harness question-the case of the extra connectors!

Well, I got a new harness from Malloy, and it drove me nuts trying to find all the connectors in the cabin. I thought I had misplaced something somewhere. That is, until I looked at my old harness and realized that the new one has some extra connectors on it. Now that the mystery is solved, what do the extra connectors do? I have a '93 touring. Did the harness get extra connectors in 94 and 95? Just wondering. Here's some pics.

I would believe it. The 95s had a different part number, and the part number was superceded sometime after that so that the 93-95s all now use the same replacment harness.

Well, it's not super-important. I was just curious if anybody knew why there was an extra connector.

Looks like they built the fan recall harness into the wiring harness - makes sense. The mystery black multi-pin connector is for the fan control module that's mounted behind the ECU bracket. The single wire spade connector is the test connector for the fan control module.

Well, then I have another question. I have the fan control module (it's a little black box that goes behind the ECU), but it already has a harness plugged into it. I'm assuming this means that the recall was already performed on my car. So, can I plug the new harness directly into the fan control module and just chuck the short "recall" harness? Thanks again.

You got it. You don't need that short recall harness any more.

Is the recal adapter harness part # N3Z1-18-051? I unpluged it from the black box and all the colors left snapped in to each other fine and all is left is one ground and one black spade type ...which is only used for testing purpose, otherwise unpluged?
