The only issue may be getting the cables to the terminals as BMW evidently pinches pennies by not making those cables even 1mm longer than necessary to get them on the terminals. I had a similar no-start on my 94 325ic a while back, everything checked out per Bentley but it wouldn't start, even with a jump. I got to the point you're at and I even pulled out the DME and opened it up to look for anything cooked or broken solder joints etc. Eventually I tried hooking up the battery from my other car and it fired right up, I guess the battery had an internal short or something. Bought a new battery for it and no problems since (well, no starting problems anyway...)

As the Bentley manual instructs, I jumpered the low-speed connections in the socket that attaches to the thermostat and the fan came on. I then tried the high-speed connections, and the fan didn't move, but I could hear the relay clicking. I even swapped the fan relays in various configurations with others of the same part number and checked all four fuses mentioned by Bentley, just to be thorough. The last thing mentioned in the manual is the resistor attached to the fan, which I don't want to pull out of there until I have a better idea of whether or not it's the culprit. Anyone?

However, thinking in terms of the circuit, a resistor would be used to reduce current, thus causing the fan to run at a lower speed. As you noted, the low speed works, but the high speed is broken. Since the relay seems to be working, perhaps the wiring back from the relay to the fan has a short or is broken somewhere. Since I'm foggy on details, there was a low speed/high speed production change in some of the later models which used a combination lo and hi speed switch, as opposed to two separate switches in the earlier models. Perhaps the high speed switch is shot, or the high speed circuit of the combination switch, whichever one you have. Other than that, AFAIK, the resistor is about the only other thing that could be wrong. The resistor isn't a huge pain to get out, two screws. I vaguely recall reading the manual about this a while back and it saying to remove the bumper valance, but I don't know if that's really necessary.

The low speed runs through fuse 3 (15A). The high speed through fuse 18 (30A). Also, just because the relay clicks, doesn't mean the contacts are good.

I meant the 3-prong thing that sticks out on the side of the radiator, near the top. Thanks.

I was rolling the the interstate today in my new-to-me 74 Pontiac convertible and a mouse climbed out of the defroster vent to enjoy the morning breeze. Before I could pull over and let him off (or maybe teach him to fly :^)) he went back down the vent. I would like to apply some repellant to chase him and any others off. Car does not smell like it has a mouse problem, so he may have just moved in. Anyone seen any products that work? OBMWC - The M3 gets a day off when the Pontiac sees duty, and is therefore also a potential mouse risk...
