Anyone have page 6210-2?

I have something on Fuse 21 that is on and draining power from the battery, and in the process of tracing circuits, discovered that this page is referenced as a connection from fuse 21 (on page 0670-10), but is not in the ETM we have.

Thanks!

Edit: And it's not the trunk light switch! Unless that pulses about 3 times per second when it fails, and continues to do so when the trunk light switch is physically removed from the car.

Not really, no. I know it goes to pin 2 in connector C1 of the instrument cluster - I am curious where it goes from there...  :)

Thanks, though!

I am the village idiot when it comes to anything electrical (sounds like you're speaking Greek to me) but I do think I have all the wiring diagrams - just not sure what you need (the numbers you gave don't correspond to my schematics)

For 318is you need Bentley service manual for E30 AND e36, since the m42 engine is found only from e36 manual-

OK, I found what I was looking for, in the manual for the 1992 E30 318ic, so it should be the same in our cars.

It's not the Bentley I'm looking for, as I have both the E30 and E36 Bentley's - it is the particular page I asked about in the ETM.

I've extracted the pages to a .pdf file containing just the Instrument Cluster pages, but I can't attach it because of the file size limitations - it is about 800k. Febi?   :)

How does the ETM compare to Mitchell?

Here is the instrument cluster schematic from Mitchell

I have modified the ETM we currently have to include a lot of the missing pages - however, I don't have a means of hosting the file. Anyone care to host it? It is over 16MB.
