obc fitting guide

[gaszman]

yes its looks the same but its joined to the ind stalk with the obc ? i am dumfounded

[Cloggy Saint]

whatever it is, it's nothing to do with the obc and shouldn't be there!

[Frenchy]

The plug shown on your strut topmount is not for the temp sender is there not a "light window" top right on the OBC face maybe the lamp is used for this ?
Not really sure as i have not started to fit mine yet will attack it very shortly though as i am due an "E30 Day"

na I certaintly dont have that bulb, I see the pic now.

that little yellow and green one I've got also and don't have plugged in either!

[nickso]

the yellow wire is for the external heater....completely ignore it....its for our scandinavian cousins use when their cars are in danger of popping a core plug.

[slinky2000]

the extra bulb is for the tow bar setup. it flashes once when you use your indicators to confirm a signal to the towbar electrics.

[gaszman]

ok cheers will do one thing with it

The late 4 pot Lux models all had the 6 button OBC as standard.

No they didn't, at least my '93 316 Lux Touring didn't

Is it easy to upgrade a 6 button in my Cab to a 13 button obc & fit the 6 button to my Touring?

[Cloggy Saint]

I went from 6 to 13 button and it's much easier than starting from scratch.

so can i just tape up the light and take the bulb out will do no harm to my car is this ok
