I just went out to the garage and checked the two Opus modules
I have here. One unit has a red, a blue, and a black wire!
The other... has three WHITE wires coming out to the connector.
None of MY schematics, either from the inet or in manuals,
show the colors you mention either. hhhmm....
sorry I couldn't be more help. I though looking at the module
I had previously dissected, would answer your question. But three
white wires is worse than the position you're in!
let us all know what you find out.
