Curious if i can source them off a 996 which might be easier to get or if anyone has a recommendation to find them new on there own or if maybe used from a different vehicle?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi everyone I am looking to make a new engine harness for my 997 and would like to avoid cutting up the cars original engine harness Curious if 996 and 997 connectors are the same? i just need the main connectors, the round locking connectors for the engine harness? Curious if i can source them off a 996 which might be easier to get or if anyone has a recommendation to find them new on there own or if maybe used from a different vehicle? Any help/info would be appreciated Thanks

POST 2Original post

I seem to recall that the connectors are the same but don't take my word for it.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

they do look the same - I am hoping they are, which should make sourcing some easier

POST 4Original post

Anything I can check? I have a spare 996.1 engine and body side harness in the garage.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you could snap some pics as a comparison that would be great. These are pics of my 997.1 engine side harness.

POST 6Original post

They are the same. calmfmurhpy did it awhile back. The pinouts/wiring are not the same though. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...p0413-cel.html " Yes, 997 engine stock wiring harness into the 996 stock car harness" .

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Excellent - Thanks for finding and sharing that, i'll give it a read through. No worries on the pin out difference, as long as the plugs are physically the same and they plug in, it'll work for me. This is for a engine swap project so it'll all be reworked anyways - Link to project - 997 K24 Engine swap

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

cds72911 - Thanks for the pics, they definitely look they same

POST 10Original post

If you're going to hack it up anyway, this one is available. It is missing some sensor connectors that I borrowed for other projects, but is otherwise intact. PM me an offer if you are interested.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I did a bit of random searching and it looks like older BMW E36 cars share these same connectors

I've uploaded a couple new videos of the progress so far - They are linked in this thread - K997 Swap Thread Whats the best way to let you guys know when there are updates, should i create a build thread in the 996 Forum?
