It won't -- too many vermin were coming through.

Top bolt -- two greens, from magic box and LED panel.
Next -- yellow from magic box
Next -- white from magic box
Bottom -- double black from wiring harness.

The doubled-back black from the magic box is unused.

With an empty tank but everything wired, grounding second bolt to bottom
should show red LED.  Second and third to bottom yellow, all three to
bottom (or just top for that matter) green.

Wire it up right and take another picture -- I'll post it on my website for
future reference...
