though the front wall at a 40 pin connector pins 11, 9 & 10 respectively.
Ÿ Harness P/N A06-74578-000 ties into the 40 pin connector on the engine side of the front
wall and ends in a 6 pin connector with wires 440D, 440F, 440E & 440G. (This harness
is approximately 51" long.)
Ÿ Harness WWS 87208-3428-210 connector PS19_0 will connect to the 6 pin connector
and have enough length to route to the end of frame, i.e. this harness is 210" long.
