Need help: What does this electrical connector plug to? Next to Airbag Control Module
Hello all, I have taken on the task of replacing my SIM/Airbag Control Module, and upon taking apart the center console, I found a connector that is just dangling there. It is the white connector shown in the pics.
To clarify, these are the three connections you see when pulling up your coin tray, behind the emergency brake, in between the seats underneath the console: The yellow powers the airbag control module The black powers the SIM module (I believe) But I am unsure what the white connector plugs in to? Does anyone know for sure? Or know where I can look this up definitively? I have a hunch my Airbag light on for code: "93DB - SIM: Control Module: Undefined Status" might have to do with this loose white connector. Or perhaps it has nothing to do with it. Thanks in advance! Pics below: |

Hi
I read over your info and I believe you have the later E89 Z4. This forum is for the 2003 thru 2008 e85/e86 Z4 which is the older model. However, maybe someone here has both the E85 & a E89 and will be able to answer your posting. However, if you don't get anything, I'd repost to the e89 forum. Hope things work out. |

Older BMWs made in the early 2000s have single wiring harnesses that have plugs for other accessories and functions not included in the car. For example, my old 2003 Z4 3.0i has the wiring harness present for the UGDO and auto dimming mirror even though the UGDO functionality wasn’t present. Same goes for stuff like CD Changers and Bluetooth or BMW Assist modules. It’s not uncommon to find wirings and plugs that aren’t plugged into anything in the earlier Z4.
On 2006 and later they changed the way wiring looms are packaged. Later BMWs and Z4s have harnesses that are more specific to the way the car is equipped and packaged. For example, the 2006 Z4 M Coupe I currently have does not have existing wires and loom for the UGDO and auto dimming mirror present because it does not have the premium package. Some of the plugs might be for functions and package(s) your car is not equipped with, like power or memory seats or heated seats.

The cd player/changer is powered from the back loom, so possibly for the BMW assist thing.
