    Power Windows / Dash light issues

    85 325i
    My power widows and dash lights work intermittently. Cigarette lighter also has no power. I’ve checked all fuses with a continuity tester and have checked the connections as well. Everything seems ok. So the problem obviously lies elsewhere.........

    I was told that I may have a bad ground somewhere......a seemingly common problem (again, as told)...but just “where” I have not a clue. Is there a common ground for both systems and if so, just where is it located.

    If there’s something else I need to check, I’m open to all the suggestions you have to offer.

    Hi,

    You need to check all wiring for continuity, and breaks, loose connections, chafes. As you've done part of this ,check things like power window motors, cluster display internal connections. Get the help of a local reputable auto electrician. Put this question also in the E30 section as it's nothing to do with car audio and associated electronics.

    Cheers, Dennis!

    Is there any aftermarket equipment that is installed in the vehicle? r3vlimited forum is your friend.
