What! i noticed this is your second consecutive post for info on bmw wiring! Howard may help you, depending on what mood he is in, LOL, anyway, if you're dealing with technical vehicles such as these, although the colour of the wiring can be given to you, it's always wise to take your meter out and do the testing. ------------- COMMIT YOUR WAY TO JEHOVAH AND HE WILL ACT IN YOUR BEHALF.

Thanks for posting your suggestion but I have always thought since a topic for this year make an model does not exist it would be best to have some technical data posted in a thread since I don't have the resources to post it. Not that I would not meter it anyway but I find it easier to ask, have it posted and have some info going in. Regardless, this thread would be searched by someone in the future so that's why I ask if the info is not here already thank you!

Red, RED / blue or RED / Green, either at ign switch control module if it's a slot switch follow the cables down to a black control module, or fuse box. Starter wire will be either light GREEN/ black, BLACK/ blue, BLACK/ green or BLACK / YELLOW. Located in the engine bay. I've also been watching your posts, you've got to buy a DMM, I also think you're in over your head. As t&t intimates, I also think you're in over your head here.

Thanks Howie, appreciate the help. Like I said, for those that are not able to purchace those resources, and for the reason this site is here in the first place it would be nice to have something posted here for those searching for info on this vehicle.

Also, if you notice how long I have been here you'll see how long I have been using the info here throughout the years, an I have been logging on to this site before I even registared.. Although I haven't been contributing to the info myself I still use this site for some things. So to say it's over my head I would think is a ittle quick to comment.

Steve, I realise my comment must have sounded demeaning but I do call it as I see it. Like t&t I've noticed that you are asking very basic questions, most of which you could answer yourself with a DMM. We are here to guide you, not hold your hand. In the last 2 months I've done every Toyota and Lexus model and I hadn't done any for years. So I learned myself. I've been called the Peugeot Guru here and I hate them!....But I was determined to conquer them.

a DMM costs $6 minimum. And a decent one for $40. If you have internet on this site, there is no excuse. Especially if you own a BMW.

Like I said Howie, your posting info I can't find on my CD's or on Websites I'm not registard on I figuir I might as well ask because THAT info needs to be on here anyway for those that search so it's a good thing anyway. Disregard that fact that I'm asking and by the way yinke I have 3 of them. No I don't own a BMW but I do have an Audi A8L, I've been an installer since 91, I just like going into a job with info in hand and do all my testing on locations, being that I'm mobil. Anyway, thanks again Howie you always seem to post to my threads and it only adds to the search files here. Not asking for anyone to guide me or hold my hand I just figuired someone knows ahead of me. I guess it's hard to change old habits.

Sorry, maybe I'm envious bec ause I'd been installing for about 30 years before I came across this site. ALL my work is mobile, I've test meters and a MAC LED probe, wonderful for finding tach and also the good old Snap-On test probe. I won't use a power probe though. I know what evefrybody says but I work much faster with the Snap-On. Having said that I'm also very careful where I shove it. No unintended puns. The point is I'm always in the back of beyond, 2 cell phones (different carriers) inverter + cordless Weller and Weller gun etc. etc. It's just preparation and regarding cribbing, yes I do as well, DEI, Audiovox and this site which is excellent, unfortunately none are any good for European cars, even the UK and US Astras and Focus have wiring differences. I just get down and grind my way through, thats why I've about 20 clothing articles from DEI, Kenwood etc. for info sharing. Haven't bought a T shirt in about 5 years!

Steve- Now that you've explained your job a little better I understand. I assume that most people with low posts asking these questions need "holding their hand". I don't try to come across mean, but I want people to "learn while doing" instead of just "doing". So then redundant questions don't come up.
As for the DMM, I have a $50 craftsman, and it does everything I want plus more. But i do have a $500 o-scope that could make up for the price of the DMM

Re the Focus, did it have a combined fuse/gem box behind the glovebox? I did an R/Start recently, the grey/black (starter) was constant live! I think someone had been fiddling, anyway I had to go the a relay in the engine bay fuse box, also ignore DEI directwire ref door contacts on these and go to the BLACK/ yellw dome and diode the POS feed on all your lights.
