Engine Electrical Help Needed... spare unattached wire
My car: 2001 X5 3.0i with manual transmission
The car seems to be running just fine. The engine light and/or other error lights are not displayed. ---------------- I recently replaced my pcv valve and along the way had to remove several items from the intake manifold side of the engine. I unbolted the electric harness box that is located under the DISA valve and disconnected several of the wires that led from the electric harness box so I could gain access to the pcv valve and pipes and replace them. When I put everything back together I came up with a spare unattached wire leading from the electric harness box. I need help identifying it and determining what it should be plugged into (if anything). The car runs fine and the engine light is not displayed... all seems well. I found the wire tucked up under the intake manifold and fished it out so I could photograph it. I have traced down all of the other wires going into and out of this electric harness box... they are connected to the following things: Top of box (left to right): - mass airflow sensor - idle control valve - disa valve Left of box (top to bottom - more or less): - water sensor... perhaps temperature - purge valve - mystery wire - oil filter housing - alternator Bottom of box - input wires to this electric harness box The big question: what is this mystery wire supposed to be plugged in to? Or is it unused in this particular engine's configuration? Thanks for your help in figuring this out. I have attached two photos: One photo shows the connector at the end of the wire. The other photo shows the length of the wire + connector. Last edited by stamas; 10-03-2012 at 09:24 AM. Reason: edited: corrected minor items |
