I replaced the water valve on my Bosch diswasher(see picture DSCF2284.jpg). When I removed the old valve, I inadvertently pulled the green wire off from where ever it was attached before I could note where it should go. The green wire is a double wire connected to the valve - one green/yellow stripe wire goes into a wire bundle and the other solid green is my question - any idea where that wire goes or how I could find out. The other two wires from the water valve go to a terminal box with two open slots(see picture DSCF2285.jpg). With electronic circuit boards in the machine, I don't want to attach it to the wrong slot for fear of burning out the control box. I did the control fault testing with the wire loose and it showed a "4" - In the manual says that means "Water switch cannot be positioned." I have the wiring diagram for my Bosch, but it might as well be written in Chinese - can't understand it (see wiring diagram). Please help? harelt attached the following image(s):

I have scoured the diswasher within reach of the green wire and can only find the two connectors in the picture. Is there any way to tell which is the ground?
The four connectors in the picture are part of the drain pump!

I am unable to find a location for the solid green wire to connect. I originally thought it must connect to the terminals on the Drain Pump, but pictures I have been able to find show the two end terminals empty.
Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Well the first picture you show is the way it hooks up both green and green with yellow hook into the same spot nothing else hooks to the pump. just attach it to any metal on the machine it's just a ground wire It doesn't matter where you hook it up as long as it's grounded
