The front harness supplies power to the headlights. It connect to the fuse box through the firewall. Are you having a Headlight issue?

The fuse box is built like a receptacle. An inner and an outer.

Usually just a bolt or two removed from firewall side , and the firewall side of the wire harness will come unplugged from fuse box.

I lost headlights and some other associated things in my van once - without any notice.
Had some bad corrosion inside when unplugged harness from fuse box.
