Relay boay harness... Is this right?

Back in action after taking a few months off to gather engine parts disassemble, inspect, install new stuff, etc etc...

I made my MS to relay board harness this last weekend, and I'm hoping it's right... I followed the instructions on this page: http://www.bgsoflex.com/mspower/relay-cable.html, esentially soldering the wire from the corresponding pin to the same # pin on the other connector...

If this is correct, I think I'm ok, although I do have one question... The instructions say pin #19 is important because it's the return wire for the sensor... The MS harness I bought from DIY did not have a wire on pin 19, but did have a black w/ wht stripe wire on pin 17, that I soldered to pin 17 on the relay board connector... Is this right?

Pin 19 on the *relay board* is used as a sensor return. The relay board's pin 19 may connect to any MS ground pin, but pin 19 on the relay board cannot be left floating.

So if I got you right, I can just solder a wire from the relay board connector pin 19 to any of the unused pins on the MS connector that the instructions say can be used for additional ground wires?

That is correct.
