The auto parts store probably sold you the wrong piece. Not sure entirely though, you'd get more and better responses by placing this question in the transfer case section.

That brown wire goes to pin 8 of the connector, for the internal clutch. If your new motor has no pin in spot 8, (from second link below),

1. The multi-pin connector can be disassembled, eliminating the need to cut the wire permanently attached to the transfer case. Just get some needle nose pliers or large hemostats (is any toolbox complete without them?) and carefully pull the red center piece out of the male end of the plug. Then, gently pry the plastic retainer away from the wire you want (not too far!). To remove, pull the wire out the back of the connector.


Here's an explanatory thread that'll hep you understand it all. More info than you need, but read it and you will see what pertains to the job you are doing. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=123542 and http://www.explorerforum.com/Singleton/web/pages/tcase.html
