    E34 Touring Manual Swap

    Hi there, im just wrapping up a manual swap on my TDS touring and with it being a 1996 im having a few wiring difficulties.
    Theres no starter relay under the fuse box in the engine bay, and in my left side kick plate there's 2 pink relays labeled ABS
    I know e30luv318i posted a few years ago about sorting something within the ews module on the steering column but his instructions weren't very clear. If someone can give me a slightly better idea of what needs doing to the ews to get this thing to start, id owe you my life

    Thanks

    For a start (no pun intended), try leaving the auto trans selector plugged in, and leave it in P or N (or jumper the wires in the selector plug to simulate this). Your cruise control won't work, but this'll at least tell you if everything else does.
