Wire identification.

[Arlo Cooper]

Hey,

 

Quick question I need help with. Just put a motor (M10) in this RHD 02 (When I got it it had none, had been removed.

I think I've got all the wires sorted except for this single one coming out through the firewall. Its blue. 

 

See below.

 

 

I am talking about that blue wire with the spade connector on it.

 

Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Arlo.

What is the object inside the cowl?  I've never seen that before.

That looks like an alarm as that is where I fitted my alarm sounder. That wire is definitely aftermarket and probably associated with the alarm. BMW didn’t run any wires through that air plenum from the firewall. I reused a hole drilled by a P.O. otherwise I would have not put my sounder there.
