    Lets play: What plug is this for?

    I feel pretty knowledgable around the ol' E30, but I'm a bit stumped here guys. If you know what any of these plugs are for, please let me know! The car is a 1987 M3

    close up of the plugs: My guesses from right to left ... headlight, no idea, no idea, front turn indicator. Also there is one in the center/low of the photo with a rubber bulb cover, I'm guessing AC?

    Well if you had the right engine... j/k. Some aren't used but the connector with the heavy duty 3 female terminals are for the aux fan hi/low temp switch. There's one on the left and one on the right side Pic 4&5. They are on the same circuit. Only one was used. The 3 female spades in the black square connectors are for your lowbeams.

    Pic 2 two females in rubber boot probably go to the AC temp switch on the S14 thermostat housing.
    Pic 8 is for air temp sensor.
    Pic 3 is for receiver drier that was mounted in that hole.

    Just examine the E30 AC system, S14 cooling system, etc.
