I'm in the process of changing my dash and I have a few wires that I don't remember disconnecting them. :hmm: First picture is the headlight switch area, and the rest are under the dash. There is a connector (see pic) that looks like something should be plugged in, but none of the wires plug in. Hopefully some of you can give me an idea of where these wires go. :doh:


(See red arrows)


Thanks in advance

The first pic looks like it might be for the hatch release. Unsure about the rest though.

Posted from my Rooted and ICS'd RezoundI think your right, the bottom two I don't remember touching as the only wires I disconnected were the headlight area/hvac/radio. Everything else was clips for the harness.

Some of the wiring under the dash goes to nothing, its just there. It had me frazzled when I did my dash swap. I cant tell by the blur of the first pic, but the hatch release is a small, straight, round on one side black plug, with 2 black wires.

I'm pretty sure the third pic with the black harness is where the reverse lockout wiring would go, but your a m6 car so its not needed

Ill take a look at my car when I get home to help you with the other wires, I have my underside of the dash exposed already.

The wires in the second pic have a blue connector with a brown and a yellow wire, there thick wires. The other one is a white connector with a tan wire and a black with a white stripe. These wires are thin. Hopefully that helps you out better with finding them.

Yellow and brown with blue connector go on the clutch pedal in the slot closest to the firewall, the other one is disconnected on my car (96, m6).
