    Fuse box layout

    Does anyone know where I can find a diagram of the layout for the fuses and relays under the bonnet?
    My car is a 1997 318is, I got to have a look at a 96 model but the layout is totally different.
    I have bought this car from a salvage company and would you believe the car had every single fuse and relay removed

    I have a 91 325i UK model, I think the fusebox is the same, so I'll take a pic of it and the lid (has the entire fuse and relay layout on a sticker in the lid) tomorrow & post them here

    One last request got the car running perfect bar the air con. There is a relay in socket 14 A/C Compressor. The pics so far have either had them removed or no slot for a relay.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Cheers

    How do we determine if a relay is bad?

    Since there is a whole thread on this, I would think that my question would have been answered. Thus I am concerned that I am missing something really OBVIOUS. Anyway, here goes... I don't see any NUMBERS on the relays! Which relay is which? I have no idea lol. And which relay number corresponds with what electrical circuit on the car? Please help... I've been told to replace relay 9 (?) for my blower motor and I don't know which one that is, as embarassing as that is... lol

    this is all I have found so far and this doesn't seem very clear... diagrams 1 and 3 seem not to agree with each other when it comes to K6301 and K6300... I also am looking at the layout of my 94 325IS which I am expecting is different.

    This is the e36 forum. Check in at the e46 forum unless someone here also has a e46. I think you'll get more resoponse posting a new thread in the e46 forum.

    here by production year the ETM's
    http://wedophones.com/BMWManualsLead.htm
    each ETM shows from around page 15-20 all fuses, relays, and for what they are, with drawings, and there is even at the end a component location finder. Just take your time and check all of the +/- 500-1000 pages of each ETM.
    AND download your built year one.

    The locations are molded into the cover IIRC.
