Hello! I was trying to fix my intermittent wiper position issue and stumbled on this weird cable going to one of the connectors in driver's footwell on my 3L.

I can't find a pinout of this connector.
What can it be?
Thank you!
 
which pin of the green connector is it? Did you already go through ErWin? It won't be cruise.

The other way to do it is compare the equipment you have with the sticker in the boot and see what's been added. Or post it over on the German forum, there are more 1.2 drivers there.

It connects to the second from the right top pin of the blue. I'm not sure it goes to the green connector at all. And I don't have cruise.

I've googled erwin and I don't understand how is it connected to cars at all...

I didn't find any discrepancies with equipment list on the sticker. Only thing that's not working properly is car not starting in Stop position and it doesn't engage gear in it. I can just push the car around.

I don't know German, but I'll try with to post with Google translate, thanks!
 
Are these connectors not relating to the amplifier for the radio? Maybe you have an aftermarket bluetooth setup?

I have an aftermarket radio, but without Bluetooth. It's an old Blaupunkt installed around this car's first year of life. Sticker says that my 3L came without Concert, but with fittings for an aftermarket stereo.
I do have a weird mic on a ceiling not connected to radio going somewhere, but I didn't find any Bluetooth devices in the car.
I'm not sure I'm ready to disassemble half of the interior to find a lonely connector on the other end...
 
That connector will almost certainly be stereo related. Just pop your head-unit out and see... Or it will be leading to the amplifier under the false floor, near the fuse box.
 
no, they aren't, becasue this is an LHD car. The best information I can find implies to do with servo and various other bits. I doubt it's a KL15 but it's possible that's where ignition live comes from for the radio... still find it strange.

Don't worry about translate, you can just post.

Everything is very neat behind the connectors, wires go together and there's couple brown ones, but nothing hanging separately.

Can it be wire from headlight switch? My stereo goes to "night mode" when I turn my lights on.
 
If I read schematics correctly -- green\white wire from this connector goes to Oil Pressure Switch.

Should I be concerned about this modification?
 
wait, so the big brown wire is piggybacked on to the green/white wire that's connected to position 3 of the blue connector?

I would hazard a guess that someone has taken the easy way out of searching for ignition live for your radio. It's still done wrongly.

Yes! But it doesn't go straight to radio, it goes somewhere in the pillar direction. I'll wait for some not-so-rainy day to find his destination.

So I misread schematics and this is not the wire for pressure switch?
 
this is the wire for the pressure switch. Which will of course be ignition-live.... silly way to do it, wouldn't surprise me.
