E38 ECM Connector Details
A few pics to show how the wire/terminal is added to the E38 body connector:
Body or J1/X1 Connector for E38 ECM. It is the 73 pin connector. Note the arrow to cavity 5. Most unused cavities have either a blue plug or a black plug that is molded as part of the connector. Cavity 5 has the molded in plug. The cavity is blocked with this plug.
E38/E67 .64 Series Terminal with wire
Flipside of connector - terminal side where it plugs in to ECM socket.
Small screwdriver is used to break the black molded in plug loose. Push on the edge of the plug alongside the cavity wall for best leverage. It should break loose without too much pressure if you push in the right place.
If your connector has the molded in black plugs, they need to be removed from the terminal area underneath the terminal seperator. Use a small screwdriver at each end of the seperator to leverage it out. Cable end:
