Where to buy connectors?

[Motodude310]

Just PM the OP in the link you posted. Sounds like he would know.

Why not pull fuses 146 and 147 for free? Everything stays connected, no worries about debris and doesn't cost a penny. Forgot who posted this originally, but I did it last week and works great.

or just pull the plugs and duct tape them.

Here are the part numbers:

Universal socket housing uncoded This is the connector that goes into the exhaust flap actuator to protect it from corrosion. This part number doesn't include the cavity plugs. I'm trying to find a part number for the cavity plugs, but you could use silicon caulking.

Dummy flap actuator This is the dummy plug that is connected to the wiring harness to prevent a code.

Thanks mate.

Any other bmw component / part websites we can look at?

The part does not fit the bmw m4 as stated on the web link

It fits. I had an awe track exhaust (which isn’t valved and thus required
this to not throw a code) so I bought it. ECS is just behind in their compatibility labeling. I already spoke to their customer service department about this. They also mislabel the 6mt drain/fill plug that this car needs as not being compatible.

Thanks !! Ok will buy them online and give it a try!

Here are the parts to make the plug to close off the connector on the actuator:

so just buy two of each ? socket housing (12527549033) and exhaust flap actuator (18302411427) for both sides?

hard time visualizing what does the earlier poster mean its missing cavity plug (61138364614) if that's needed, how many needs to be bought?

For each flap that you want to disconnect, you need one dummy plug (goes on the end of the wiring harness to prevent a code from being raised), one socket (goes on the flap in place of the connector from the wiring harness) and four dummy grommets (one to plug each hole in the socket). The connector has four pins, which is why you have to close off four holes. Hope that helps.

yep this definitely helps, thank you!
