E46 Dual 3-pin Clutch Switch Wire Harness (Early Style)

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 utilize the dual clutch switches on the early pedal assemblies when swapping from an automatic to manual for both proper starting procedure and functioning cruise control.

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 is for the earlier pedal assemblies. A wire harness for the clutch switch module on the clutch master cylinder is available here.
