Quick question -

Just did the retrofit blade fuse project yesterday. Everything works properly except fuse #10

When I use my left blinker, the front bumper marker doesn’t illuminate, and it throws a check light on my check panel for rear license plate lights and rear lights, although they function just fine. Only the front turn signal marker doesn’t operate. I checked the bulb and also the wiring. Bulb is good. Wiring I’ve checked twice, everything is back where it was originally.

Also the LED on fuse 10 blinks on and off with the rhythm of the turn signal

Fuse 11 is for the blinkers, not fuse 10 (various marker lights). Something got plugged in wrong, having the LED blink on and off is a new one. Can you email us (or post here) some pictures of the wiring inside your fuse box? I'm looking at the ETM and it's not immediately obvious what could cause that.

Turns out everything was wired correctly, the bulbs tested good, but after replacing the turn signal bulbs with new ones, everything works properly.

Dang I was just a few weeks late to order the spare fuse box! Price is good for those, I spent $50 on a replacement bullet style aux fuse box just a few weeks ago. Nice work.

Weird solution but glad it's resolved!
Thanks for the positive comments

We have color cards for E28s now! They are a huge help when installing fuse box kits, I was able to do 90% of a box without needing to look at photos. Euro on one side, US on the other. Made out of temperature resistant materials, and colors were picked to match how the wire colors usually fade.



Currently these are for E28s only, we're looking into the other models that the E28 kit works with but there's a significant number of variations.

16 USD, available here if you're looking for some extra help on an upcoming kit install.
