A new episode of: Guess that plug!

[nl328i]

Hey guys,

Can anyone identify this plug that is sprouting off my e30 wiring harness? It comes off a 1990 325i auto touring originally from Japan (euro spec). Just want to make sure nothing major is missed in the re-wiring of the s50 harness. Its a 12 pin rectangular plug that is close to the ECU plug in.

[nl328i]

Nothing? :(

[nl328i]

A tad off-putting that no one has seen this before! Haha. Anyone?

[GunMetalGrey]

It looks exactly like the early model 318 body to engine harness plug

[nl328i]

Well then. Why the hell is that on a late model 325i harness? Haha

[nismoman]

i dont remember that plug at all when i did my swap , nor do i remember that plug in any of the other swaps ive done

Looks like a plug used for the Idle control unit. If youre S50 swapping you wont need it.

Cheers!

Why would the idle control unit be next to the ecu?

Trust me, i know this shit.

^Like i said :P
but thats not that plug at all.

Possibly a control module plug for some uncommon option.. like adjustable headlights etc?

[Deadskittles]

Well regardless of what it is I think the conclusion of the thread is that its probably not necessary.

[nl328i]

Thanks for all the input guys.

The car does have the adjustable headlights option.
