With the tab facing up, list out the wire colors (main plus stripe) from one end to the other.

I can scan my 2001 FSM and see if anything matches.

Here are the two 7-pin radio connectors:

Radio C1 (Gray)
1. Empty
2. Light Green w/ Dark Green stripe OR Brown with Red stripe
3. Light Blue with Black stripe OR Dark Blue with Red stripe
4. White
5. Orange
6. Red with White stripe
7. Pink

Radio C2 (Black)
1. Dark Green with Red Stripe
2. White with Red stripe OR Brown with Yellow Stripe
3. Tan with Violet stripe OR Dark Blue with White stripe
4. Light Green with Violet stripe OR Dark Green
5. Light Blue with Violet stripe OR Violet
6. White with Black stripe OR Brown with Light Blue stripe
7. Tan with Black Stripe OR Dark Blue with Orange Stripe

Boy do I feel like an idiot It in fact was the brake switch harness. I even got under there and glanced around with a light, but it was about 40 below and snowing at the time so I didnt lay in on the wet floor boards. I can see where the factory fiber wrap failed that held it to the harness mount, and I must've yanked it out with my foot somehow while driving. Would this potentially contribute to a brake incident code in the ABS system as well?

I probably wouldnt have noticed 'til spring or when I got pulled over that my tail lights weren't working as I drive it in the dark very rarely. Thanks for finding it for me! I owe you a beer or a few if we're ever in the same area! lol

Yep, that would give you an ABS code i do believe.

Glad we figured it out before you got pulled over or rear-ended for no brake lights and no tail lights.
