Can someone post the correct wire colors and their location on the heater timer plug. I have the correct switch with the six spade connections but unfortunately the previous owner pulled 4 of the wires out of the plastic plug on the heater harness. I need to know which color wire goes in each plug opening

I have looked thru them but I am not finding a clear picture of which wire goes in each slot

I don't have a "clear" picture either. But it looks like the terminals on the switch are labeled.

Perhaps you could answer a question for me. Maybe after you have a look at your switch you could post what the labels are. There are six terminals on the switch but only 5 connections to it.
30 - unswitched power - red, from downstream side of fuse 9
15 - switched power - black, from terminal 15 on the light switch
A - power from timer switch to heater - gray (terminal A on the J10 Safety Switch)
58a - power to lamp in timer switch knob - gray/red
31 - ground for lamp in timer switch knob - brown
So what's the sixth connector labeled? |

There's an error on the diagram. Where it mentions the black wire going to terminal 15 on the light switch - it should say terminal X on the light switch. So the black wire should go from terminal X on the light switch to terminal X on the heater timer switch. |
