Default C4 '86 SES Connector

Hi everyone,

I've got a '86 C4 Vette and the last two weeks got 2 times a ses warning on the display.
Now I read about the paper clip method to pull the codes and went to work. The point is I've got the paper clip but I think I've got the only C4 without a ses connector...
The connector has to be under the dash right to the mid console but there's nothing there.
Does anyone know if there are some types C4 Vettes where this connector is placed in another spot ?
It's very strange but he really isn't there, I removed the covers under the dash but can't find anything.
Also can someone tell me what color wiring is attached to the ses connector ?

Thanks a lot.

In 86 it's right here. If it's not there then someone's done something.

Thanks guys for your help and time.
I found the connector following the colours on the wiring.
It seems that the pervious owner removed the connector from it's original place and hid it between the carpet of the center console.
I'm going to place it back on it's original place and next i'm going to try to pull some codes...

Thanks again for the help !!
