Trying to replace my window microswitch mini-harness (2004 Boxster, the harness that commands the window to roll down slightly when the door handle is activated) and I have no problem locating the place for the actual microswitch, which is depressed by the opening of the door handle, but I'm damned if I can find the receptacle for the other end of the harness. When I removed the original harness, I somehow thought it would be obvious where the new one plugged in, but by the time I got around to completing the job, I'd lost sight of the location for the inboard end of the harness.

Is it somewhere on the large terminal block that is solidly fastened near the rear of the door, or have I somehow lost a wire and terminal inside the depths of the door?
