07 700 dragon trying check tps setting found connector near shock tower with red/white wire and brown wire at the connector. When engine is running Im getting 14v at connector so I assume this would be the correct connector to jumper 12v power in for tps?

No that is the DC power test connector. It will not power the ECU. Look for a connector next to it that has an orange (+) and brown (-). It should state external power (EXT PWR) or ECU PWR.

There is also a red and brown on a smaller connector and a connector with three wires an orange a black/white and a black.
none of the three connectors at the shock tower are labeled at all whatsoever on my 07
If someone had a pic of an 08 and up I could compare with that would be helpful. I'm thinking 07 is a bit different.

I believe it's the connector with the 3 wires. The orange wire should mate up with the red wire on the power up cable. If you can wait, I double check the wiring schematic again tomorrow to make sure.

Yep that one works to power up ecu. Got my tps set no problem.
Thank you for the help. I went ahead and took a little mini sharpie and labeled all three of the connectors now that I know what they are all for.
