: : Hy, : : I recently purchased a 1981 528i that is in (almost) : : immaculate shape (I had to give the previous owner : : visitation rights). : : So what's the problem? The other day I turned off : : the engine, pulled out the keys, but the radio kept : : playin. Also the clock stayed lit and I found that : : the window wipers also WOULD function. In addition : : the steering wheel would NOT lock. : : The result is that the battery only has about 30 : : minutes till I have to get my girlfriend to get out : : and push. : : She has stopped working out now, but I would : : rather spend more time with the car alone. : : So... where on the column (?) might be the problem? : : Ignition switch? Relay? Girlfriend? Any suggestions? : : In addition the electric windows will NOT roll down. : : Thank you for your time.... SPUII@cts.com : Sounds like the power sharing relay (in fuse box) is stuck on. Either it's bad, bad ignition switch or pinched wire...? Try switching the relay with high beam relay to test (don't recommend horn relay <-; ). : Peter
