ERG Wires = squirels ate!!!

A squirel ate my ERG wires to the numb. I was able to pull the wires & splice new wires, BUT like a fool I forgot to write down what colors go to specific pins. It a 2004 6.0 d, so it has 5 wires. If someone can look at theirs & tell me what color go to what pin Facing the motor from left to right, I think the first is red, but that's I'll I can remember. Thanks

Looking over the front end at EGR valve:

Red, Brown/red, blue/red, White/red

This is the best picture I could get of the EGR wires. I think that second wire from left was brown/red.

Mine is 5 wire, colors are red, gray/red, grn/org, brn/wht & pnk/wht. The colors are hard to see. I need to charge the battery & try it again.

If you're standing at the front of the truck, looking down on the connector/valve, from left to right: RD, BN/WT, LB/OG, GY/RD, WH/PK.

You should see pin letters on the plug. Here is the way they are connected.

Pin A - WH/PK
Pin B - GY/RD
Pin C - LB/OG
Pin D - BN/WH
Pin E - RD

If you hold the connector with the locking tab up pin A should be on the left.

After you get the wires reinstalled, (1) buy pellet gun!!!

(2) Reduce squirrel population

I learned this trick after my engine harness had to be replaced..... they ain't cheap!

First tried humane ways and the squirrels decided I was stupid. Wally World had a sale on pellet guns.... Bud 100, squirrels 0 ..... who doesn't have a squirrel problem anymore?
