ANYONE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM?
On my '88 there are two orange colored connectors (they look like fuse holders, approx. 4") near the top of each fender well inside the engine compartment. These are connected to two smaller orange boxes and make up the SRS (airbag) wiring system.
My connectors are brittle and practically falling apart. The dealership says you have to buy the pricey SRS wiring loom (it plugs into the control unit under the dash).
But all I want to do is replace the connectors.
Does anyone know of a source for these connectors??

Pluse generators
I believe that they are connectors for the ABS pulse generators located at each wheel. The part # is 34521179981
I had to replace mine, the outside black rubber insulation rotted away, the new ones use a better rubber.

Re: ANYONE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM?
Those are for the air bag. I had the same problem and just cut the wires and spliced them directly into the existing SRS harness. Not sure if I can recommend that approach to anyone else though. If the SRS light is on you will need to reset it but I think the dealer is the only place to do that.BORN2RUN wrote:On my '88 there are two orange colored connectors (they look like fuse holders, approx. 4") near the top of each fender well inside the engine compartment.

I have a couple of used crash sensors from an 89 e34 with good connectors if you're interested.
Re: ANYONE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM?
YES! I have the exact same problem they are plugs for the airbag system.BORN2RUN wrote:On my '88 there are two orange colored connectors (they look like fuse holders, approx. 4") near the top of each fender well inside the engine compartment.

I was thing about making a mold for them and possibly making replacements because you cannot buy these covers anywhere.

Tom, you should be using the BMW websites for most of your parts.

There are acoupla more I never can remember at the right time, but this is a good start. I never recommend the 'stealership', but, I just bought a window switch for $50 'cause no one else had them. It doesn't make sense to me to buy used electrical stuff either, but, that's just me. Sometimes newer parts are found.
Good Luck,,,,Greg

I agree. The dealer part no for this is 61-12-1-386-309 but it comes as the complete airbag wiring that routes to the glove box. The price is $231.19.
Not crazy expensive but I was hoping to replace the 2-pin connectors.
