Correction/update:

The component locations I posted were from a PDF I have that is a partial copy of the Porsche Service manual. It only contains the wiring diagrams from 1997 - 1999. The link I downloaded it from is dead now, but I'm sure it's out there on the net still. The actual page was:'Model 1999, Sheet 19 - Connectors and abbreviations'.

I just checked through my hard copy manual (15 binders 2 of which are pull-out wiring diagrams) and saw that it's laid out a little different each year: Sheet 18 for the 1997, Sheet 19 for 98-99, Later model years it's called "Plug Connections, abbreviations" and ranges between sheets 21 - 23.

I Just looked through the Bentley. It has the information, but it is presented differently. It has the X-connectors and their locations stated on "EWD-8", on the page before the actual wiring diagrams start. There's some more useful info on how to read the wire diagrams in the pages before that, "EWD-3", "EWD-4", etc....

Thank you for finding it. Bentley certainly did hide it well.
I have been trying to get a CD version of the FM with the Supplements/updates but the best I can find is a 1997 manual with updates as far as #16 .There is no date for any of the updates so am clueless as to if it would be useful.
