    e36 not starting, suspect relay problem

    Hi, i'm having troubles since yesterday after i tried to replace the hazard lights relay with other one (the seller sold me the wrong one) and it burned up something in the relay/fuse table, direction lights died and the car worked fine untill i got home where in the travel the 4th gear started to give some troubles (no power) and after arriving home and turning it on again it didnt worked and, the lights didnt go off, stayed on all the time and i had to disconnect the battery, cant explain very much the problem but this is for now, i'm having suspects its the motronic relay, also, the sensors aint working, no rpm, thermostat or fuel gauge, nothing but the console lights.

    Any toughts?

    BTW i'm new here, planning to stay for a long time haha

    You can start by Checking all of the fuses in the under hood fuse box located in the driver side engine compartment behind the strut tower.
