Ryan-
  I have no means to supply a photo, but can tell you what is on my 16V;
Directly below the main connector stud, there are two smaller studs.  =
The first of the smaller studs, the one in the middle, has a wire =
connected to it that runs into the same cable cover as the main cable.  =
The third (lowest) stud has a wire connected to it (brown wire) which =
goes to the AC compressor (in my case).  I believe a brown wire usually =
indicates a ground, so if you do not have AC, it may go to a chassis or =
engine grounding point.
hope this helps.
