BMW Electrical Sensors, Switches, & Relays for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Clear BMW chassis

Electrical gremlins can be very frustrating. Luckily your BMW's electrical system is better than most, even if it's 25 years old. Here you will find electrical relays, sensors, switches, and modules for the engine, camshaft, and crankshaft. Our parts are OEM, Genuine BMW, or approved aftermarket brands that we have an excellent track record with. There is no middle ground with electrical parts - it either works perfectly or not. And there's nothing more frustrating than a new part that fails right out of the box. So it's important to choose quality replacement parts over a cheap but faulty piece.

Made in the USA

The TMS Water Temp Sensor Wiring Adaptor is needed when you are upgrading to OBD-I (1992-1995 components) on a 3.2 or 2.8 liter engine. These earlier engines use two separate water temp sensors in the head, one for the ECU and one for the instrument cluster. Most of the 3.2 and some of the 2.8 liter engines do not have two holes drilled in the head for the early water temp sensors. This is due to the fact that the 3.2 and 2.8 engines used a combined water temp sensor. So we designed a easy to use plug and play wiring harness. The benefits are: No cutting and splicing, no trying to fine plugs and pins. We also suggest using TMS "3.2 in a 3.0" Coolant Hose Adapter P/N: TEN9931007 to make your life easier.
