"E" is located behind the Alternator.



Thanks! I will take another look. Do I have to remove the alternator to be able to access "E"?
Nope, it connects to the bottom of D

You can probably reach it from the top if you take the resonance tube off, I'm not sure that would be easier. For me it's easiest to take the alternator out.
Renntech is usually pretty good for this stuff. Check this out for another perspective:
