I have a 2019 with 18k miles that popped a cel for the active grille shutter. I found one other post about this but it’s just explaining what it is. What I’m looking for is the location of the plugs and wiring for that.

I bought a Haynes manual and it didn’t even mention it. Anyone replaced this or fixed the cel before?

The shutter assembly is in the base of the grille, the motor/controller is at the lefthand (driver's) end of it. They're not terribly difficult to replace but the bumper skirt does need to come loose. Make sure it isn't simply jammed before condemning it, and make sure the wiring isn't damaged. The wiring runs just above the plastic under-pan and comes up from the bottom, so it's very common for jumping a curb to cause harness damage.

Check the wires for sure. The controller uses a low-voltage LIN link to the ECM, and water intrusion into the connector will mess things up just as effectively as broken wires.
