No, Im sorry, thats not what I meant. The power supply for the ECU brain comes from the EZK socket. The power for the DFUs comes from a fixed 12V source on plug W pin 22. The switched power in question would be coming from pin 15 (I think, I cant remember off the top of my head), which is switched by the LH relay. I don't believe that the brain draws that much current at all, but I suppose I can figure out where the old LH/EZK power wires came from and tap those wires and leave all relays intact, if you think that is a better option.
The reason I want new plugs is because I want to make a new harness that I can drop directly in to replace the somewhat kludgey one I have now. Essentially, after the fire, the sheriff said that my car was "abandoned" despite the fact that I told them otherwise. Since it didn't run, they wanted to tow it, so I had to get it up and running as swiftly as possible. Now that it runs fine, the pressure is off, and I would like to make a proper harness that elegantly and neatly fits into the engine bay, and has connectors at key points which will make removal and installation simple. This will also give me a spare harness, as I will disassemble the old one and remake it in the same dimensions, etc, as the new one. As I have a spare block, the extra harness might come in handy anyway someday, so I would need a second set of plugs V and W to complete that harness.
