Anybody have experience fixing this? Was replacing the center dash trim, unplugging the DTC etc and the second plastic plug just snapped in half on me, had to disassemble the whole unit to get the connector piece unstuck

Put it back together and repin it, if not I'm pretty sure u can order the connector online

Ouch. That's annoying. The good news is it can be repinned if needed.

Are all the pins still in tact? I can't really tell, but if so, you should be able to push them back into a new connector.

Worst case scenario: check the part-out forum for a wrecked car, or go to a pick n' pull near you. Get a snipped connector and solder your wires onto the new connector, matching the colors with each other.

I haven't checked Realoem yet, but having been there before I am kinda not thinking that specific connector is easy to find. Maybe I'm wrong

Yaaa I couldn't push the wires back in, I had the bottom piece still slid on at one point trying to push them back in, was as careful as possible but they wouldn't go back then it just fell apart and turned into that mess.

Good idea about the pick and pull, cuz ya I'm out of options lol

Let's us know if u find one, there is an e90 at my pick n pull currently rare around where I'm at

TIS shows the Switch S18a to which that 6-pin connector, X516 is attached, but you have to look at three different wiring diagrams to see the wire colors for each of the 6 pins (Each schematic shows ONLY 2 of the 6 pins):

(1) Central Locking for Centerlock Button wires: Pin #2, Gray/Red wire, & Pin #6, Yellow/Brown wire:
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...inputs/brA34mn

(2) DSC Switch Functions for DTC Button wires: Pin #1, Blue/Violet wire, & Pin #3, Brown/Black wire:
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...switch/oRkTjxQ

(3) Hazard Switch, Turn Signal for Hazard Button wires: Pin #4, Blue/Brown wire, and Pin #5, Brown/Blue wire. Do NOT get those two confused/swapped, as Details Matter: Brown wires Matter.

Here is the TIS "Connector View" showing the shape of the 6-pin Connector, X516, and the numbering of the pins in reference to that shape:

Now WHERE did you say you found that Connector (X516)???

Dude, holy shit! You're a life saver, that's as clear cut as it could be

Lol I thought I was the only one man-handling their interior no one else was asking or commenting on how to fix theirs. ECS actually has all the connectors, various 3 pins etc and I found this one also

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...132359992~oeb/

I haven't received it yet, next week. But a half hour of talking with them they said it's the correct one and looks to be. Will update and confirm


On a side note, anyone have any good ideas for changing up the 'DTC' button looks?

[BSM n54iS]

Just an update, all is in good working order once again. Kind of a pia getting the wires crimped and put together but then again what isn't on these cars so no biggie, normal dtc button also I'm done with that shit lol
