Voltage Regulator Wires?

These two wires may have come out but we weren't sure. The tape indicates this plug goes to the voltage regulator but looking at the wiring diagram, I couldn't tell if those two wires needed to be inserted into the plug and if so, which one to which hole. If not, they must go somewhere? And can you tell I'm tired? :blackeye:

thanks!

The red and blue wire get connected together and go in the socket closest to your thumb. The green wire goes in the other socket. If you can find them, you should used terminals (they're called female quick-disconnect terminals) that have a little tang that pops out the back which holds it in the plastic socket. Otherwise use what you can find and then make sure to push each individual terminal up and firmly into the socket to make sure they all attach to the regulator securely.
