So I have a new problem and didn’t know if anybody had dealt with anything similar. 318is 1991. Everything was running good (except my aftermarket radio would go black after a while, though still playing music. Just couldn’t do anything with it. Now it’s dead dead.) A relay fell down under the dash and hit my foot. So I just tucked it back up in there while I was driving. Then when I was backing out of my parking space, the relay (connector and all) fell down and landed on the floor. Turns out when I stuffed it back up there blindly, some wires caught the steering shaft when I pulled into a parking space and ripped 5 wires out. Now I have no power to the tach, fuel gauge, temp gauge and blower motor. I soldered the wires back together and put the relay back in. The relay had 2 brown wires on one terminal, one brown/purple wire to another terminal, one green/white wire on a third and one brown/white on the 4th terminal. But nothing changed after reinstalling it. The tach, blower and fuel gauge work for a second after starting the car but then go out… Any ideas on what I might of fried or how to test the relay? It’s strange to me that they all work for a second but then go out. The fuses all look good, though I haven’t put a meter on them yet.
