Is there a difference in M20 wire harness between RWD and AWD?

[Mr. Burns]

as title states...
Real OEM has same part number, but I've read in other forums there are differences...

oil level sensor or oil pressure switch maybe? Maybe the coil wires are off a tiny as well? Assuming engine harness.

Chris would know.

The iX harness is the same except for the coil being in a different location and the oil sensor being in the bottom of the pan. They are functionally the same. There might be other subtle differences that I am unaware of.

The coil is in front of the strut tower on an iX and the washer bottle is behind it so the coil wiring is longer I would guess. Don't have one in front of me at the moment.

I think theres is a difference with the ABS also

[nando]

the harness is different yes. if you use a RWD harness in the ix your ABS won't work. There are lots of subtle differences.

if real OEM shows the same part # then they have the wrong part #. the ix harness is probably NLA.. :(

[Mr. Burns]

Real oem shows the same part number for all engine harnesses (b25) from 1987on...which I know if incorrect.

Thanks for the info

Are you looking for one? I might still have one iX specific harness left...

or are you doing the opposite?

[packratbimmer]

Thanks for the heads up on the ABS! I've never seen any extra sensors or switches. Are there extra inputs into the ECU or ABS module from the TPS?

In a bind, maybe he could run an extra harness for the additional inputs?

What else is there other than the ABS issue?
