"1994 BMW E36 Coupe: Need To Know Where is The Wiper Relay Located"

1994 BMW E36 Coupe Front Look

Where is Wiper Relay in BMW E36 coupe 1994? I’ve got trouble finding it. Been searching around and on some websites it says it’s behind glove compartment, on others – that it’s under the steering wheel, so I’ve checked both and still couldn’t find it. The other thing is, they say that it’s position may vary (depends on model and year). Anyone knows where is that wiper relay in BMW E36 coupe 1994? My wipers are dead, which makes it hard to drive in London, you know.

Answer: I think the relays are in the fuse box, under the bonnet. but I would check the fuse first before swapping relays. a Haynes manual will tell you. also the BMW TIS Cd’s which can be bought on eBay for cheap. You want to be sure you don’t have a dead wiper motor, you can check for power with a multimeter at the motor terminals first, (turn the wipers on obviously) this way you know the power is making it this far and thus the motor is dead. You can work your way back from there to find the fault before buying random replacement parts.
