Hello folks, it's been a while. It looks very quiet in here. Anyway, I'm trying to change the crank position sensor (engine speed sensor) on my S50B30. I found the location of the sensor already. Now I need find out the location of the connector and how the wire is routed, so I just have to remove as few parts as possible. Please help me. Thanks.

Regards,

If you have already found the sensor itself, you just follow the cable surely? Can't be that difficult to trace the cable to where it connects? Sorry to state the obvious unless I'm missing something buddy?

There isn't much room where I find it though. By standing on the driver's side, I can only feel it but cannot see it. The wire goes out of my reach to the other side somewhere. I removed the intake and found a few of connectors that appear from the engine loom. They look similar so I'm not sure which is which. Now I'm not even sure any of them belong to the crank sensor at all.
