E46 Clutch Switch Module Wire Harness

Take our advice and don’t waste your time trying to pull this wiring from a donor car or trying to find the correct BMW part numbers. This harness will allow you to easily add the Clutch Switch Module (BMW #35426876898) into your car when swapping from an automatic to manual for both proper starting procedure and functioning cruise control.

Used Clutch Switch Module (BMW #35426876898) are available here.

Connector Pinout:

1. – 0.35 mm² Brown – to Chassis Ground (loose wire – typically goes to the comb splice near the Instrument Cluster)
2. – 0.35 mm² Blue – to DME X60004-23 (pre-crimped pin)
3. – 0.50 mm² Violet – to Ignition Switched Power (loose wire – typically goes to the ultrasonic splice from Fuse 9)

Notes:

 – E46 up to 03/2001 had two plunger style clutch pedal switches activated by the clutch pedal, while E46 from 03/2001 had the clutch switch module on the clutch master cylinder. This wire harness will only work with the newer style master cylinder with the provision for the clutch switch module to attach to it. The newer style master cylinder can be installed on the earlier E46 while using this wire harness.
