Default Blower motor resistor pigtail HELP!

Hey fellas, I have a 97 xj, my blower motor quit working and while digging through the dash I found he terminals for the resistor plug have been repaired by a previous owner and have failed. I ordered a new resistor and pigtail from dorman but am not sure what wires to splice what wires to, anyone have any pictures of their resistor plugs with the wires shown so I can splice this pigtail in? Thanks! -TJ

If you're blowing resistors and/or have melting connectors to the resistor then you probably have a bad blower motor that's drawing too much power.
