Rear electric windows

Post Sat Apr 16, 2005 1:25 pm

I'm converting the rear windows to electric on my touring.
I've fitted the reg and motors no problem, but there's no loom in the door for the motor to plug into, only the 3 wires for the C/L.
I've found the plug the C/L wiring plugs into in the B-pillar, and it has 6 wires going into it, but only 3 coming out...would these be the wires I need, or am I missing the loom for the windows?

I don't have any loom under the centre console either for the extra switches...

The small looms that run into the doors from the B pillars are sometimes missing, but every 4 or 5 door E30 that I've ever seen has had the rest of the loom in place, assuming that the car has OE electric front windows.
I don't know if any Tourings were ever made with manual front windows, but if your's has aftermarket fronts, than it would explain the missing loom.
How many buttons / switches do you have on the gearlever console, and do your fronts work with ignition on or doors open or both?

Brian, the fronts are deffo factory electric, it's all standard BMW stuff...

Looks like my car doesn't have the loom then

Why is there so many wires running to the connector in the B-pillar, and only 3 that come out the other side and into the door?
