Okay, I guess I understand this stuff less well than I hoped.  If I
was looking for the pin location to plug the +12v line of the power
harness for an 034EFI system in I'd put it in A11 or E2?  And by
"comes out", do you mean in three wires (for the F/TCU, OXS and FP
relay) from the same pin or that they're wired in series?  I'll read
your post too. I promise I won't remain this much of an idiot for
long, I pick stuff up pretty quickly, but wiring is new to me.
