Can't find the harness plug for PDL's
I'm converting from manual to power windows and locks on my son's '91 RS. I parted out a '92 RS for the components. I ran the factory harness to the doors and easily found the main harness plug for the windows and have them working.
Problem is, I can't find the main harness plug for the power door locks. The PW and PDL harness has a 6 pin plug just before it goes through the boot for the left door.
Any ideas?

There is only a two pin connector that goes to the pdl actuators from the door lock relay assembly and a three pin connector that goes from the pdl switch to the relay and ACC fuse. There is a six pin connector that goes to the pdl relay assembly. This connector contains one wire from the pwr acc circuit breaker, lock/unlock wires from the lh & rh pdl switches, and two wires going to the pdl actuators. BTW, that six pin connector you mentioned is the one that you want to connect the pdl relay into.

What does the pdl relay assembly look like?
Where does it normally mount?
For the life of me, I can't seem to remember. I've kept everything I removed from the car.
Looks like this. Underneath the driver's side kickpanel.
It has a pair of grey wires, pair of tan wires, pair of black wires (unlock), pair of lt blue wires (lock), a thick black wire (relay gnd), and an orange wire (relay pwr). Ignore the green and dark blue wires in the pic, those are for the alarm system's window module.
Sorry for the crummy pic... cameraphone :/

Thanks for the pic.
I will take another gander at it. The female plug (your pic) looks different than the pw/pdl harness male plug. Where does the relay plug in?
