
I am struggling up get my indicators to work, does any one have any wiring details for the e36 indicator stalk? I currently have the flasher relay supplying power to the input side of the indicator switch (from pin 49a of the flasher relay) but I am not getting any life when flicking the indicator switch.

I know that its easy to find the entire E30 wiring diagram on t'internet but never looked for e36. However that may not be of much use as they don't always show indivudual connections. I would start by taking a multimeter and checking what are the physical connections of the indicator switch. It should be straightforward (ish) after that.
I used a stripped down original BMW loom. It was a lot of work to identify and strip out all the unused wires but the plus side is that I didn't have to worry about stuff like indicators hazards etc. It was all plug n play... Cheers, Robin PS - Found it. Have a look here http://www.e36club.ru/faq/E36_Sedan_...after%2093.pdf |

I spent a good couple of hours with a multimeter mapping the terminals on the stalk switch, and that was only after I had worked out which terminal the indicator live and the flash / main beam supply should be connect to :icon_confused: I have a full set of 1994 E36 wiring diagrams if they are any use. If you PM me your Email I can send them to you. Nigel |
I remember this taking a bit of testing to work out. The wiring diagrams say what's what but not how they work. From my notes where I chopped off the BMW connectors and popped an 8 way on...The pin numbers won't help but the colours may
Indicator Stalk to 8 way multi connector 1 – BRN – Ground 2 – YEL/RED – BC when brought to ground pin 1 3 – GRN/YEL – Main Beam Flash when contact to pin 4 4 – WHT – To High Beam relay and dash 5 – BLU – Right Indicator 6 – BRN/RED – Live from Horn relay - grounded on column 7 – GRY – Left Indicator 8 – YEL – High Beam on – From the main Off/Sides/Head switch Indicator Stalk - left on original connector GRY/BRN – unknown GRY/YEL – unknown GRY/GRN – unknown GRY/BLU – unknown |

I'm not sure, but the indicator switch may not be happy switching the full current of the indicator lamps? |
Managed to get it all sorted! Thanks!
