[6pack] Two Issues

[rmf3860 rmf3860]

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 “other pigtail set” is for cars with a seatbelt warning
module. Mine also has it but it was taped off.

Our cars are the same year and we’ve owned them for the same number of
years (21 for me), however, I don’t have AC or OD.

Thanks again for your suggestion.

All be well.
