Hi there, I picked up a nice 04 Forester 2.5x in pretty good shape. 197k on it, head gaskets and timing belt done sometime between 100 and 130k. Runs great.

I got an ABS light on, fixed a couple of sensor problems at the wheels, last code I'm getting is DTC-52, "Abnormal Motor and / or Motor Relay".

So I found the ABS PDF document online, leads me to SBF-1 voltage problem, repaired corrosion issue in the underhood fuse block, however, low voltage still present at pin 25 at the ABS module connector. According to the wiring diagram there are a couple additional connectors in the circuit between the SBF-1 and the connector at the ABS module.

My question is does anyone have knowledge of where the connectors may be located in the wiring harness?
