    half finished wiring

    I picked up this 87 325i for next to nothing because the previous owner said it wouldn't start. It's not getting any spark and I'm betting it's the half-assed wiring under the dash if you know what anything is lemme know. It's been pretty well gutted, no window motors, power locks, heater, stereo. It has the gauge cluster connected, ecu, box above ecu, little emergency light cluster windshield wipers, turn signals and backup switch.

    Two random green plugs

    Update, so I dont care about the abs connector, the headlight switch just had the brown ground wire cut so no problem, I still don't know about the green connectors, still won't start and I think it has something to do with these two wires.

    These red and green wires come from the fuse box, probably from the ignition switch. If anyone can just look and tell me where they go to in their car it save me some headache.
