    Where does this wire go (with pic)

    The car is a 1987 325is.

    First, here's the wire in question, the BK/RD one. I'm almost positive that it's the compressor signal wire to the DME. It was obviously cut by the PO when the A/C was removed. I need to know where it runs to so I can reconnect it (as in physically where it goes to...I know it goes to C211, then turns into a BU/WT wire as per the ETM).

    All I need from you is to pop your hood and take a look for me. It should be down by the washer reservoir/receiver dryer area. There's no connector view in the ETM, so I'm relying on someone to either take a picture or describe to me where the connector is.



    Here's a link to the ETM if anyone really wants to geek out on this...I already have, and this is as far as I could get without actually seeing someone's car.

    Thanks in advance!

            It is off the ac switch on the dryer.

              Yes, I know, I took a picture of it. It's in the same group of wires as the high pressure cut-off switch. It (the black and red wire) should run to a connector, and on the other side of the connector there should be a blue wire with a white tracer.

              I need to know: where exactly is this connector located in the engine bay, and where does the blue and white wire run to from the connector?
