Default FC3 connector on 2000 s-type

I am having trouble with my aux water pump not turning on and I have traced a bad connection between the climate control module connector and relay #5 but the manual says there is a connector called FC3 inbetween and that it is green and located at the bottom of the "A" pole under the trim. I cant find this green 16 pin connector... Can anyone tell me exactly where it is located?

Thanks

I found it I thought when you sit in the car the "A" pole was on the left hand side and maybe it is ? Not sure, but if the "B" pole is on the right that's where FC3 connector is. It's behind the panel at the right side of the dashboard accessed by opening the passenger door, panel has the airbag sticker on it.
FC4 and FC5 are on the other side panel on the left of the dashboard with others as well FC6 and FC7 maybe.. Not sure.

The A pillar is the windshield pillar, and you have a left and right.

The electrical diagrams usually have a harness layout diagram at the beginning.

I just rechecked the diagram..

Why did they have two "A" posts, i assumed that the othe one was a "B" post.

Could have saved myself some time if I knew that they were both "A"

Sorry i assumed, thanks.

There are two B posts, too.
It's just the way someone once referred to them I guess, and it's good enough...

I have a good connection from the climate control module to FC3 but, from FC3 to relay #5 in the engine compartment is a bad connection which is why the Aux water pump is not working.

I think I will have to put a new wire and just disconnect the old one because I can't trace where the wire (brown blue) is on the engine harness, I think it may run through the front bumper ?

It was raining today so I didn't work on it but I will let you know

Yes, the connection between FC3-2 (brown blue wire) and relay #5 was why the aux water pump was not working, strung a new wire from those two points today and cut the old wire, aux water pump works now
