What do these have in common. e34 Power Window, Radio, Central Locking, Wipers ?

[keray]

I am having a strange electrical problem. My ower windowscentral lockingelectric seatswipers and the radio is not functioning. I have checked the fuses they are fine, everything else is fine. I was playing around with the wires and fuse box and all the above were working properly for a little while and then back again. Does anyone know what is the common point for all the systems above ? I suspect it is probably a relay or something but not sure the exact one. Hope one of you sifus can figure this out. Thanks.

Yup systoms of main fusible link. Check the fuse by removing the nuts and taking out the fuse coz the crack normally appears under the nut so visually they look fine but once you remove them you'll see its cracked or broken. See the following link on where the fusible link is and how to remove.

Thanks ehoe & skinhead, you guys absolutely correct, found that the fusible link was broken right in the middle, replaced it and it is working fine now.
