Title: blower fan and power windows not working
Post by: Sytran916 on August 15, 2016, 02:14:57 PM

i have a 91 318is, my blower fan and windows suddenly stopped working at the same time.  i checked the fuses, window switch breaker, and the ground wire under the dash by the brake pedal, everything looks fine.  my radio and obc work fine.  any suggestions?

Cracked wire harness? Is there power going to the window switches?

Might be the Unloader relay, which is responsible for cutting power to those items when you start the car.  Also check the wiring at the starter.

It ended up being a bad remanufactured starter
