Just spotted some Scotch Super 33+ Premium Quality Black PVC Tape on a well known action site. I'll try a roll of that and hope its not fake. It looks genuine. I will also solder all joints.
Thanks

Now you are aking the right questions and saying the right things even though you're choke choke taking the food from my mouth viper 1002 e36 needed - Page 2 -- posted image.  So it's a pleasure to help when I can.  Use the Scotch for wrapping the solder joints, pull reasonably hard as you wrap it.  You can use cheaper tape for your looming.  You might have enough wire, the purple and brown* you don't use to make it to the boot. Don't forget to let the solder run into the joints. What is the action site you mentioned please.  * The siren you have along enough lead to reach to the alarm point, earth it with the alarm, this will give you excess brown cable. Don't forget to set the alarm for negative parking lights.

howie ll.
The action site is Ebay.co.uk and this is the Item number: 120441024546.
Thanks for the reminder, I've just changed the jumper over to negative parking lights and have ticked it off the list.
I'm not going to bother wiring the alarms immobiliser up. I can see why you wouldn't use it. More trouble than its worth, especially when there a good one on the car already.
The Scotch Super 33+ Premium is ordered for taping the joints and I already have a roll of Draper PVC tape from Asda that should be OK for taping the looming.
Once the tape arrives and as soon as the times right I'll have a dam good go at it.
Thanks

howie ll. I have taken out the glove box etc.
The middle quadlock is yellow in mine and pin 4 is being used by a Blue/Black with yellow dots and pin 17 is unused.
This is different to your instructions. What do I do?
I have found the 4 brown wires in the quadlock to the right. How do I test/check them before connecting them up?
Thanks

The post above in incorrect.
This is the correct version.

The loom going across the bulkhead. Do you mean the smaller one that goes just behind the heater controls or do you mean the very large loom that is against the firewall?
Thanks

Sorry the empty is the lock (17), other (4) is unlock.

Wire testing:- Red lead to 12volts+ and black to each, you should go from 0v to 12v+ whenever you open a different  door of the four.

The very large loom against the firewall. Note if you cut any cable ties they are easily replaced.

No problem. I made up and soldered the 1 wire in, into 4 diodes out with the band side facing the 4 brown wires. I will test later and start fitting. The bonnet switch and siren is fitted know and I found a grommet that wasn't being used just below the glove box. I've found some cable ties in the shed so cutting the old ones off will make it much easer. Thanks for your help.

All sorted with the boot light. The harness that goes from the boot to the boot lid had 5 broken wires in it and a couple where the wire was showing through. Rejoined, soldered and sleeved and the boot light is now working fine. A common problem with the E36, so I've read.

howie ll,
Just want to make sure on a couple of things.
The thick red wire in the loom across the bulk head. That's my constant 12 volts supply, that I connect the red too.Can I also connect the Purple and PURPLE / Black from the alarm to this as well?
If not where can I connect the Purple and PURPLE / Black 12v+ to?
Thanks
