ABS Sensor Connector/Location on a BMW
I know this is a little off topic, (being a BMW and all) but a friend is having a little trouble with his BMW, and I know many members here own these cars.
He's chasing down a bad connection in his ABS system on his ’86 BMW 325, so he needs to get at the connectors for the ABS sensors. Do any of you who own a BMW know where the connectors are located on this car? (both front and rear) Thanks in advance for your help. Jeff Pierce

Sid,
Are you refering to the ABS control unit? I'm looking for the sensor CONNECTORS. Each sensor (one at each wheel) has a 3'-4' cable with a connector/plug at the end that gets routed to a location on the car. The question is; Where are these connector/plugs located? (they're difficult to trace because of their length and routing) For instance, does the rear seat need to be removed in order to access the rear connectors? What about the front? Do they come through the firewall and into the cabin, or do they go directly to the control unit? Again, thanks in advance for your help. Jeff Pierce

On my son's '91 318i
the rears had connectors under the back seat -- I had to change one once when some road debris broke the wire against the suspension arm (at 215,000 miles or so). They are fussy about being tied down in all the right places because the length is just about right for the job, with no slack to spare.
