Fuel heater plug

This morning my truck started fine. Went back in the house to let it warm up and finish getting ready for work. Went outside and it was not running. Went to restart but no luck. Got home and sure enough #22 fuse is blown.

I know I need to unplug the fuel heater but I can't remember which wire goes to the fuel heater and which one goes to the water in fuel sensor. Can a senile old fart get a friendly reminder?

The water in fuel sensor is the very bottom one. The fuel bowl heater is the next one up.
