Victor,

Thank you for replying. I will switch the bullet pigtail wires as you
suggested. I was initially concerned about one of the three green wires
having a colored thread and trying to match it up correctly.

I believe that =E2=80=9Cother pigtail set=E2=80=9D is for cars with a seatb=
elt warning
module. Mine also has it but it was taped off.

Our cars are the same year and we=E2=80=99ve owned them for the same number=
 of
years (21 for me), however, I don=E2=80=99t have AC or OD.

Thanks again for your suggestion.

All be well.

Bob Fabie
=E2=80=9875 TR6
