    Default Need Help On Wiring !!! Asap !!!!

    New to BMW's and just getting this project almost done. There is a single wire that is brown with a green stripe that runs infront of the timing belt cover. It has a 2 prong plug with a single wire. I can not figure out where this goes?

    ALSO the wire the goes around the spark plug wire and has a 3 prong plug where does that plug into?

    my car is a 1989 525i.

    I am guessing you are talking about crankshaft position sensor and cylinder 6 sensor. Both plugs go side by side into the main harness plastic enclosure by the fuel pressure regulator but on the passenger's side. In correct position plug wires run down.

    I apologize...
    For some reason I imagined that you had 535 not 525.

    the single wire goes to the oil pressure switch behind the compressor, the inductive pick up from the #6 plug wire plugs in right next to the crank position sensor's wire under the intake, neither will keep it from running

    the ac lead comes off the frame and has a 3 wire plug usually with a single round pin wire and sometimes a jumper wire in the plug

    Cool. I had no idea. Here in the UK, I've only seen one M20 with A/C, and it had been very amateurishly (mostly) deleted. The compressor was still there, but all associated wiring and piping was removed.

    I am shooting to start my car for the first time tonight if I get these wires figured out. I even bought a bently book for my car and that was the biggest waste of $25 I have spent so far on my car. It dont show nothing.
