An electrical connection position assurance system that includes a pair of electrically connected contacts (46) affixed on a pivotably mounted arm (16). When the arm (16) is moved to its engage position, the contacts protrude through respective openings (52) in a harness wire dress cover (12) to close a pilot circuit (56) that has terminals (54) mounted below openings (52). The pilot circuit (56) is operably connected to a computer circuit (66) which controls illumination of an indicator light (68) depending upon whether pilot circuit (56) is closed by contacts (46).

1. A harness connector for an electrical connection box having a header; said harness connector characterized by:a connector housing having an open end having a plurality of pin connections constructed to be releasably installed onto complementary pin connections of the header; a latching device constructed and arranged to slide linearly within the connector housing between an engaged position and a release position with the header for selectively retaining said connector housing to said header, the latching device having a curved recessed channel; an arm lever pivotably mounted onto said connector housing between a releasing and a lock position and operably connected to said latching device for moving the latching device between the engage and release positions, the curve of the recessed channel correlating with the pivotal direction of the arm lever; the header having a pin disposed within the recessed channel of the latching device; and said arm lever having two electrical contacts operably connected to an indicator circuit, wherein said arm lever is constructed to electrically connect said two electrical contacts when said arm lever is moved to its lock position to control the indicator circuit that indicates said arm lever has fully locked said connector housing in its installed position on said header.
