Factory Service Manual question

[RMin280]

I’m trying to track down an electrical issue and I’m going through the fsm and I found the wire I’m looking for, but it goes through the connector c-1. The issue is that on the last page, it shows the connector with the same shape that I saw on the diagram, but it has an arrow pointing to a different shaped connector. Does anyone know what this means? Image is attached.

Can you tell us the year FSM?

In my understanding of these diagrams, the upper C1 shows the x'ed out ones have no wires in this positions. The lower C1 is what the plug actually looks like. 

SteveJ will know for sure about this. 🙂

That would make sense because it has the same number of pins, or spaces for pins.

@Terrapin Zis correct.

Those connectors are also color coded. C1 is blue as indicated on the wiring diagram.

Another convention, knowing which side has the male pins:

So in the wiring diagram:

The male pins should be on the engine harness side, and the female pins should be on the body harness.

If you see how the connector is shown in the wiring diagram, there are no wires going to where the Xs are.

@SteveJ Thank you. That makes a lot more sense now.
