Wiring - s50 into e30

[jahnaboi]

c101 = e30 plug

x20 = e36 plug

Also, so far it seems that you've connected by color code and not by function. Someone should really check his layout. When I have time (been busy) I'll try.

thanks for clearing that up..... the pics are how my wiring was b4, it worked fine, now i need to know how to connect the x20 to my harness

Since you stated in your first post that the wires coming out of your fuse box have been cut, there really is nobody that will be able to help you. You are going to need to sit down with some wiring diagrams and figure out what wire is what. It will be a PITA but it is something that can only be done with the car in front of you....there will be no shortcuts.

Hmmm... Any reason for spl;icing in the fusebox? The engine harness is self-contained. All you need is a source for 12v which is already in the harness and needs to be connected to the battery/starter's pole. All you havr yo do is to interface the round connector (from the e36 harness) to the C101 from the e30 chassis. The easy way is to simplt fabricate an intermediate harness with two rounds connectors. That leaves both main harnesses intact.

Please Mohamed, let us know if you are experienced with ETMs or WDS.

the reason for the splicing into the fusebox is bcause the car had the old system(before motronic), this was done to accomodate the motronic c101 plug,everything used to work fine, the guy who did the conversion to motronic did not fabricate a plug hence he slpiced the wires, i suppose i should rather fabriate the plug for the swap....
what is ETMs or WDS???
