Title: Burned DME, Pictures Needed...
Post by: alexxander.foster on September 26, 2013, 06:05:21 PM

Hello!

I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I breech protocol.

I've been having stubborn idle issues on my 92 318is, so I decided to take a peak at my DME.  To my surprise I found three capacitors were burned pretty bad.  The capacitors are a part of the following circuits:
- 12V supply (pin 26)
- DME relay (pin 54)
- DME relay control (pin 27)

I'd like to repair this, but I need to know what their part numbers are so I can find out what their capacitance values are.  Would some kind soul be willing to take apart their DME and snap a close up picture for me?  I need to know what the letters read so I can figure out what capacitor value each one is suppose to be.

I need a picture of the left, bottom side of the board near the header.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

I might have one already opened, let me check & see.  It's from an E30, they should be similar if not identical.
