Wiring harness help

Full disclosure, I trimmed my harness before the videos came out and I'm pretty sure I trimmed too much. I was deployed for six months so I'm picking up this project where I left off. I left myself bread crumbs to follow just in case, but I need help.

I have an 05 SS/SC

First, I must have cut the battery current sensor part of the harness, because I don't have the connector. I thought I saved every connector regardless if I needed it, but I guess not. If anyone can tell me which wires on the bcm/giant plugs are for that connector that would be awesome since I'll have to wire one up.

Second, in the assembly videos I just want to make sure I'm wiring the large red power steering wire correctly because the large red plug on the BCM in the video is blocked. It's going from:

to the bottom left of the red BCM plug in the picture, with the giant red fuse in between, correct?

Third, what is the light green wire for in the top left of this fuse box plug? I forgot to label it yesterday when I was working.

Fourth, I trimmed the parking brake switch out, but turns out I needed it. It's a light blue wire that gets extended, but since I cut it back at a junction block or a connector, it would be great to know how long to make it total, as well as which pin the wire comes from.

The large red power steering wire can be hooked up directly to the battery (I did mine through a 60 AMP inline fuse). The stock wire would have ran to the main fuse block (back of car). The power steering does not draw any power unless the key is on.

I'm trying to just follow the instructions because I'm picking up the pieces here, but is my assumption is correct?

Do you have a battery current sensor?

Do you have any help regarding the parking brake sensor I mentioned or the light green wire?

I don't have a battery sensor as my SS/SC does not come with one from the factory. I'll have to look and see about the green wire, I don't recall that one except one that went to the rear lights I think.

Okay so the parking brake wire is the only light blue wire cut from the bcm connector, so that should be fine.

New issues though:

-My low coolant plug is on the main harness which isn't mentioned in the videos, so I'll just route it towards the fuse box for now.
-I have two ground lugs on my body harness, but in video 12 it looks like their grounds still have lots of stuff attached. I don't know if this is an issue because the only things grounded on my harness are the low coolant plug on one lug and the bcm on another.
-My harness doesn't have a "purple and black multiplug" for the engine, it just has its own fuse box block and a pcm connector.

The videos are really well done, but I think an 05 SS might be a lot different.

Whoops, I do actually have the black and purple multiplug, It was just tucked in near the fuse box. That's a relief.
