I've got one of these as well, and haven't yet put it on. If you think
about it, it makes more sense for the single black wire to be the signal
wire, and the two white wires to be the wires that go to the sensor heater,
where it shouldn't make a difference which wire
goes to the +ve and which to the -ve wire from the O2 sensor control unit.
I don't know for certain this is how it plugs in though. Let me know if you
find out for sure how it wires in.
