Tom-

Please understand that I'm speculating here, I don't have any direct knowledge of the situation.

Due to tax considerations and "national interests", many countries required a local content factor in cars. France does have a history of protectionism, so it is very likely that the wiring harness fell into that category. What other non-standard features does your car have? Does it have the side turn signal lights that were required in many countries?

Are there specific areas where the harnesses differ in layout, or is it the color-coding that is at odds?

Give us the source of the problems, and maybe we can help ponder it.
