Starter (thin) on x20. Where does it go?

[rhE-30]

On the x20 pin 15 is the starter thin, I've read that is has to be wired individually, where to?

The c101 plug on my 85 318i has 7 wires.

Pin#
1 Alternator Blue
4 Coolant Temp switch
6 Idle Speed Control
7 Fuel pump Relay
8 Starter
10 Ignition
16 Oil pressure switch
17 Service interval


This is my first swap btw.

nope.

[rhE-30]

hmm.. nope what? Are my pins wrong? I used the ETM for my car to find them. Don't connect it anywhere?, it's a dumb question?

Will using an 'add-a-circuit' and five amp fuse work? In the 93' 325is Etm the 'start' fuse is 5amp. I was thinking I could just use an empty slot in the fuse box.

nope meaning you dont need it. Its for the unloader relay on late E30s/E36s. Which you dont have (or do have but its not run through the starter)

Thank you sir. I'll think mmw when Im ready for the harness covers
