Good Morning helpful friends - I have a question about wiring. The photos in the instructions for the wires and what I received are backwards.

In the instructions, the wiring goes, from left to right, Black - Green - Red - White.

My wiring harnesses are the opposite:

From left to right, they go White - Red - Green - Black.

I have tried, they do only plug in one way. When I am wiring them to the control panel, would I follow the instructions as written, or switch the wires around to be how they are in my harnesses?

White = Black  
Red = Green  
Green = Red  
Black = White

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Eric Nalian

I don’t think it will matter in the end.

When you run Easel setup, it will help you correct your directions to overcome any wiring differences.

Thanks justin - I was just afraid that I would fry something if a plugged a + into a + or a something was backwards.
