450 SAM Wiring

FQ101 will not be held responsible for any damage incurred as a result of working on your car's wiring systems. This information is for reference only.

The following information has been collected from a 2004 Passion and a 2006 Brabus. Please note that this guide is only applicable for fortwos (450). There are some fundamental differences with the Roadster and fortwo 451 SAM wiring configurations and therefore you should not use this guide if you have either of these cars.

To access the wiring of your SAM follow this guide. The connectors on the back of the SAM are as follows:

Note that connectors 21-30 are not used for N11-8 or N11-9. Details on how to access these are shown at the bottom of this guide.

If you would like a summarised wiring diagram, you can download and print off the following pdf. It may be easier to use this when working in your footwell:

To access the wiring connectors for N11-8 and N11-9, you need to remove the outer casing. Pins 1-20 are attached to a grey connector with Pins 31-40 in a black connector. Each of these are held in the outer case with two white clips indicated below. Use a small screwdriver to push these back whilst pulling the wiring gently.

The connectors should now slide out of the case.

In case you forget which way round the connectors fit into the outer case, each one is labelled with its pin value and a direction arrow. The connectors are slid into the case in the direction of the arrow where they will click back into place.
