Hell . I would not know where to even look for that. Would that be plugged into the controller?Here, I'm talking about the connector for your brake inhibitor..

Here you go guys. It's none of the above. It's a flat 2 pin JST plug.
A good bike tech isn't going to spend two hours digging into the bike like that. He'll just splice the wires from the old brakes to the new brakes and cover them with heat shrink.
The other thing you can do, if you want hydraulic brakes is to install cable activated calipers. The Catazer calipers are two bits on amazon, look snazzy, but I hear they're too cheap and leak.

It's not a 1:4 or 1:5 molded harness to the handlebars. so there won't be a Higo or Julet connection.
You are right. I unwound the wrap and the wires go all the way into the frame.Okay so, yeah, looks like it's directly attached to the controller.
LMT’D controller replacement pictures
' I received my replacement controller due to Error 21 for my 2nd Ed gen LMT’D this week... just installed it in less than 15-20minutes but thought I would share some photos. One tip: there are 4short screws and 1longer. The longer one is the one which is by itself at the base of the battery...electricbikereview.com
I guess swapping out the calipers will have to do. I have no complaints about stopping power, I did brake tests and average distance was 14ft which is great I think. I have changed pads and still the brakes are loud.
