TBW Connection

Ok, I have the "accessory" TBW harness (has no green connector).
Now, instead of the nice colors I can follow in my Service manual for the hook up, I have 2-reds, 2-blacks, 2-white wires.. Does anyone know the sequence for hooking these up? I know it's a reduntant set up, but just need to know the sequence...
thanks!

It's been a while since I did this but assuming that you have the old twist grip sensor, lay them side by side, make sure that they are indexed appropriately (line up the notches on the sensors) and mark the new wires with the same colors as your old wires. Then everything will match the diagram. If you don't have the old one, it's going to be a bit more complicated.

Had same problem a year ago and you guys were great! I thought by now HD might have put a small slip of paper in the box with the match-up. Wishful thinking I guess.
