Another wiring Q.

[Motorhole]

Here we go again... reverting to the fountain of E30 Knowledge! This plug is spliced into the headlamp loom. I think it's where the active check control plugs into the loom, given the colour of the wires? But it's not a 6 cylinder car. If someone could confirm or otherwise that would be great, thanks!

It's not the dim dip resistor is it?

It's not the dim dip resistor is it?

There'll be two of them if it is.
What age and model of car, and what's the exact colour of the wires?

[Motorhole]

Only one I can see. I don't think it was plugged into anything beforehand... car is a 1990 318i Lux. Wires are yellow/grey and brown/grey.

[Brianmoooore]

Brown/grey and grey/white are the colours of the plug where the intensive wash/headlamp wiper loom connects to the body loom.

Ah yes, thanks Brian. I think that must be it - the contours on the inside of the plug fit the female plug on the right of this pic of the headlamp wiper loom:
