    Mystery wire time!!!

    Hey, sorry some of these might seem really stupid, but i dont have another e30 to compare mine to :D
    Need to know what these wires do or if they should be hooked up to anything

    #1
    Under steering wheel,
    Yellow wires are accounted for (i just removed them)



    #4
    Behind driver side lights


    #5
    Cut from the wiring harness, 2 brown, 1 red with white stripe, 1 blue.
    These are on the same line as the auxilary power that rests near the fuse box

        The diff is not in the engine bay... It's the wires that hook up to the coolant sensor(s) on the radiator.

        4. The one on the right is for the bumper sidemarker I believe. You have a late model I assume?

          Under steering wheel,
          Yellow wires are clipped, and lead to whatever it is in the next pic

          The long flat black ones are from the door gong under the steering wheel. The small black one with two wires going in looks like it plugs in to the back of the headlight switch. All the others including the yellow wires to that relay, are aftermarket alarm system parts. Unless you plan on making the alarm work again, get rid of them. Oh and the jumped relay in the use box could be the alarm as well.

          The two connectors where you mentioned the fog light connector, I think the other one goes to the washer fluid motor or the level sensor on the washer tank.

          Hope that helps

            thanks so much!
            that helps alot, ill just end up tearing that stuff out. the PO did a HORRIBLE job on some of this wiring..

            The plug you say goes to the back of the headlight switch... i dunno about that... maybe for a foglight switch? I dont have fogs installed right now, so the PO might have just pulled the plug.

            Now i just need to figure out what pic 5 is!

              Another question, i have premium front speakers. for the passenger kick panel speaker, i have 3 plugs for the speaker, and for the driver side theres 4... im assuming not ALL of them are supposed to be plugged in. does anyone know what goes where? Ill take some pics tomorrow as my description is very vague.
