I'm used to 87-86 TPI Units on my previous cars with totally different connectors. i recenly added a semi-complete 91. ive wired everything up but cant get power to the ECM. Im pretty sure its because of this connector here. Am i correct and also how does it connect to the battery(if it even does).

 

The connector on the left is for the ECM/FP fuse. The larger connector....not sure what it does but it gets hooked to a connector that's in the convoluted tubing with the battery power wire.

 

alright, so the connector on the right side of the picture would get power at both of those ends correct?

 

As stated the smaller connector has a fuse in it with a cover that is fastened to the radiator support. The larger plug goes directly to the battery. The 90-92 Firebird battery cable has a plug that attaches directly the large plug. Yes both of the wires in the larger plug get power from the battery. If you had the aforementioned battery cables it would be a direct plug in.

 

bingo would you happen to know where i could get this battery cable? from the way my luck goes im pretty sure that im going to be SOL on this one and have to get one off of a '92 F-Body.

 

Aside from the dealership or someone on here I don't know. You should do a search for a part number. Maybe someone has one laying around. I had one but, a friend needed it for his car.

 

On subject.....
Where does the orange wire go? Mine's cut. Looks like the previous owner did something crazy with mine.
