Windshield washer tank plug?

I dont have my original washer tank anymore so I need to use an universal one. I´ve searched the forum and looked in the manual but dont get any wiser.

So, does anyone know which plug it is that I would use to connect my new tank to?

Near driver side headlight. Filler neck would have been underhood, near battery. Most of the reservoir (including plug) would be accessible in front of wheel, behind wheelwell liner.

edit: some cars had it on opposite side. If I find a decent pic, will post.

See my sig below, or search for the wiring diagram online. Use it to check plug type, pin qty. and wiring colors.

The plug should be square and contain 4 wires which are Blue, Blue/Orange, Black and a Green wire.

The other two wires tell the idiot lights when the tank is low on fluid. Thus there are probably two plugs for the tank.
