Question ECU re-reset ?

Car is 97 uk turbo with later 3 plug ecu. I have read on other threads how to do the re-set i.e. connect black to black, green to green. Problem is I just can't find any green plugs. Got 4 black and even 1 yellow none of which are connected to anything. But no sign of any green, any chance the colours maybe different on this model.
Frustrated
Andy.

disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 20 minutes. reconnect - job done. if you do this make sure you have any relevant radio code information to hand tho.

If you do it that way will it effect alarm/imobiliser?
Thanks

did mine on sunday. opened doors with fob. then undid the battery terminal. the alarm chirped (standard alarm for my99) and then was silent. when i put the terminal back on i shut the onnet and doors and locked the car with the fob. i had no problems doing this.
