wire for service indicator reset

[deane30 30]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering what type of wire you use to reset the service indicator lights on a facelift e30.

I have a run down of how to do it just not what type of wire and/or fuse to use.

Advice appreciated.

Thanks

I have one I just made up from some standard wire with a fuse in the middle and male bullet connectors on the ends. can provide a pic tmoro if you wish

Edit: Can tell you what gauge the wire is and the ampage on the fuse tmoro as well if thats what you need.

Cheers

Wire size doesn't matter - a single strand or a nail - all it needs is to conduct from one end to other.

Regardless of size - if you get it wrong with connection you stand to cause damage.

A 1 amp fuse is as high as you want to go - will give some protection but no guarantee if incorrectly connected.
