Hi guys , I just bought a 2003 Z4 and when I try to clean up my new toy then I when to the battery and found a big plug with wires that’s have been cut and connect to each other , but the module or whatever component the plug have to plug in is not there . So with my thoughts is there any module or component is next to the battery ? It’s maybe broken so the bmw tech discard it and try to bypass it ?
 
Welcome to the forum. Do you have a picture of the connection as is? That would no doubt help others to answer your question. :)
 
Here is some pictures of the wires are has been cut out and connected to each other… and the component or module is been missing is where my finger is pointing at

That is where the amplifier would have been. I assume you have the big speakers behind the seats?
Looks like someone has removed it and possibly fitted another one somewhere?
 
:thumbsup: Yes there are 2 speakers in the back of the seats so that would to be it .. and yes the radio has been replaced with and aftermarket 1 .. I don’t see any other amplifier yet but thanks for the information :thumbsup:

Could do with being tidier though couldn't it. :D

Maybe if you can't remove it all then you could use a small plastic box and feed everything inside that?
 
Now that’s sorted can we have some pictures of the actual car please before the car photo police turn up :rofl: :thumbsup:
 
Will do after I’m done cleaning it up, overall the car is good , just some electrical problems need to sort out, like soft top not working (z4 common failure) side view mirrors adjust are not working (hopefully is the control switch)
 
It looks like your question has been answered, so welcome aboard. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks .. will be a lot to learn here , been watching people doing M50 manifold swap … is it help giant much power ? Just did cold air intake upgrade and muffler delete today.. still working on the convertible top
