Hi,

Anybody knows what's the part number of a E36 BMW 328i aircon compressor?and part number of a Brake light Switch?
Thanks in Advance.

zeaq,

P.s. I did a search but it didn't help much.

A/C compressor 64528390741, double check with your vin#, and
brake light swith 2 pole 61318360420 or 4 pole 61318360417, best to pull out the
old one and look at the numbers off of it, hope this helps.

Thanks.

My dad is currently in the Middle east.I'm asking him to buy these parts in Dubai where it is cheaper.So giving him the vin# is enough?or must be both vin# and parts#?

Note-I don't really dare to open up the dash to check the "brake switch" part number.
Thanks again in advance

I've been told, if you have cruise control, four wires, if not, two wires. It would be best to give both part # and vin # to avoid any confusion.

I post my sterring wheel pics.I'm not sure about cruise control here.

On my car, the cruise control is on a stalk, on the right side of the steering column, below the windshield wiper stalk.

You don't have to "open" the dash to find the switch. There is a panel on the bottom of the dash under the steering wheel. It's held on with about four screws. Take the panel out, look under the dash and the switch is right above and touching the brake pedal. Look and see how many wires are on it. Good luck.

If you have the full indash computer, then you need the 4 wire. The extra wires are for the check control system.
