I always thought I had one of those wiring looms that did not have the code reader plug (black square 4 pin) wired in, there was no sign of it in the footwell wiring loom to the ECU, (not to be confused with the white 5 pin dealer diagnostic plug that is there).
Whilst fitting a new alarm I found it, coming off the main loom behind the dash, behind the glovebox, tucked up between the heater and transmission tunnel. Quite handy because I pulled it through into the glovebox.
So if if there is anyone else out there who can not find this code reader plug in their car loom, you never know it could be tucked up behind the dash.

By any chance is this one of the early Griffs that had the fuel pump relay mounted properly rather than in the 'bundle'?

Spend,
car is a late 94 500 serpentine engine model, built for the Australian market, the only difference electrically is seperate relay and fuse for both cooling fans plus an extra relay for main beam (in the auxillary relay panel).
I think the front loom though was originally made for the Chimaera as it has the 6 relay auxillary relay panel behind the dash (not the usual 2), plus ETB gauges as per Chimaera and the loom has wiring for Chimaera headlights, the wiring for the Griffith main beams has been added after the loom was constructed as the wiring is only partially taped into the loom running through the passanger wing and nose.
Think this tip may be more relavent to Chimaera owners.
