What is this cable (in engine bay of 335i)

Used2335 · 05-22-2011, 08:48 PM

Hello,
I am going in the morning to pick up a 335i private party and noticed a cord sticking out of the engine bay in kind of an odd area (right under what looks like the air filter box). I snapped a picture. Could someone tell me what it is, and if it is normal? What might it be used for? Thanks!

Temperature sensor, you'll see something similar on the other side which I believe is the air sensor. It's normal.

Actually I'm pretty sure its the wire for the hood switch for the alarm...

Temperature sensor...there is one on the driver and passenger side.

That is the alarm hood switch connector.

This.

THAT IS the alarm switch wiring and you do not have an alarm. The wiring on the passenger side is a temp sensor.

It's the wire that leads to the Self-Destruct Button!
