EI US8A Pinout help!!!

I recently purchased a used US8A that had the circular connectors cutoff. I ordered new ones and pins and need to install. Unfortunately the instructions don’t have the wire colors of the wires going to the sensor harnesses so I don’t know which wires go to which pin locations.

Anyone have one lying around that can tell me the Pinout for the sensor harness?

Thanks!!!

I have one siting in the basement, but don't pages 25 and 33 of the pdf below give you what you need?

It doesn’t show the color of the wires between the harness and the gauge for the sensor connections. See attached pic.

I need the pin location for sensor side wire pairs:
Light blue
Light yellow
Dark yellow
Orange
Red
Brown
White/purple
White/gray

Thanks!!!

I see. I'll post back later.
 
Page 32 and 33 have the colors.

1 = red
2 = black
3 = White/Yellow
4 = White/Brown
5 = White/Red
6 = White/Orange

The probe connections are there too.
That’s for the nine pin connector. Not the 2 x 16 pin connectors (which are identical). It only shows the wire colors incoming for sensors 1-8 (red and yellow). But not the colors of the wires going from the 16 pin connector to the gauge.
 
I see your dilemma now, but I don't think I can solve this. Sorry for thinking I could. There is some magic going on under those black sleeves, at least on mine, since there are 18 wires between the US-8A and the sleeve, and only 16 between the sleeve and the connector. The colors don't match either. On mine, blue and green go into the sleeve, but neither come out. Only one brown goes in, but 4 brown come out.

I think you'll need EI to help you. They've always been great whenever I called them.
