EDIT: I apologize, I found the answer on the 25th page of @tallbm original guide. It ended up being black to blue and white to red for anyone who finds this thread and is looking for the same answer.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been reading this forum for the past few months and it has helped me dial in my MES 40. I smoke a lot of summer sausage and snack sticks and the temp swings in the MES were killing me. I finally bought an Auber PID and I’m working on rewiring the MES to bypass the controller. I was using @tallbm guide and our wire configurations are a bit different. Can anyone tell me which wires on mine are plug hot, plug neutral, rollout limit/heating element hot, and the heating element neutral wire? The thing that is tripping me up is that his white wire is going into the relay at the top while my black wire is going there. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and I apologize if this has already been covered for the gen 3 with my wiring configuration.

Glad you found your answer, @RyderB.

That's a pretty big thread and it can be easy to miss something. I've thought about the idea of separating all the posts with photos and any relevant posts specific to those photos into a separate thread but that could be a daunting task. And @tallbm isn't around as much as he used to be and his help would definitely be needed.

Also there are some completely separate threads from the main one dealing with rewiring that would need to be cleaned up and merged into this too.
