This comment is a bit tardy since I was without wifi for a couple of weeks.
A few years back, before I abandoned the Onan, I rewired the engine side
completely. I was surprised at how much excess wire is used in the OEM
harness. By eliminating the 12-pin connector and wiring to match the
wiring diagram, I probably eliminated 2/3 of the total wire length. Most
of the original wires run strange routes and are far longer than required;
most of that due to production considerations, such as the 12-pin
connector. With the new color coded wires, it was much easier for me to
understand the system and troubleshoot it. I'd forgotten until now that
these photos exist:

or

The colors I used are those on this revised wiring diagram (which is
equally applicable to 6kW):
