Are you sure we are talking about the same model? My manual for the SDX 
series shows only a 6 pin connector, while the DXA series uses a 7 pin 
connector. From the outside they look very similar and it would be easy 
to confuse the two.

Also, the DXA manual shows the wiring inside the motor housing, whereas 
the SDX manual does not. I think that's why Tom posted the question in 
the first place, for which I do not have an answer.
