Default Help! Wiring gurus (Dawg Maybe?)

I got my 12" PYO bagger monkey bars. Yahoo!! As others have said they are a huge PIA to wire. I passed on buying the TBW sensor without the green plug. (Yes, I know I am a dumbass). While pulling the wires the green plug literally broke apart, not disconnected, broke apart. I reassembled to try to figure out what wire colors matched and then soldered the wires. The colors don't match so I had to go with the orientation of the plug to try to figure what went with what. Not having matching wire colors is the stupidest thing I have ever seen, btw. Does anyone know the matching colors? I would like to verify. If I have it wrong I will probably buy the other sensor then pull the wires and start over but after 2 hrs of work to wire these bars I really don't want to do that.

Here is how I have it connected.
Gray sheath from the sensor
TBW sensor - Harness
White - Blue
Red - Dark Grey
Black - Black

Yellow Sheath from the sensor
TBW Sensor - Harness
Red - Red
White - Purple
Black - Lt Grey

Sounds like a helluva mess...

Do you have a service manual?

Yeah, but it doesn't show that on the schematic.

Looks like the following according to the manual

Black/Grey to Grey
Violet/Yellow to Yellow
Red/White to Red
Black/White to Black
Blue/Green to Blue
Brown/Orange to Brown

Here is a PDF link to the wiring diagram

I really appreciate the replies! I have a manual and can read the schematic. Mine says the same as above. Now here is the reality. I have two sheaths of wires coming out of the sensor to the green connector in the bars. One is a yellow sheath and one is a gray sheath. They both have a red, white and black wire. There is also another wire that is not connected to anything. The wires coming from the harness to the connector match the diagram blue, black, dk gray or brown, red purple, gray. What I am calling dark gray is probably brown.

So the wires don't match on both sides of the green connector.

I think I am going to just partially assemble and see what happens. I aligned based on my best guess at reassembling the switch.

THANK YOU Swoopjr! I soldered it correctly! Now if I didn't damage anything pulling the wires through I am in good shape!
Thanks again!
