    95 E36 M3 coolant level sensor wire color?

    Now that I reinstalled the OBC in my 95 M3 Im getting some warnings and want to clear them all up - the only wire I can find near the front which I haven't already identified is a black/blue wire? Can anyone confirm? (Hoping its the coolant level!)

    Car is a 9/95 build - I looked at some wiring diagrams and found the circuit but didn't see the wire colors mentioned.

    Thanks!
    Sam

    The 1995 wiring diagram shows Br/Ws;

    6581.2 is the wiring for the OBC

    Going from memory ... AC compressor sensing or something like that.

    Hmmm..car is a LTW and didnt have A/C from the factory so Id assume it wouldn't have A/C wiring but I will see if I can check that vs the wiring diagrams.

    If you follow the wires, do they go into a factory unmodified harness?

    Who installed the S54 in it?

    Yes looks that way, these two wires (ground and blue/black) come off the same wiring bundle as headlights/fog lights. Bimmerworld circa 2009.
