Not another wiring harness thread! (c101)

[maneeno325e]

Currently converting my engine harness which has a late model c101 on it from the previous owner, to a early model c101.

got everything on the early model square c101 hooked up except i have a few wires left over on my late model c101

wires are: pin 14 - black/white - ??
Pin 15 -green/black - ??
Pin 16 - white/black - diagnosis for airbag

my etm tells me what pin 16 is but not the other two. early models have no airbags so i guess im just blocking this wire off. how about the other two? my motors from an e34, or atleast my wiring harness is if that helps any.

I think pin 14 is the oil level and 15 is for the starter but the early models did not have this wire, they only had a three wire starter. i believe it is some kind of ground or something?! http://www.akgmotorsport.com/e30convpins.html

so will my check panel be constantly illuminated for oil level if i dont use pin 14?

(may not be helpful)

In the E36 cars at least the green/black is the wire for the unloader relay
Black/White would be a speed signal.

from what ive seen, wiring color doesnt really mean shit haha, even from e30 to e30 theyre all different.

bingo

wires are: pin 14 - black/white - VSS
Pin 15 -green/black - Starter Unloader Trigger

Nice to be right once and a while!

Thanks for confirmation.

[maneeno325e]

where does the VSS wire hook up on an early model then? i dont believe i have any other wires left in my early harness. and what the hell is a starter unloader trigger?

[328ijunkie]

Back of cluster.
And on an early model, unloader trigger is nothing for you to worry about.

thanks a million man, really appreciate it. is the back of the cluster labele for where the vss connects? also do you suggest extending the wire in order for it to reach?

[328ijunkie]

No label. I use the CC plug on my customers harnesses.

[maneeno325e]

thanks man, for your help ill definitely buy my e30 m3 wiring cover from you! cc plug = cruise control correct?

[328ijunkie]

Correct :D
