Answer

Hi. The IDI Motor wiring in the plug itself is # 1 pin = BR/WH. #2 is = RD/WH. #3 is = Not used. #4 is = not even there (the center open terminal). The #5 is = GRY. The #6 is = not used. The # 7 is = Blue. Looking at the Terminal connector itself, there is a flat top and the bottom 2-outer locating edges. Having said all this, the # 1 pin is the one on the right with the flat on the top and the rt. lower locater edge is facing you. So pin # 7 is on the Lt. and the pin # 1 is on the right. Then the connector only plugs onto the top of the motor. So it will be correct. Thank You.
