    Ok narrowing stuff down.... have to find the pinout to this. Looks like 1 wire goes to central locking on the accesory c302 so ill start looking there for pinouts

    Think you are correct... just have to see where they go into the chasis now

    Presumably, these are after market wiring such as an alarm or radio. Do they go to pin V, W, X, Y or Z of the accessory connector (C302)?
    They dont go to any pins.. they go into the chasis kick panel. They looked fairly big to be stock... ill tracke em down... maybe someones speaker job

    betting thats it... ill see about removing it if its not tied into anything else!

    Appreciate all the help. Im determined to get this thing going after the last person gave up. Still have some systems to figure out but wiring looks nasty inside. Even had a viper car alarm I had to de-viper

    The Motronic 1.3 ECU fits in a bracket above the roof of the glovebox. The cruise control module sits above that, high up in the passenger side of the dash.

    There are a couple of connectors next to the steering column: one on the left side for the ignition switch, and on the passenger side, one that connects the HVAC harness to the chassis harness.
    Ill grab a pic when I get home.. it didnt look like it belonged where they have it...

    Keep in mind i received the car already gutted so no dash at all right now

    One more odd question... did the e30 m20 motor ecu originally sit under the dash? It looks like whoever had this before me put the m50 harness in but there is another ecu plug by the steering wheel.

    The rectangular connector on the left (C103) connects the dash harness to the chassis harness.
    You are the man.

    Since this is a drift car no accessories needed so ill figure out the window wiring and call it good.
