Wiring VSS

[driftingminor913]

would not wiring the VSS to the back of the cluster throw a check engine light?
if so how do you go about wiring it in...through the connectors to the back of the cluster?

[Beej '86 325es]

No. I just hooked mine up a couple of months ago...no codes.

It depends on what engine/chassis you have if you have to tie into the cluster. Late model 325i's are wired in through the C101.

I have a 90 325i with a 94 m50Tu

[trackjunkie21]

connect pin 14 on the c101 to pin 14 on the x20.

Cant figure out how to wire up the wire from the back of my cluster to the the connector? i took apart my cluster and i have no idea about what wire to splice off of or anything. can anyone provide me pictures or detailed description,

My VSS is killing me with this 3500 rev limiter

With your chassis, you shouldn't even be touching the back of your cluster.

connect pin 14 on the c101 to pin 14 on the x20.

it's so easy it hurts..

I know right, even though I made you fix my adapter

[nando]

what, you don't like shorting 12v to ground? :p

I think I'm confused now

[nando]

that's how your adapter was originally wired. pin 20 is 12v on many E30s, and it was wired to ground on the oil level sensor.

No VSS should throw code 73 (on a M50NV 402 DME). Not sure if this will trip the CEL though.

[driftingminor913]

So basically just pull the pins out all together and spike them into each other and that's it? Or you run a wire....to... Them? Sorry I'm a true dipshit when it comes to wiring

[nando]

there are pins that connect together. you need a male pin to wire on your E36 harness to plug into the E30's C101 connector.

[driftingminor913]

this what im looking at, so do i need to remove a pin out of the connector and put different conectors on em? (female&male)?
