    help with id on a few connectors on my harness

    i have an obd1 e36 325 automatic wiring harness that i'm using in my swap. there are three connectors i am having a hard time identifying

    1. female connector with brn/yellow wire and brn/violet wire
    2. female connector brn/gry wire
    3. female connector with black wire and yellow wire. this one is by the O2 sensor plug

    the only sensors on the engine i haven't identified a connector on the harness for yet are the second coolant temp sensor and the oil pressor sensor on the oil filter housing.
    thanks for any help you can give.

      How many pins are each? 2 or 3 pin wide?

      1) Oil sensor, if it's a 2 pin wide, plugs into the back of the oil filter housing. - 99% Sure.

      I'd know the other two if I was home, or had the E36 Bentley in front of me. Might be on here if you search through a few pages... It's easiest if you read the wiring diagram in the E36 Bentley, so you can recheck any you aren't sure about. I have pulled my M50 3 times in the past 2 weeks, I labaled my sensors with tape the 2nd and 3rd times.

      The temp sensor behind the first (closer to the back of the block) - (the 2 right next to each other) I thought had to be changed? I believe the plug that goes to it only has 1 wire. And my sensor for it only has 1 pin. If that makes sense.

          I think (1) is coolant temp to instrument cluster, (2) is oil pressure (should be brn/white), (3) is probably reverse light switch. My wiring spreadsheet might help you a little more:

              thanks guys
              #1 is the for the coolant sensor for the dash gauge
              #2 is for the oil pressure sensor
              and based on the responses, #3 is the reverse light switch.
