My swap is starting to come to a end but I had a couple of questions about the harness. On my ka/e harness by the ecu there were also 2 extra connectors, but on my ca harness there was only 1 extra and the 3rd was no where to be found. According to the fsm there's supposed to be one. Has anyone else ran into this? And is this 3rd plug needed? Also after connecting the harness in the engine bay area there were 3 plugs left over that I didnt know what they were exactly and where they are supposed plug to and if they are even needed.

Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Wei

ka/e harness

That third plug thats found inside the cabin, just forget about it. When people do their SR swaps, their harnesses dont have that clip either

I also have a harness question. Where the boost solenoid plug is there is a black wire with a ring connector. Does that wire need to be grounded?

the 3? 4? i forget pin connector by the ECU in the first pic I'm almost certain connects to the cruise control.

Use the USDM KA and the CA FSMs and compare wiring for the wires to the cruise control to make it work. It should at least get some kind of tach signal, forgot what else.

Or, just don't hook it up.
