Pretty sure they're something like brown with a stripe (don't recall the color), pink/blk, and red; on pins A B & C respectively. I could be wRong though. (and mistaken on this particular point besides) It's been acoupla months since I replaced my CMPS.

Sounds to me like you're probably gonna need a new pigtail. Those little terminals don't take too well to be yoinked outta their housing.
