Hey there everyone! I recently got a 1996 BMW 523i, And noticed that the traction control light is on when I popped the hood the traction control actuator has been disconnected... Was just wondering where exactly does it connected back up too? Would be much appreciated!

It may have been disconnected for a reason or have you been working on the car ?

nah got it like that, Yeah i think the previous owner did skids in it and probably wanted to fully disconnect the traction control or maybe never knew there is a button for it lol, seemed like he didint know alot about cars

The cable needs to be refitted, fault codes cleared and reset with the right scanner to check if it actually works. Does yours have cruise control as well ? If so I suggest you get the guys to check it out properly for you.
