John,
It was me you spoke to about 3 vs. 2 wires. I had the 3 wire harness and 2
wire module. I replaced my harness with a 2 wire from Terry as the 3 wire
didn't work. Another thing to check is to make sure the "blue" (where the
wires come out) module is correct. I bought 2 different colors as one didn't
work. I'll check this weekend as to which color is right.
