I'd definitely try pressing it when you're going 88 mph. ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HalfJobHarry 106 Report post Posted August 24, 2020 I had the exact same kind of black rocker switch in my 135i. In my case it was wired to a garage door remote/sender mounted above the rear view mirror. Was actually a very tidy install (apart from the fact whoever installed it ran a +ve AND GND ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BATTERY, rather than taking a feed from elsewhere. The +ve ..maybe I can understand...by why run a GND all the way back to the battery?? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
