What's up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 92 325i (Manual) and the the problem is:
When the car is on, my power mirrors don't work, my power windows don't go down and my sunroof doesn't open. Also my AC blower doesn't work. I mean when I turn it on, the blower doesn't come on.
Strangly though, My headlights, tail lights, horn, gauges (speedo, tach, oil, temp,) all work
I plan to check all the fuses, but I doubt that's the problem.
Any advice on what I should check after the fuses.....
Thanks
Eric

when you turn the key to start the car does it spring back into "on" when the car starts. I mean when you start the car and let go of the key, does it spring back to the notch just before "start"?

does that make sense? It could be sticking and the car could be thinking that it is still trying to start. All of these things are temporarily disengaged (unusable) while the car is being started.

if it is not sticking maybe your ignition switch itself is going bad.
