I'm in the process of repairing an F31 335d X drive with a front end collision.
All gone fine except:
I don't know where two wires connect to.
They are both on the front passenger side suspension strut:
VCD and accelerometer sensor.
They both have connectors to plug into somewhere but cannot see where- I've looked everywhere!!!!
Someone please help before a main dealer trip.
Thank you.

Could one of them be for the brake pad wear sensor? The sensors are fitted to the front left and rear right wheels.

Hi. Thanks for the reply but I've already located that wire.
The wires in question are:
Lead for the Variable Damper control- part number 371-4693850
lead for Accelerating Sensor- 371-46793848

If you go to realoem.com & select your car, you will be able to find the drawings/pics of the parts & see the connection points.

Hi. I've gone down that route. It shows the wires in question (thats where i got the part numbers). It shows them connected to the strut but it does not show where they plug into the other end.
