I then ran the wire to the new location on the male plug, crimped on molex connectors (link at the end), and put it in the necessary location for the MFT APIM. (eg., if pin 4 had a wire in it on the existing APIM male connector, I populated pin 4 on the female connector.) I soldered wires to the pins I kept and put them in the correct location to match up with what was on the existing connector. I then figured out what pins from my existing connector/harness needed to be brought over, and removed the rest from the connector that was attached to the board. For this step, it really doesn’t matter what vehicle the APIM came out of, because you’re just after the connectors. What I did, was take the casing off and use wire snips to remove the connector from the board. To do this, I ordered a Sync Module/APIM off of eBay that had the connector plug still in it, like this one: I took oemradio’s idea from the Mustang6g forum and decided to make my own “jumper harness” so that I wouldn’t have to mess with my OEM APIM plug, in case I broke anything (I am prone to being clumsy).
