Heater Box Electrical-Two Questions


Ringworm02

Recommended Posts

I have two heater box electrical questions, hopefully you could answer these questions for me. I removed my heater box some time ago and my tags have disappeared:

 

First:

 

Is there a ground that attaches to the driver's side heater box mounting stud? There is a wire hanging from the dash that has an eyelet that coincidentally reaches that stud. 

 

 

Second:

 

What color wires go to which terminal on the front of the box? Up, down, and to the right. I have the male plug figured out.

 

 

Thanks

That brown wire is your ground, bolts up where you thought. Mike mccarthy's book has a good picture of that connection of wires, and which goes where. I was trying to figure out the wiring order myself the other day, but haven't dug out the book. I'd you don't get an answer today, I'll dig out the book this weekend and can post the configuration. Good luck.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
