Default Rcm

Received repaired RCM from tighed1 yesterday. Went out this morning all excited to get it reinstalled.
Well I'm a dumb *** ! Grabbed first wires to plug in to the RCM and they came out of the clip holding them in there proper place. They are the first set of wires # 1-2-3-4 closest to cowl. They are color coded.
I need to know which colored wire goes in slots 1-2-3-4

Thanks for any help,
Firemanken

There are 5 plugs, all are different and all will only go in one way.

I take it that the wires came out of the plug itself...?

Thanks everyone for the help on getting those pins in the correct order (male ends) to plug back in to my repaired RCM from tighed1.
Replaced RCM car started, idled in driveway for 20 min. Didn't want to have it stop running again on highway.
Well it ran for 20 min. Then stopped running. Same mo. All eletrical worked, car would crank no start.
Waited 1/2 hr. Car started ran again 20/30 min. STOPPED again.
Something else must be going on. Any ideas ? It's making me nuts! Cars been down 3 weeks now
Help!

Crank sensor or low fuel pressure.
Put in your spare Crank position Sensor, if that does not to it, measuring fuel pressure would be a good idea.

Get one here:

Dont' buy generic crap from Autozone, etc. Buy the right part. I carry a spare, have carried a spare since 2010 and used it twice, once for me, once for a guy at a meet.

Replaced crank case sensor as advised! That did the trick.
Car is running good, BUT now the check engine light is on.
Bought a Autel A319-OBDll code reader to check engine light code. Plug on reader doesn't connect with car OBD plug.
Is there an adopter to buy to make the connection?
Thanks again For any help.

You are trying to connect it with the plug properly aligned and you have opened the cover of the cars OBD port?

Confusion reigns in your posts, This thread is the third to which you have replied or started and this one has not been added to before you since 2017.
You talked about the one plug and that was what the answer given to you referred to, you just added the details of all the plugs.

I’m sorry to be such a problem. I do have Chemo Fog from Multiple Myeloma. I do make mistakes . I don’t have any experience with a Forum. Don’t have any help here to make sure I message things correct. The thing about 2017 was just something for us to remind ourselves of helping back then.. was a bad choice I guess, sorry. I had the multiple posts because I didn’t know what I was doing, sorry again.
