2002 Jaguar XK8 - Transmission Wiring Loom/Access

There's a loooong story and I won't bore all you good people with it. Maybe the truth (lol) will come out in the thread 😃
I am unfamiliar with much when it comes to the transmission on the 2002 xk8. And associated model ranges.
There is a large circular electronic connector that comes off of the side rear of the 5hp24 transmission. It clips onto the LH rear area,,, a bundle of wires going into the trans... Connector brings loom from exterior to interior.
Q: where do they lead and is there anyway to access the internal connecting points without digging deeply into the trans? Is there an access panel/cover that can be removed to inspect?

You guys are the best!
sorry for the late reply...
I have a looooong awaited engine swap... a long wait. Anyways, when I removed the engine from a 2000xk8 with just 37k miles, I accidentally put a ton of stress on the loom, so much it yanked off the clip and pulled, what essentially is a big plug (double orings for trans fluid and fluid area) and wire loom plug itself, away from and out its housing... Ill try and send a photo. Anywho - since, I have been very worried that I might have damaged all or some out of site and reach connections inside of the transmission body... That photo (thanks) eases my mind a bit, for some reason. Still, the engine is not in the car and now might be a good time to drop the pan and have a look. Trans fluid is going to have to be replaced anyways. I might as well.
