Arturo, lo siento pero yo no intiendo Español bien.

Arturo, estes palabras son por lectores de Ingles. (This is for English readers.)
Oh, not nice ibew595. We're going to have to send you to sensitivity training. :-)

He apologizes for his spanish only and my spanish is limited but he's asking something about his dashboard lights. I think he's saying that all of his dashboard lights are out except the radio, computer, the A/A(?),... I'm not sure, I may have it backwards. I'm going to quiz him in baby language. He says only the "position lights" work OK. What could that mean? Also, he must have a newer car since "ordenator" translates to a computer.

?Arturo, que ano es su automovile?
Primero, mira a su fusible eléctrico.
También, repéteme por favor:
?Su luces de radio función bien o no función bien?
?Su luces de ordenador función bien o no función bien?
Yo no intiendo A/A.
?las luces de posicion? Que son? ?función bien?

hola, Tomas muchas gracias por tu cortesia y saber comprender a alguien que le cuesta trabajo entenderse en un idioma que desconoce, pero que gracias a los traductores podemos ir comprendiendo algo, ahora claro siempre hay algun gracioso que piensa que todo el mundo es como el mismo, y se equivoca, alguna buena persona como tu...Tomas que quiere ayudar al projimo..por todo eso..GRACIAS....
Te dire que ya he conseguido arreglar el problema que tenia, era un cablecito detras del radio que estaba haciendo contacto y esto anulaba toda iluminacion del frente.Que pena que yo no entienda el idioma tuyo y que tu tampoco el mio, pero eres esa persona que me encantaria estar hablando mucho tiempo seguido...
de todas formas si logras interpretarlo correctamente estaria encantado de poder seguir hablando contigo mucho tiempo.
muchos saludos y hasta siempre .....
Arturo... tu amigo.

18*23*26*41*44*
My parole agent tried that on me...so I killed him.
Anyway the number above are the fuses for the light module,instrument cluster and whatever.
This is for a 1999 to 2001 740i/iL and 750iL
Look at fuses 18,23,41,44

[ibew595]

Radio fuses 46 and 69

I am sensitive... 3 seconds with my wife and I am done

Arturo: De nada y yo voy a mandar email.

ibew595: Thanks for the work of looking up those fuse numbers. I told him in my first reply to check his fuses (fusible eléctrico) but I had no clue as to which numbers since my documentation is for '88-'94 BMWs. Also, I'm not sure if he checked or not.

ibew595, redhed, others: I can decipher that HE FIXED THE PROBLEM! The problem (el problema que tenia) was that a small cable (un cablecito) behind (detras) the radio was shorted to ground (estaba haciendo contacto) and this made all of the lights in the front (toda iluminacion del frente) not to work (anulba-guessing that it's light null).
The rest of the text is thanking me (Tomas=Tom) and everyone (todo el mundo=all the world) for helping him in a language that we don't know very well. He adds that he'd be happy to talk many times in the future, even if all we have are those automated translators, and he leaves his email address.

Ahhhh, another problem bites the dust :-)

Caiser: Gracias por ser paciente. Usted es muy bueno y gracioso.
