Finally got it fitted tried it out and no go :'( as I see it it can only be, stalk, unit or wiring or is there anything else, cant find anyone who will hang on the bonnet and watch to see what happens ;D
-

-
2.0L and yes 4 pin fitted when I checked it
-

-

Double check it actually is 4 pin, you need to unplug it to check.
-
task for tommorow then confess I looked at it and saw 4 wires leading away and thought one job less

Checked today def a 4 pin switch (brake), checked the plug and noticed a red lead or seems to be cut level with the plug top, traced back in the loom but no red lead, so any other thoughts please.

Must confess I did not unplug it, so even though there are 4 wires coming from the base the switch might not be 4 pin, have I understood you correctly? the bit about the red wire is not right it is a blanking pin found it on 2 more cars today. will wait to see what you say before moving on.

To be honest I follwed the instruction on the "how to" page where it said "if it looks like this leave it alone" mine does so I did :'(

Iirc I sent you a 4 pin switch quite a while ago Bob,so if it transpires your isnt you could try that one. :y

It`s a 4-pin then Bob. Standard 2-pin dosen`t have the cylinder. Can`t rule out the cruise unit but stalk would be a strong probability
-
got another unit but stalk might be next step, its just making sure that it works, this is som uch fun ;D ABS yes still got it might change anyway just eliminate.
-
I would check the buttons on the stalk usng a multi-meter - I have about 3 or 4 that are all faulty on one button or another.

Any chance you could give quick run down on the process, have multi meter

Out of interest looking at 8 scrap Omegas 2 items semed to be popular, light switch units and cruise stalks. new stalk not as bad as I thought £56.76 all in, but would like to confim it is u/s first, the previous post about having 3 that have faulty switches makes me think that could be it.
-
The cruise buttons can be tested from the the 4-pin plug on the end of the additional "fly lead".
The plain black wire is the common and the other three are the signal wires. Use your voltmeter in resistance or diode mode and test between the black wire and each of the others in turn (pressing the buttons to check that one of them completes the circuit).
It's usually the "I" button that's dead.

A quick search on ebay for part number 9181011 reveals several new ones for sale around the £25 mark - I presume yours is petrol cos the BMW 2.5 TD engine may require a different part.

Thanks Rob for that. Done a check and to complete the circuit I had to press I % R thta gave a readin but O as soon as the probe touched gave a reading, now to me whos vast amount of elecronic knowledge can be written on a postage stamp indicates thta it is always off thus not allowing the system to be on. Thoughts please.
