edkjr, yes that looks a mess. On my Axis the BIRD is up front next to the Ford engine compartment fuse panel and the solenoid is next to it.
I found some guidance for replacing the BIRD with a BIM on another Thor site. Look at the bottom of the second page. According the thread, the edits are from Thor. It is for a different model of the BIM but the connections would be the same.
