318i 1991 Auto Help!!!

[Brian]

My son has just purchased a 1991, 318i, auto.
Someone banged into him and he had it repaired.
Now the problems start - the fuses keep blowing - central locking, right headlight(bright), interior lights, rev counter, fuel economy gauge, radio, etc.
Can anyplease assist is suggesting where to look.
I also require a fuse diagram / list of what each fuse is for. There are the numbers on the fuse box.

something is not wired right or there is a short, where was the hit, maybe near something electrical?

as for the fuse box, check here, it is for a M3 E30 but should be similar in most ways.

Thanks Mzbmw325i, The diagram is perfect.
Yes, the guy who repaired the car will now fetch it and get it right (after much harsh communication) He did rewire the headlights and I am sure this is where it all stems from.
Thanks for your prompt reply.

I would guess that the M3 layout is going to be different then the 91 318, if I remember I can make a photocopy/scan of my manual tomorrow and get you those pages.
