Default How to fix a 1985 928S

Step one: Find a good used 928 that a lot of things don't work on
Step two: educate yourself on the wiring diagrams
Step three: Replace all the relays and watch everything come back to life!!

I have been trying to fix my 928 and figuring out how everything works. I replaced all of the intake hoses and injectors so the car runs fairly well. I made a list of all the things that don't work in the car and every week try to learn how the device, ie: fog lights, fresh air fan, etc. work and than attempt to fix it.
As I track down the problems I always end up at a relay (the fog lights have a relay that powers a relay ). I am now replacing all the relays in the car and discovering what really doesn't work. God how I love this car.
