Hi, thank you for looking at my post. My old contactor has 2 sets of 2 posts on one side (see picture http://www.arnoldservice.com/burnt%20contactor.jpg ) and my new contactor has 2 posts on opposite sides of the contactor (see picture http://images.grainger.com/images/products/5B133.JPG ). My question, refering to the first picture, is where will the light blue and yellow wires will go on the new contactor. Thank you for your time.

The blue and yellow wires are for your 24 V supply voltage which will close the contactors when energized. They go on the two smaller side pins on the left side of your photo.
