So, after some omore looking around I found this.



I decided I better check the other one under the rear seat and I find this.


Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. I just don't get it.

So does this look right? It looks like there somethings missing on the other side of the two o-ring connectors.



Also, any thoughts on these two plugs? They don't connect to each other.


It's a good thing this car was free.

compartment are definitely the impact sensor wires for the airbag, and the harness hanging down under the dash is for the chimes that alert you to headlights on, and other faults. Airbags were offered in the very first e34's, mine is a sept 88 production with SRS. The fusible link that you have pictured is most likely cracked based on your pic. That will affect the windows,radio ,obc etc..

I would suggest trying to pick up a Bentley manual and owner's manual, try e-bay. Get acquainted with www.realoem.com. The wires hanging down are definately not airbag, I don't think it was offered till a few years later.

When I go treplace these, do you just soder in new fusible link type wire, or are these a different type of links?

Sorry about that Bill. I just assumed they didn't have airbags on the early models because my brothers 89' doesn't have one.

Any thoughts on this fancy yellow wire?

Replaced the fusible link inder the hood, now everything works! Now I just have to figure out why the battery drains itself. I wonder if I just have a bad battery.
