OK...sorry....on the right hand side on the timer there are 4 wires looks like this
_
wire(white)
wire(white,going into plastic piece)
W
_
wire(tan)
wire(tan, going into plastic piece)
opening of plastic piece(no wire)
connector for wire(but nothing attached)
T

So it seems T already doesn't have anything attached....but maybe I'm reading it wrong...Also I tried to pull the top wire(white) and the plastic piece would not let it come all the way out....I was afraid to pull this off....Does it just come off??......Thanks again for all the help......

I did not mean the color of the wires. All timer terminals should have a letter marks as shown on the timer picture on the wiring diagram sheet.

So we are talking about two timer terminals, marked "T" & "W".

Yes...I understand you were talking about the letter marks..But as I showed in the previous thread there are 2 wires that connect above the "W" and both seemed to be related to the "W". At the bottom right on the timer there is a "T". Directly above the "T" there is a terminal that does not have a wire going into it, and directly above that is an opening of this plastic piece that also does not contain a wire.....So, does this mean the "T" is already removed or is it the other two wires above that??....Hope this makes sense.......

Thanks...

Gene

Sorry, I can not understand what is the "plastic piece".

If you can post a couple of timer pictures, it will help me to see what is going on with the timer.
