extra plugs on loom?

[dubownerbilco]

me again

i have just been examining the m30 loom before fitting it into the e30 and have noticed the extra plugs and relays that are attatched to the loom near the ecu plug, what shall i do with these?

simply leave them unplugged?

[dubownerbilco]

anyone? could do with knowing asap

[mcbonio]

I'm sure Rav or Lee or one of the other m30 boffins will answer soon.

I'm sure mine are just cable tied up out of the way...

You'll want to keep your relays; they'll come in quite handy for getting your car running.
I cut the extra plugs. They're used on the e34 for switching the cooling fan in the e-box.

Just leave them unpluged.

[dubownerbilco]

ok no probs

am i right in saying the relays are the fuel pump relay and main relay? hence the reason for keeping them...

and aswell, the 3 red wires which also come out near the ecu plug will have to be stripped back along the loom to connect the to battery dummy terminal?

i hate wiring, even the simplest of setups confuses the frig out of me! which is also the reason why my polo has bike carbs, nice and simple

[mcbonio]

Yeah wiring baffles me too, give me a spanner anyday.!

[dubownerbilco]

i hate wiring so much i would quite happily pay someone to do it for me, and i like to do everything myself normally!

[Bristol_Jer]

They are the fuel pump relay and DME relay iirc

[dubownerbilco]

just as i thought then

Do those red wires you mentioned need stripping back to go to the + battery term.
I hate wiring too

Near ecu plug I have two relays 2 black plugs and one white and a pos.+
*The relays are kept (connected)
*2black 1 white plugs are n/a ( unplugged)
* the pos.+ ----------does this need stripping back past the bulk head bung to be connected to the + on battery

Help me jim sat in front the loom as we speak
