High Idle help

The 4 wires in the middle of the pic that are wrapped on the ends are the wires I need to be working with correct? I'm using the diesel stop post but can't get the pics.

OK so I found the uplifter wires and assumed the ones in the pic are correct. Got them hooked together--solid orange to orange/light blue--started truck, flipped #4 lifter and nothing--I'm stumped.

Up and running--it's a beautiful thing
Reading the diesel stop site I was a little confused and had the solid or and and orange/light blue swapped ie: right color wrong bundle. I kept colors and swapped bundles and good to go. I'll write up an explication with pics a bit later for any others that may get confused.

Using the Diesel stop site for the high idle mod for 2005-2006 I was a little confused as to the wires to hook up. What I found out (at least for me) it was easy to pick the correct wires but not the correct harness (It could just be me) So for those like myself here you go.

The SEIC solid orange wire is not the orange wire in the bundle that is ALL orange wires with different strips but is the one in the bundle furthest back under the dash and amongst many different colored wires. Note there is a wire that is orange with red stripe that looks like solid orange.
SEIC wire--bundle may or may not have the label tag







Now for the uplifter switch these wires are in the bundle closest to the dash and is where you would pick the orange and light blue wire (for #4 switch) These wires are the open wires closest to the main RED bundle that connects to the fuse box.

Uplifter switch wires




Hope this is helpful to someone--I know it took me two tries to get it right lol
