Hey so I did a clutch job on my mini and damaged one of the connectors on my EPS control unit. There are three connectors and the one that I damaged was one of the smaller connectors with ylw, ylw blk, ylw brn wires. If someone could either send me a picture of what pins these wires go to, or what they are for, I would really appreciate it. I found a connector from a 2008 Mini that works, but the wires are different colors. Here is a picture of what I’m talking about:

The first circle is the connector I’m talking about (Not the original colors). The second circle is the original wire colors.

One you get them flixed i would wrap them up really good as you can get some water down there. heat shrink tubing works good.

 

Wow that’s exactly what I was looking for! Thank you. So I wired them up right, but the plug for the 2007 Mini was slightly different enough that it didn’t actually work. Anyways, luckily there was on 2008 mini in a 50 mile radius of me at the pick n pull. That connector was the exact same, wire colors included. So I soldered it and shrink wrapped it this time and now no issues! It’s always one of those small f-ups that keep my cars down for a week longer than they are supposed to 😒

 

Good you got it fixed.

 

Aaaand, the web link does not work any more. Did anyone by chance note that wiring pattern? Thanks

 

TIS link is dead, you have to buy the service now as BMW group shut it down on the free site.

 

Pick and pull for the win. And sharing an image for the next poor dope who drops their subframe without unplugging this eps connector

the plastics have numerals. Pin 4 is ylw/brown pin 3 is ylw/black pin 2 is skipped pin 1 is yellow
