Sorry...thought your 1600 body came with only 6 fuses.

Here's some help with the 12-fuse... almost the same, but twice as fun!

These sketches are for the later square-light cars, so the color coding or fuse numbers might be different, but the circuit is mostly universal.

Cheers,

John

 

 

Not really sure on what I have, let's see together. That's mainly what I am here for as a Solex.... Hihihih

I installed one of these harnesses in my 1970 BMW 1600 to solve the relay problem for my headlights.  Inexpensive and well made.  Found in on Amazon - Universal H4 9003 Relay Harness Conversion kit Complete with Ceramic Sockets H6054 H5054 H6054LL 6014 6052 6053.  Search for it on Amazon.

They sure seem better than what I have at the moment...

I'll take better pictures so you guys can see what I have in concrete.

Maybe we have a loose cannon, lol.

72s are 12 fuse cars I think....?

 

Cheers,

They are. At least mine is. Hi hi hi.

I hope I wont be ostracised... 😁

There is a catch on my '72, it has square tail lights. I guess someone had tunning in mind.

So nice to be here, feeling most welcome.


What I meant is direct diferences to the switch itself, not the wiring.

For now anyway...Clean up the plus cable connections at the front bulkhead  then treat it with some deoixidant reassemble and test. Also inspect the connections at the positive terminal at battery and while you are at it service the battery terminals clean positive and ground points. Check for proper connections and mechanical operation at your switch gear.

I plan to sort this for good in one shot. If there is nothing wrong with the switch. In any case I have a replacement switch lined up.

Are the 72 similar to the 74?

Oh God, let it happen.

But, this is the way to go. I need to keep this car, low budget, but as reliable as possible.

Let's see what I dig at local suppliers.

I need EU suppliers though. I am Portugal based.

Happy Hollidays all. I have a path to go on now, thanks!

I really am at the right place, thanks FAMILY. 

I plan to keep the old instalation, will that prove to be a challenge with multiple failures?

💗

Gimme gimme. 

Gorgeous sight. I hope my electrician is able to sort it out. So the pointers for me to give him is to feed the light relays in the lighting system? I'm clueless in terms of electricity. I read people also use electronic relays for the turn signals, and it seems sencible enough for a trained electrician.


But, will that fix my lights issue? Or could it be the switch is also not ok?

I plan to use the car as a driver.

Thanks guys!

How about the 72 cars, are they relayed?

Is it worth removing the old relays and using new generic ones?

I saw a Hella harness kit, what do you feel abou this?

As far as I know, the original instalation does not have a relay for the high beam, am I correct? My ride is a 72.
