please help.... having spent most of friday trying to figure the mess of wiring that I found behind the driver's door trim thanks to some aftermarket "mods" on my new C, I have a question. Can someone tell me how many wires should be going to each window switch? Mine seem to have six, but the circuit diagram I have suggests you only need five. Of the six, two go to the motor, two seem to be returns (don't see why I need two), and two seem to be feeds (one for motor, one for light). I am suffering from a previous owner's "fix" of the windows, I have three different window switches, and a mess of wiring to boot. My passenger window doesn't move, from either switch, which is why I originally started investigating this one... cheers, deag.

I'm looking into getting a manual, and was looking for recommendations for either bentley or porter manuals... or any other I've missed. Any thoughts? deag.

so is there any way of telling which Cs went without, and which did? Can you tell from a VIN what the original spec was?

so were there ever any corrados built without a sun roof?

I don't think it's an aftermarket fit, they're made by webasto (I've since learned). I think I've just the wrong manual, because all the roof trim seems to fit. Although when I removed the interior light and popped the front headliner down, I noticed a relay at the front of the sun-roof, which had a BMW logo. So maybe it is afterall. As for pics, yes, soon as I get my digital camera. but not for a week or two. I've lots of other issues to wok in the meantime... :wink: deag.

I'm in a similar boat, just got a 16v C, 1990 (my first corrado :!: ). In the driver's manual it mentioned popping out the light cluster (as did kevhaywire), and then the rest of the panel. Only, well, there's no panel there. The light cluster is the only panel, apart from the main roof lining. Do I have to remove the entire roof lining, or have I missed something obvious? Like a fuse (checked all them, they look ok) I've noticed to the rear of the roof lining there's a small panel with hollandia sunroof written on it, which can be removed. I though this might be a crank handle point, but it's just appears to be a threaded bolt, no way of engaging from below. I know this can't be too big a deal! Any advice appreciated... :lol: deag.
