Hitch Install Question -- Control Module Plug In

[cayenneturbo]

I just installed the hitch today and routed the wires through the car and just have the module to install. The directions in the TSB aren't clear to me. The module has three femaile plug spots, my wiring only has two male plugs ( one black and one green). The black one is the larger and there is only one spot to connect to. The green one I think plugs into the car in the green slot. Am I missing something? What are the other to spots for?

Thnx

Has anyone connected the hitch module themselves that can help me out or if someone with a hitch could be kind enough to see how many wires are attached to the module?

From the TSB the large connection (black) is for USA while one of the smaller ones is for non-usa, but that leaves one empty. The green one looks like it connects to the green connector on the car, but is there a connection from car to the module?

I appreciate the help, as I am trying to minimize the cost as much as possible from the dealership that is going to charge me $140 just to program the car this comming Monday.

Thanks

Thanks, I just went ahead and plugged it in tonight. No faults were displayed, but I did not connect it to my Durametric. Thanks

Well I am the poster child for why you must read the instructions ---- fully. I took to the shop yesterday, I found an indie with a old PIWIS who programmed it for $85. What should have taken 10 mins took an hour. They could not read the module. What I had failed to do was connect the "red" connector that is burried deep in the side panel.

This is a definately an easy DIY. You can save hundreds if not more by buying the kit or getting on off a salvage like I did. Total cost for me was under $500 and everything is OEM.

The module you get may have 2 or 3 female plugs depending on how old it is if you are getting it off a salavage. Mind had 3. For US models only 2 plugs are used: Black, Red to module and Green to car. The Black and Green male plugs come from the wiring harness is is very easily pushed through the foam with the bumper off. The red plug is behind the panel that must be removed. Panel removal will take about 15-20 if done carefully.

If any one has any questions please feel free to email me. I was able to do the whole install aside from coding. I estimate the whole install time from start to finish to be about 2 hours at relaxed pace.

Glad you got it sorted and sorry I couldn't be of help but the customer didn't show so I had no info to pass along.
