Project Big Six-y: 1991 BMW 535i/5

[Jake]

Update... I knew the fuse was good, as the same fuse controls my power mirrors, and they still worked. So, I took the console apart and jumped the connector. Lights both work when jumped. I have a new connector on order now ($6, thanks Pelican Parts) and it should be here Monday, which is the first chance I'll have to install things anyway.

Been looking at wheels and tires, but I think my bank account could use a rest for a few weeks at least...

What made you say "Must be the connector" rather then "Must be the switch" ? Sounds to me (not being able to see it obviously) like you determined the switch was bad with that test. Was the connector damaged?

Oops, bad wording on my part. I really meant switch. Both halves of the connector look good and wiring going to the switch looks good as well. I jumped things where the connector comes apart. From there, side 'A' goes to the trunk and side 'B' goes to the busted switch.

Make better sense now?
