Right side harness, two wire plug, dark green/violet and yellow/red wires.
Where did the replacement come from? Looks like 2002-2004 are okay.

It is a 2002 Mazda Tribute engine, putting it into a 2003 Ford Escape. Thanks a lot.

Is right side wiring harness the one coming from the computer wiring harness? Because I have pulled the whole thing almost out and I cannot find it. I am going to finish pulling it out tomorrow. That is the harness coming from the computer to the fuse box. The engine wiring harness went through it three times and it is not on it.

It should be in the right side engine harness.
