help please..

As you know I'm new to the E30, I have a few techie questions:

1. My elecric windows only work with the door open?

2. My central locking doesn't work?

3. How do the deadlocks work?

4. It's a 1990 2.0i convertible, does it have a cat, there is a big centre box, it doesn't look like a cat, but is it?

All help greatly appreciated, thanks in advance,

Adam

with regards to the electrics, check the drivers door connector they are prone to corroding giving intermitant faults

1/ Check fuse 17.

2/ Do a forum search for "red/black wire" and my username. I'm not typing all that out again at this time of day.

3/ Deadlocks are worked by turning the driver's doorkey to the horizontal position and pulling out the key in that position.
4/ Cat was an option on this model, but rarely fitted. Feel under the front battery tray. There should be a four pin round socket clipped there.
If the socket just has a blanking plug in it then you don't have a cat.
If there is a lead going on from it (to the lambda sensor), then you do.
