I’ve installed the left front abs repair harness and am trying to determine where to splice in.

Has anyone here done the left front before? Mine is an ‘03 C4S, but would expect all 996’s to be the same.

Tks-
Joseph

Got it done. Left enough slack to support future replacement. Maybe a 5 channel plug would have been one step better.

Nice work, glad you were able to fix it. I may have missed it previously but what led to this harness needing to be replaced?

The second picture from the bottom shows the split on the harness side of the abs plug. The brake wear circuit was still intact by the abs was not, hence the P4205 code and abs/psm lights.
