Active Grille Shutter Harness Connector Location

[DaveInSA]

Howdy All. Not sure if this is the right forum or if it should be in servicing...
My bronco has a DTC for having lost communication to the active grille shutter module. Does anyone know exactly where the connector for this is so I can check if it's actually plugged in? I have no idea what the previous owner has done, so it may just be disconnected and dangling.

You never know what people are thinking. I bought a used Saturn Sky that the remote key fob wouldn't work on. After investigating I found that some previous owner had unplugged the antenna module for some reason....

Thanks

@DaveInSA , Do you still have the Saturn Sky? For 11 years, I had a used 2007 Sky Red Line but I sold it in the fall so I could buy the Bronco. That Sky was a summer only car but it was a blast to drive. It's still winter time up here in the Northeast, so I don't yet miss the Sky. My hope is that I will not miss having a convertible when I buy a @Bestop_Team or @HavocOffroad for my Bronco.

Yes I do.
And yup. It's a blast to drive.

Very nice! Is that a manual gearbox, too?
I had the same two-tone tan and black seats. The original top was also tan. When the top wore out, I removed it and sent it to a South Carolina company to make a white twill top for me. After that, whether the top was up or down, the car turned a lot of heads.
(If I ever find a used BesTop, I will see if they will repeat the service for me with tan or white twill.)

Yup it’s a manual.
The tops are getting hard to find in good condition. My rear window was actually delaminating and I ended up gluing it myself cause no shops would touch it.
It’s at the point where if anything serious goes bad I’ll probably just dispose of it. Bought it from a friend and had it repainted, replaced the rear bumper, seats, windshield, brake calipers, pads, and rotors. Put almost as much in to it as it cost to buy in the first place.

I went to 5 different places. Most said it's too tricky or were fully booked with over a year of existing work.
I did it myself. GM's Kappa top is more difficult than a traditional convertible, but it would be easier if I had to do it again.
