Its the brown one

Bought one over the weekend

The one to swap it over with to give correct reading is the black one.

The outer one is for ECU, and that you should not touch.

The inner one is for instrument cluster, and that one you should swap to one that is suitable for your instrument cluster (1 or 2 wire, depending on exact model).
