mtr Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Howdy folks, long time lurker first time poster! After spending the better part of a week trying to nut out an electrical problem with my 2013 280i, I have hit a wall. I was wondering whether some kind soul might have a copy of the service manual (or more specifically the wiring diagram) they could either send me, or point me in the direction for a legit download? I have tried downloading it from http://www.ossausa.c...arts/tech-tips/ but the file is damaged, and it now appears the site is down... Most of the referenced links in other threads to the ossa canada site no longer work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 What is the specific issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) I have downloaded the file with no issues. I could send it to you, or look up something. What is the problem?

mtr Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 VERY short version. I installed the es9v and the bike was starting first kick cold perfectly. After the 4th kick, the switch no longer turned the headlight on. I checked every part of the es9v loom and the switch still activates the battery terminals. I took the loom out of the circuit, the bike still starts and the headlight works when running. Unfortunately the fan no longer kicks in when running. I ran 12v to the fan and it works, shorted the temp sensor when the bike was running which activated the fan, and removed the temp sensor, boiled it in apot and watched the resistance go from 3.1 KOhms down to 200 ohms. While testing (during which time the bike remained a pig to start cold), the kill switch decided to pack it in. It hesitated a couple of prior times when turning off before simply not working at all. This leads me to conclude (with my somewhat limited understanding) that there is a faulty/shorted earth somewhere. It is now at the dealer who have always bent over backwards to help me since I am so new at trials, but I would have liked to figure it out myself... Thanks for any help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialtrial Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Does this mean a service manual does not exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 There is a service manual which is different than the owners manual you get with a new bike, it is much more detailed in every aspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nechakoriver Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I was able to view the file on the Ossa USA site so it seems that the link has been fixed. http://www.ossausa.c...arts/tech-tips/ If anybody is still having trouble viewing the file, I've got a saved copy that I can email if needed.

trialtrial Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Excellent thanks. My explorer di not come with a service manual when new - this will help until I can get one from the distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
