Help, lost part

It's been a while since things were coming apart off the car, now that things are coming together, little things are fading as to where they came from...

Any help would be appreciated. The below piece is missing a home. I thought it came from the main harness coming from the fuse block at the fire wall, but I don't see how it would go on.

That's the clip from the engine harness... The harness passes through the passengers side kick panel, and that piece slides into it to lock it in place.

Re: Help, lost part

Drew, thank you very much. That is where I thought it came from, but I can not figure out how/where it clips on the engine harness. Does the clip go on the engine compartment side, or the cabin side of the firewall? Is there a way I could bother you of a photo of it installed?? Was the clip suppose to go between the harness and the firewall prior to screwing it back in?

I tried it on the engine compartment side of the harness, but the clip seems too small if trying to clip it over the top, and too big if clipping it over the side, not to mention the studs on the sides of the harness...

It goes on the other side of the car - the pass side, where the ECM wiring harness goes into the fenderwell and through to the pass side footwell.

Oops , yeah passenger side... Cool, should fit much better on the right side of the car!

Thanks both! It will probably make more sense when it's in front of me, but it'll be on the inside or outside of the car?

Inside. The C100 connector under the master cylinder doesn't need the keeper since the screw keeps it in place. The engine harness however just goes through the bulkhead and that C clip slips into a groove to keep it from pulling out.

Thanks again Drew! I took a look last night and looked much more like a match.
