O2 sensor help

Well, someone clipped off the pigtail that connects to the back O2 sensor on my 02 TJ. I think it happened at my wifes work (police department). Comforting, huh?

ANYWAY...

I bought a new pigtail at the dealership, but all the wires are the same color. Can someone post up a picture of the pigtail so I can get the wiring correct? This is the pigtail that plugs into the BACK O2 sensor. The pigtail that's actually on the sensor, is still there.

Thanks!

The reason the wires are the same color is that it doesn't matter. Butt them together and fly.

Really? I'm not doubting you, but I don't want to screw something up. It's a heated O2 sensor, right? Don't at least the 2 pre-heat wires have to be in the right spot?

Not offended. If you have doubt you must always ask. Also ask you nearest jeep service department. Typically they should be happy to help you.
I am also surprised that the pig tail didn't come with instructions.
Keep us updated on the outcome.

On that the polarity or hookup doesn't matter. Just make sure you have a good strong connection. I always take the extra time and solder them, and they make a heat shrink that has silicon in so when it shrinks it is really water proof.
