Default Wiring to the rear active suspension

Hi,
I have a Jaguar XK8 coupe from 1997.
I need to lower the complete rear axel of my car to sort out some corrosion problems.
My car has the active suspension so I need to disconnect the electric wiring before lowering the rear axle but I can not find the cables or connections.
I have tried to find pictures on the internet or some explanation. In the workshop handbook I have it just say disconnect the wire.
Can anyone help?
Best regards
Daniel​​

Just reach up on top of each spring top you will feel the plug. There is generally enough slack to allow lowering slightly first if you prefer.
