Okay back to topic, Where's the OBC in a 325e, I'm not understanding something here. I guess I'm a noob.

ok..I checked all the fuses and they are all fine....So...idk what is wrong. The trunk light isnt working and nothing shows up on the screen..Are the two connected somehow in the wiring? I am thinking at this point that somehow when the trunk light wuit working it blew out the obc...and the trunk light. The chiltons book I have is crap..it doesnt show for the any e30..even though it says it on the cover...From that book all I can figure out is that maybe the hazard lights are on the same fuse..but they still work. Maybe...thers an inline fuse somewhere that went out..any other ideas? btw I agree...coke is better hmm..it says beer when I put that..oh well

try pulling it out and checking the connection to the OBC.

bt the OBC is in the dash..it diplays you average MPG, MPH and other things depending on what year you car is.


as for the pepsi thing...I like pepsi cause i used to live by the plant...so most stores in the area had pepsi. But i must say Coke is good with a bigmac meal at Mc Donalds.

Hey, I havnt been able to get on for the last few days..but anyways, I unconnected it then reconnected it and it still doesn't work...I don;t really want to take it apart or anything so I'l porbbaly end up just buying a new one eventually..I guess it isn't that big of deal since I would mainly use it for the clock and I have a radio in it now...

Hmm recently mine didn't work, but it was due to a loose connection. Not too sure man, if the tach is connected to the obc and that fuse was fine maybe the obc just finally burnt itself out, and stopped working. There might be some used ones for sale on ebay, or bimmerforums.com

Ok...So today my sister needed to borrow my car since there is some new law where you get arrested and your car inpounded if you drive with a suspended license in AZ..She couldn't get to the inpound yard before they closed but anyways...I went with her to phoenix and halfway balk to tucson. When we were driving out of phoenix there was a ding so we looked around to see what it was and the OBC was working again..I dont know if the trunk light is or not since I didnt have time to look when she dropped me off...I will have to look when I get the car back..What do you guys think it was? Maybe a loose wire somewhere in the circuit...
