Dash Connector ID

Finally after almost a full year, I'm getting to the point where I can spend some time on the RX7 again. When I left off, the issue I had was no fuel and no spark, but the engine cranked fine, leading me to believe I have some connector issues between the side of the car that the battery is on and the side that the computer is on. I pulled the dash harness out of the dash so I could run it and easily make sure I understand what went where, and I think I may have found my problem.

I have 2 9 pin white connectors, and 3 things that plug in. Anyone know these off the top of their head maybe?



The connector in this picture goes to the climate control computer (or climatron, whatever) on the left - is that where that will connect to?



The plug on the left in this picture comes from the dash harness, the connector on the right is to the front passenger harness. This is the one that I couldn't determine if it plugged in here . . .



Or got pulled up to connect to the light cluster in the center, here?

Either way I'm missing a plug, any ideas?

The FSM shows all the plugs. Just go to the pages that show the plugs and compare what you have to what is shown on each page. You compare the number of sockets in a plug and the WIRE COLORS of each plug. Just showing a plug and not the wire colors does no good.

An example plug page is attached.

On series four cars, the run of wires b/t the CAS and ECU has one connector in between. .Called FE-04

It's a plug that makes a connection b/t the Front and Engine harness. It's located down around and about the area below the trail coil area. Looks just like the attached jpg of the plug FE-04. Same wire colors. Same four socket/pins.

Sorry about that, I thought that by showing each plug's location, along with a description of where they were going to, that might be enough. Thanks for your help, though!
