Pretty easy and
cheap fix, here’s a pic of the part. Part cost me $20.10 with BMW CCA
discount: |
|
Tools required are 2
hands and a 5mm Allen wrench: |
|
Remove the cover on
the fuse box located on the passenger side of the engine compartment: |
|
Removed, note you
do not need to totally remove the screws: |
|
Cover removed and
here is what you see, the arrow shows the DME [silver box]: |
|
This is what we are
replacing: |
|
Now, if you are
just changing the relay there is no need to remove all this stuff. I
simply slid out the DME. I did not remove any of the plugs: |
|
Set the DME aside
like so: |
|
Now that it is
opened up here’s a better pic of what we are replacing? Simply pull
up on the old relay, when installing the new relay the part number
faces the firewall: |
|
Put the new one in,
slide the DME back in place: |
|
Put the cover back
on, tighten the screws and you’re done:
Start the car, turn on the wipers and
watch them return to the “Home” position every time!!!!!! |
