RABS = Rear ABS only, 4WABS = 4 wheel ABS.
To make it simpler, just look through all the wires in the connectors at the GEM. You want the one that is gray with a black stripe. There's only one like that.

Although i still have a small 1/4-1/8" gap at the back of the OHC from when i origianlly had it cut and mounted....So i need to seal up that gap or else, i still have a peice of headliner, so i may seperate the carpet from that and see if i can glue ir or something.....
I dont know what to do....i cant post a pic either

I had a small area with gap of about 1/8 inch on the passenger side of my OHC after install. I dropped the passenger side visor, removed the grab handle on that side and carefully slid a piece of the headliner I had cut off near the console on the INSIDE of the headliner. This slight "filler" material closed the gap and it looks great no bulges or anything. No glue, no mess.

But the whole back is gapped a lil it, so i probably need to slide 2 peaces in or so?? Will it have enough resisitence to bulge it out good???
How did u stick it in there? With a hanger?

Yeah its tight too....As tight as it can go...I probably need to re-drill and move the ohc up maybe 1" or so, but man i have a crap load of holes in it already, im tired or drilling....Im gonna try and shove something in there to bulge it down

I shoved in the piece of headliner with a plastic ruler. It flexes a little and with the visor and grab handle dropped you have some wiggle room, I was able to gently pull down on the headliner, just be careful it can wrinkle easily. I loosened the OHC as well, you might have to move the piece around a few times till you get the right spot covered. Just push it in the area where you need it. I went in from the front by the rearview mirror.
Take your time and its not bad at all.
