Who the heck thought it was a good idea to make both wires yellow? This is the factory wires going to the sink. They are in the connector.

It worked when I took it apart but that was so long ago and I did not mark them. Anyone else run into this?

The faucet contains a switch that completes a circuit, which provides power to the pump. Doesn't matter which way the wires are connected.

Embarassed Embarassed fixed a guys boat once with all blue wiring- now that was a problem- but like they said -- all yellow doesn't matter- it just stops a circuit- not a positive / negative issue - just a yes or no issue.
