Ah unless you mean the other 9 position connector that has only 7 wires (P40) - that should mate with a 7 of 9 connector (J40) that carries audio from the AR2

Maybe your J40 is plugged in to you P55 (coin door 9 position that has all 9 wires)

This 10.3 is from pin 1 of the 15 position connector on the brick and that's what feeds the PCB on edge connector E. The same supply goes to the AR2 on different wires and makes 5v, so it 'must be' a harness issue.
