" A few things on my project 81 320i don't work electrically. Dash lights, blinkers and the electric mirror. I have both side mirrors but only one control. Does the control only control the passenger side mirror? Or how do I switch between them if both.
Does all these items share the same fuse or circuit?
Where is the blinker box located?
Enquiring minds want to know!

Peter , the little switch in the mirror control knob housing is what switches from left to right .
If the pass. side doesn't respond it is more likely the switch itself as opposed to the mirror .
The blinker relay is under the steering column .
If you can't hear it clicking on and off them check this first .
If it blinks initially then stops it is a bulb most likely .
If it doesn't begin to click then it is the switch itself .
The switch is incorporated into the stalk base .
Its under the steering column .
It is made to be non-serviceable but you can drill out the rivets and work on it if you are familiar with electrics .
I also have a spare stalk that works .
The dash lights tend to burn out eventually .
Not all at once though , there are three of them above the instrument cluster .
To change the bulbs it is not necessary to remove the wheel but it sure makes things a lot simpler .
