the connectors above the arrow are not compatible. But I have checked the pinouts and it's possible to splice in the part below the arrow, thus changing out all the wire and connectors in the area where engine heat causes insulation breakdown and connector failure. The harness is inexpensive. Using just the lower portion appears to be a cost effective repair for an AMU.
