This document is page 23 of 24 from a Ford Taurus/Sable factory wiring/connector location guide (document number FCS-12123-98), showing connector locations 'Behind I/P (1 of 2)', i.e., behind the instrument panel/dashboard. It is an exploded line drawing of the dash and its wiring harnesses overlaid with a lettered/numbered locator grid (columns 1-10, rows A-F). Callouts identify the physical location of numerous electrical connectors, including the sunload sensor (C2017), light sensor/amplifier (C2007), glove box switch/lamp (C2033), courtesy lamps (C2026, C2125), blower motor and speed controller (C215/C2043, C216/C233), passenger and driver air bags (C202, C:31), in-car temperature sensor (C2000), transmission control switch (C240), PATS transceiver (C241), clockspring (C228/C298), horn/speed control (C230), multi-function switch (C268/C269), autolamp and headlamp switches (C2037, C2031/C2032), trunk lid release (C2041), liftgate wiper/washer control (C2006), blend door actuator (C2046, w/EATC), RCC module (C2044), speed control deactivate switch (C246), and ground G200. The Air Bag Diagnostic Monitor connector (C277) is circled in red, indicating the uploader's focus. A boxed warning states the illustration and grid must not be used for reporting vehicle repair locations.
