    Define "burned". Pics would help but we will need a machine serial number also.

    serial number is GCP01271, Previous owner must have been a orchard owner as it was full of dead leaves which caused the fire by the turbo, burned 2 holes in fuel tank and then traveled forward and basicly burned 3 wire harness ,engine,chassis, ac wire harness replaced those 3 harness and a few hydralic lines , i was able to trace the plugs and corespond with the wire colors on all conectors except for 3, pretty sure i have the connectors in right places as the harness doesnt give a lot of room to not plug them in right but i have 2 spare plugs that i dont have a place for and these plugs are up close to main valve bank,, I think i need some of these codes cleared but dont know how to do that. there is a place for a 3 prong relay on the harness by the ecm, this plug is in a relay cover but no relay and cant find thid on sis, so not sure if it a active plug or not kinda pussled why there isnt a rely in it though. any ideas and help is greatly apreciated.

    Sounds like an electrical schematic would help. I'll send you one.
