Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Ok, well today I had a little problem with one of my window controls in my 88 325i. I started getting smoke from under one of the buttons. I ordered new switches for the controls, as well as some female connectors to replace on the old wires. But my question is, is it the switch that went bad or the wiring. The switch was melted from the overheating. New wires as well? Or not necessary?

Browning Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 more than likely the switch. Will the other side switch fit so you can make sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 You mean the other window switch, yeah it would, but the new ones show soon so I'm not stressing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Rplace both and forget about it. Not worth risking a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Theres 4 of them. I ordered four used ones. I'm just gonna replace the one I need to for the moment, and keep the other ones handy in the car. Thankfully, when this probelm occured I was coming from the junk yard and I had the tool box handy, but I had to hit up Parsons AVE to get some electrical tape.

Vander Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 This is a common problems with BMW 3 series. I have a couple switches if you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
