So basically all we need to do is make sure the colors match?

Plugging into the lower extension.
The upper has a different plug and won't insert although that would be "cleaner".

I ended up swapping the pins at the sensor end of the Katech harness so I could get the wire color match and upper plug to latch.

Plug

You can not just plug the sensor in the other way. The plug will only go together one way.

Not true, if you are talking about the firewall connector and they have not changed it.

Well on my Trans Am I could not just turn the plug around because I would have done it......would have been a little easier, but reversing the wires wasn't that bad.Traver
