I just bought a 1992 K75 from my friend's widow (long sad story, may he rest in peace) and was going through it to fix what is needed and to remove accessories that are no longer required (Autocom system, for one). I found a couple of auxiliary circuits that weren't attached to anything (no tape on the ends of the wires that were switch hot) and removed those.
I did find two brown loose wires that were apparently just pushed into a connector at one point (possibly the one in the following picture, middle left?)
Those loose brown wires attach to a non-factory relay. Also connected to said relay are two yellow wires that are also just pushed into the factory connector that has a CHOKE label on it (or it did until I touched and moved it and then it fell off)
I have not looked further at the relay to figure out which wire is supposed to do what (power in/output/common). Do y'all know of any common 'mods' that would utilize said connectors? I have read that BMW (at some point) decided that owners really didn't need an indicator for when the choke was on, but they never removed said connection from the factory loom. I thought that CHOKE connector went to the instrument panel (I could be wrong), but why would one need a relay to power an indicator light?
Thanks in advance.
