Hey guys, Its been over 2 weeks since I had taken apart the intake and stuff on the 530. Now I got the pintle caps for the injectors, so its time to put it all back together and I have no freakin clue where all the electricals plug into!! Can somone post a picture of engine with the engine cover off? Preferably on the passenger side front and a top view shot. I know the grey connector goes to the ICV but thats about it. Also, I have no idea where the hell all the little mounting brackets go! I took a few pictures with my phone hoping it would help on re-install, but I can't tell **** from those pics! Any help would be great guys, I would really appreciate it! TIA

Oh my, that must suck to be you ;)

When I did mine I was able to figure them out by the length of the wires and the parts with terminals. There ARE 2 that can interchange if not careful...I got lucky. 1 is the ICV but I dont remember what the other was. The rest had different connectors so it wasnt possible to mix them up.

Good luck! I know the frustration.

Ya thanks for that other info shogun, but this is for the 530 m60 (its my sisters car) You always have great feedback :) I should just put those cars in my tags because seems as if I am always working on them more than my 535 :P

MBXB Thank you so much for the pics. I matched most of the connectors up, its just the ones that are near the ICV. There is 1 grey and 2 black connectors both 3 slot connectors. And all these little mounting brackets suck :) Thanks for all the help guys!
