I need to know how to make a wiring harness for my WE 151AL.  I know nothing of electronics, so they need to be easy to understand, e.g. type of wire, length, and where they go.  This is for the lamp rescue I got from Goodwill a while back:

The 151-AL harness is usually a 3-conductor D3B cord from a 51-AL with 2 additional wires wrapped around it. Any wire 26 gauge or bigger should be fine. The original colors of the D3B are red, double blue, and black. The two added wires are yellow and blue. The black wire is the longest because it goes from BK on the dial all the way to the transmitter.
