Car Forum / BMW Cars / June 2009E36 '99 M3 Electrical Problems
Sometimes it's the brake light. Other times the license plate light. Other times it's the anti-skid control. Today it was the HVAC. Any ideas about what I need to have fixed? on 6/4/09 9:44 PM kenabbott said the following: > Sometimes it's the brake light.

Sounds like it is a central controller unless you bought a car that was in a bad accident and "prepped". >on 6/4/09 9:44 PM kenabbott said the following: >> Sometimes it's the brake light.

Nahh, there are lots of places where you have a whole lot of seemingly unrelated lines going through one big multipin connector, and if that connector becomes intermittent, weird things happen. Same with ground connections as well. It might be a good time to tear everything down, hit everything with cramolin and pack all the connectors with dielectric grease. It probably won't fix the original poster's problems but it's apt to prevent future ones and it gives him an opportunity to get familiar with all the possible points of failure. Not that there aren't plenty of controller and relay issues that can cause such things too, mind you. --scott  Signature"C'est un Nagra.
