I know nothing about this connector ... so I answered the question 5 times
Hmmm. In my opinion, the stock external 15 pin connector is only helpful if you are using the parts of the leaf that make use of that connector, or you have a cable harness that includes the connector. I don't think that is likely if you are 're-using' the controller.
If you have a 15 wire pigtail, the ends have to land somewhere.
If there a high voltage junction box that this normally goes to, I'd vote for the pigtail.
If the 15 pin connector is for control stuff coming from the dashboard, keep the connector.
If some goes to the dash, some to the throttle, and some other places ... I'd stay with the pigtail since you will need a box for terminations and to open up for troubleshooting.
I don't think that will help your poll very much
