Headlights and Fuses #9, 10 and 11 --> Questions


2002Monster

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I've looked through the search and found that for 1974, the headlights do not come on when the key is out of the ignition....you can pull the switch and only the parking lights come on....perfect....

Okay, so when I turn the key, fuses #9, 10 and 11 should be electrified/hot and I should be able to get a voltage on my voltmeter by touching the prongs on the fuse and to the ground......

I get nothing on fuses 9, 10 or 11 when the key is turned to "run"...

My headlights do not work and all of the relays are new....I pull the switch and I can hear the relay click, but no headlights....

I'm also not getting any voltage to my +ve side of the coil....

Please understand that I hand assembled the whole car, and I put everything back together.....

The only conclusion I can draw is that I quite possibly could have mixed up the multiple wires that go the steering column and connect to the ignition switch....but I used a surrogate ignition switch to make sure I was putting the wires back correctly.

When the battery is connected and the key is out of the ignition, the red chargin light is illuminated....when I turn the key to the first position, the red charging light goes out....when I turn the key to the next position, the horn, wipers, cluster lights, gas gauge, heater blower, etc, work correctly....then I can turn the key once more and the engine turns over....

The car doesn't start, and while everything is on, I check fuse #9, 10 and 11, and there is no voltage....

Would anybody like to take a nice trip to the great state of Michigan and help me fix my electrical gremlins? or better yet, provide me with a picture/schematic of the ignition switch prongs and what wire goes where?

Thanks....sorry for being such a long post.

Looks like you have two wires switched. Term 15 should have the green wires, term R should have a black wire.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
