Think City with Gen 1 PCU have a very strange and hard to find connector.

The connector is hanging freely above the passenger foot well.

I replace these with another connector that is usually used on a cars with Gen 2 PCU.

pin 1 - Black/Green

pin 2 - Green/White

pin 3 - White

pin 4 - Grey/Black
