According to Haynes:  

green/red            green/white

lite green/brown

                            green

                            green


OR:  this one if there is hazard lamp (which is connected to lt.green/purp)

green/red            green

green/white        

            lt.green/purp

lt. green            green


Hope this is some use to you.
