Hi all, just wondered if anyone knows where to connect the other end of the rear brake sensor . Not the pad end, the other end. Is it behind the seat or maybe in the boot (UK car).It just seems to disappear and looks tricky. Hope someone can help
Thanks

It’s in front of the wheel …goes to a connection box …Jack the can up and remove the wheel to access

I was going to say that, but not sure it's the same on E89??

Hi, thanks for the replies, but no box near wheel as it is on the front. The end disappears into an inaccessible space to the right and I can't figure out where it goes.

Yes there is you’re just not looking hard enough…only one location..if it’s covered in road crap trick to see..near the rear trailing arm pivot point

Hi just had another quick look and my thoughts are that it's in the wheel arch liner . I followed the cable as far as I could and that seems to be the only logical place. I had the wheel off today but will look again tomorrow
Thanks again

Thanks , I had a feeling it was there as the cable went off to the right side.
cheers
