Help wiring OHC - GEM module question

My GEM module seems to look different than on the 2 guides I've read. (Mossyoak's guide and the CarDomain guide).
First, the bottom of my GEM module is not divided into 2 harnesses like on the pics I've seen, and I don't have a red/blue wire coming out of the bottom of my module at all. I only have red/black and red/pink.
I do see a red/blue wire on the other harness at the top left of this picture. What should i do? Use the red/black? Or use the red/blue on the top left harness?

Also, my "yellow/black" coming out of my module is actually yellow/gray. Just verifying that this is the wire I need to tap for the yellow/gray coming from the OHC.



I have a 98 by the way.

for the speed sensor hook up to the grey/black coming from the GEM

the blue/red that you hook up to comes from your radio harness for the light dimmer

ok so the gray/black wire is the only GEM tap I need to make, correct?

Are you saying the red/blue and yellow/black are part of the radio and NOT the GEM module?

Yes gray/black from GEM

blue/red and yellow/black from the radio harness

this is from mossy oaks how-to
https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...c-install.html


Black (BK) - ground (mounted to the mounting bracket)
Yellow/Gray (YE/GY) - console electronics power (goes behind the radio)
Blue/Red (BL/RD) - console display dimmer input (goes behind the radio)
Green/Orange(GN/OR) - Map light power (goes to the dome light)
Black/Blue(BK/BL) - Dome light power (goes to the dome light)
Lt. Blue/White (BL/WH) - Temp sensor (front of the truck)
Lt. Blue/Yellow (BL/YE) - Temp sensor (front of the truck)
Gray/Black (GY/BK) - speed sensor (not used by some, but necessary) (goes behind the radio.
then i ran the yellow/gray, blue/red, and gray/black wires through the headliner.
