Brake wear sensor socket / connector on the car side. Anyone know the part number?

2006 R50. The connector cracked and fell apart. I have a new brake wear sensor (female side).

Searched here and on realoem.com, no joy :(

 

Sorry I don't have the answer.
I had the same thing happen to mine years ago. I too searched for that part for years to no avail. I finally managed to re-form/ Sculpt the receiving "barrel" with hot melt plastic/thermoplastic pellets (hobby lobby). It has held up for 12 years so far.
I've always intended to cut one out from a salvage yard - but often forgot. Salvage yard or part-out or contact Allmag, might be your only option to find one used.

 

Allmag - should have buckets of them. Call them. They are pretty nice

 

i think i may have found it. let me get a link.

Also, i realized after asking the question that one could purchase a new standard 2 pin connector and use that. I had to do that with the coolant fan some time back (a four pin connector). I'll get a link for this as well for reference.

 

i think this might be it: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...-61131393742kt

they also have just the socket if your pins are in order: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...ol-61131393742

or

here is a standard 2 pin connector that might work:

 

Good job! - Way to go
Your tenacity paid off for all of us who've had these things crumble and break.
Thanks!!!

 

yes sir, I don't want to say for sure until I install it but I have a feeling this is the one

I will report back

 

I dont have one in stock to check, most people bust up the ABS sensor socket thats blue and we have those.

Also people dont know this but early Gen 1 MINIs did not have brake pad sensors. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...r-missing.html


https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...l/61131393742/ looks like its E53 only but we know they like to share and not shown on any etk.

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...Cooper_S&mg=61 Dont see it in any electricals either.

Let us know if it fits.

 

thank you, ecstuning. i'll definitely update once i try this

 

You are welcome! - Mike

 

Thanks for the clarification with the link to the discussion.
I was almost tempted to retort since my 2004 R53 pre-facelift (10.16.03 build date) came with brake wear sensors. It's interesting to know the changes made between the early '03 models and the pre-facelift '04s' built in 2003.

 

How is everything going now?

 

I should first preface in stating - By no means am I trying to side step or dishonor our/my trusted Mini parts vendors..or intened to hijack this thread.
But I am a sucker for strolling the salvage yards. Just by chance, I should come across any good hard to find (OEM) Mini parts (e.g: 1st gen above the door side visor and passenger grab handle/panic bar...)

'Hit the low desert salvage yard this afternoon after getting a text alert that 2wo R53's had recently landed the yard.



Some good interior parts were already stripped but...


I remembered this thread and decided to snip a couple of these....Just in case.
I hope @ssoliman 's find works out to be a solution to sourcing these old parts.

 

Nice! Looks like it could be a match. I'm planning to put in an order this week

 

Where is this yard located ? Thanks
