E30 central locking issues

Image
Everybody who have a BMW E30 knows that it's a miracle to have a fully working central locking. But the most of us dont have it fully working, or not working at all. I will describe the most common issues of the central locking and how to fix them, as i build a fully functional central locking from the ashes. First of all, i want to describe you the parts of the central locking system and what is the purpose of each one of them. Introduction 1. CLCU (Central locking control unit) This is the "brain" of the central locking system. It is located behind the kick panel on the drivers side of the car (depends on the country). It is mounted on a metal plate that holds it still to the chassis as inside the CU there is a system that controls the central locking in case of crash (it automatically unlocks the whole car in case of impact). Thats the reason that the CU must remain tight at its specific place. 2. Central locking actuators This is the

DIY Simple keyless entry installation for E30

Hi guys, today i'm going to explain to you how can you install keyless entry system to your E30 by yourself! You will need: - Keyless entry system - Wire cutters - Electrical tape - Knife - Solder and soldering iron. How it's done: Basically, all that stuff on the image is the little f-ker called keyless entry system. It's a bunch of wires, a module and two remote controllers. I found the easiest place to install this on my touring in the trunk. Anyways, the wires are the same for coupes/sedans/tourings/verts, except the power source (you can use your trunk dome light for touring, the power antenna for the rest of the models). I suppose that you can dissasemble the trim in your trunk to work all the way down to the wires for the central locking actuator and i'm not going to explain how do you do this. After doing it, loose the screws for the central locking actuator (CLA) and twist it a bit to set it free from the lock shaft. You will end up wi

E36 Coupe electrical windows common issues.

Hi there! What a beautiful night - breezy and chilly. I want to introduce you now the most common issues with the power windows of a BMW E36 Coupe. Since the Coupes have the auto up-down windows when opening or closing the door, there are several issues with the power windows of the Coupes. 1) Window do not go up or down when opening or closing the door. As you know, your window should roll down when opening the door. Also it should roll back up when the door is closed. This function is operated by a little button inside the door lock-to-chassis mecanism. In other words... this: [img]http://www.unofficialbmw.com/images/jambswitch-1.jpg[/img] The little switch is plastic and it's worn off by the years of service. The best solution is to buy a replacement part and replace it. If you do not want to spend a fortune for a little part like this there are several cheaper solutions. - You can apply glue on top of the switch, for example Poxipol or other plastic-type glues. The p
