I am bumping you because I would like to know what's up here too.

Do you have any wiring schematics ?

Thanks wvcat...
The schematics looks straight forward, looking at the harness pics.
All of the colors are there, there are two yellow wires but they both originate at the same point so it should not be a problem.
Speedranger, can you read the schematics OK ?

I would separate the harness and temporally hook up everything up before installing anything; see if you have the correct wires hooked up.
You may want to add some wire as necessary (if the OEM harnesses are short), sorter the connections, clean them up with alcohol and add heat shrink to all connections the kind with adhesive in it to make all connections water tight.
Since I suggested adding wire and soldering, before shrinking the heat shrink, re-test everything to make sure it is all hooked up OK. I am not sure but if there are no connectors, then you will have to wait to finish up on some of the soldering but re-test everything before installing to be on the safe side.
Label all wires (oh ya - TAKE PICS), install and it should work out OK.

Take your time and do it right the first time.
Route the wires away from sharp edges, tape up or tie-wrap the harness even add a label along the harness stating what it is and where it is going is not a back idea for future reference.

Good Luck and let the site know what happens and post the pics you will be taking.

ltr,
