240 blower motor switch 200

here is the situation:
i've decided to tackle replacing the dead and lifeless blower motor in my recently acquired 245. ordered the kit from ipd. new motor, new resistor, new switch. dis assembly went smoothly enough, and i have been piecing things back together easily too until this: the wiring harness connecting the resistor to the switch. as i was putting all things back into place i could see no way to feed the plastic side that mates with the switch through the round hole in the heater box area. i decided the easiest way to continue was by backing the individual wires out of the plastic harness and feeding the wires individually through. at this point i used the original harness (which had been cut out and replaced shortly before) to determine which color went into which slot. problem solved (i thought), and on went reassembly. now i am at the point where i need to plug this harness into the switch and bolt the center console back into place, only to find all but one of the wires have been yanked from their sleeves while i was fitting things back together. I have been unable to find any references so far. i have one white wire with a red stripe, one white wire with a black stripe, one solid white wire, one solid brown wire, one solid black wire and one red wire. the switch has numbered posts 1-6. could someone pleeeease inform me as to which color ought to connect to which post? looking at the back of the switch post number one is the lowest, at six o'clock. the numbers climb in order as you move counter clockwise. the car also has factory ac, i think i read that added an extra wire somewhere.
thank you in advance! i'd like to get my car back on the road!
