The part -87-850691/ It has a green wire, Blue wire, and red wire. Can I just unplug the wires and insert these to the nearest plug as shown in the first picture. On youtube someone stated you can’t use those but need to go to opposite side of engine and connect there, Of course the wire on plug is not long enough to go to other side. See switch picture. Then final question where do you plug in the red wire? Again only thing I can find on youtube is to splice it in on other side of engine. I really don’t want to splice it if I can get away without doing that.</h3></blockquote><p></p>
