SL/R230: That old ABC thing again...

That old ABC thing again...
Hello all,
My 2005 SL500 needed a valve block rebuild (a touch of the sagging corner; ABC light would come on when started but I could get rid of the warning by raising and lowering the car)
Problem is after I got the front unit out and used the X8R rebuild kit I noticed that the colours had come off the wiring loom. Now the wiring loom is shaped as such that they are directed to the correct solenoid but to be on the safe side does anyone have the wiring diagram that shows which wire colour goes to which solenoid?
The other issue is that one of the two locking solenoids (the locking one I believe) has a broken electrical connector shroud. I should be able to glue it back together and heat shrink / tie wrap it back on securely but any tips on the would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and Beers
Dave

I can take you a picture or two of mine, if this will help.
I have my front bumper off (installing a bigger intercooler) so i can see the valves and connectors really well.
