X59 Plug pin location 4 White plug next to ECU (left of ECU) Red wire blue stripe fairly heavy wire come from ignition relay and turns off about 30 seconds after ignition is off. Does not come from ECU so can't hurt ECU. It turns on a half dozen other relays. I'm using it to turn on power to my Accusump solenoid ( .6 Amp) for over a year with no ill effect. I installed a 1 Amp fuse link after the connection. It come from fuse block C fuse 1, 25AMP fuse supplied from 80 Amp fuse at distribution block near battery.

Thanks jsceash. I found that red/blue wire and the wideband O2 controller is running great!

How exactly do you tie into the power source wire? Do you use a posi-tap or?
Thanks, Stephen

I sure hope your poking around did not harm something.

I was trying to use my voltmeter on the airflow sensor connect to check for a bad ground and I ended up frying the ECM.

I had to replace the ECM in the trunk/Security computer under drivers seat and the ignition module as they are all a matched set.

I fortunately found a set for my model and year for $350 from a dismantler.
