ABS wire repair kit

Hello guys.
Need help with finding the correct part number for the rear left ABS wire repair kit.
I can find specific Boxster part number for the fronts, but for the rear I can only find 996 fitment.
Hoping someone done this repair and have the correct part number on hand.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: 2001 Boxster S no PSM.

If I had to guess the rear 996 and rear 986 S use the the same wiring harness.

That was my assumption as well.
I ordered the 996 harness and still have the same issue.
I think I was able to find it.
Part number is 986.612.953.01
I just hope someone can confirm as these are not cheap, and usually being order from Germany.

What is it you are trying to fix? Is it the connector at the wheel that is broken? Someone in the past week was getting ready to send a car to the scrap yard, you could have them cut off the connectors & wire so you can splice them into your existing. I did this on all 4 of my wheels as the connectors had developed cracks in them.

And at a ridiculous price; dealers sell them for $80-90.

I took me 3 months to source all the harnesses for my 996 (did all 4 corners). These were hard to get even before the war.
Thanks everyone for the help.
