Default New, But not New

Hello Everyone and I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for starters.
I just purchased a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan, so I new here, But was also a member of the Dakota & a current member on Avenger forum.
With the introductions out of the way I have a quick question:
Purchased a Fog Lamp Kit for the Van and looking at the instructions a little confused with the jumper wire that connects to the TIPM. The picture shows
inserting the 2 wires into cavity 11 & the other in cavity 16. the picture shows the connector ,but if you rotate 180 degrees 11 & 16 would be wrong.
I have not pulled the connector out, but in the past Chrysler use to number the connector 1-18 on the face. Would anyone have the pin out for this connector?
Thanks in advance

Looks like someone else is questioning the same thing a while back and there was no further response or if his question/problem was resolved.

Thanks for the link it was just what I was looking for....

After reviewing the picture from the installation sheet provided by Mopar this does not look like the right connector.
The picture shows Cav # 11 on the end and Cav # 16 is the 3rd one from the left, and looks like a 18 pin connector.

Or the Mopar picture is completely wrong LOL

I only count 16 pins on the installation picture you posted.

Not completely wrong, but it looks like the balloons for cavities 11 and 16 are reversed on the installation picture you posted.

Here's an image from the 2009 Fog Light Installation Instructions:



On the 2009 picture the wire colors and pin locations appear to match the text of the instructions you posted, and the LINK I provided above.

You are correct on the connector only being a 16 pin, I had just counted from the picture where they show where #16 pin was located.. MY Bad
Link to 2013 Dodge Fog Light Installation

http://starparts.chrysler.com/info/default/k6861189.pdf

which is the same as the other posters problem:
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-ca...eem-wrong.html


Your link for the 2009 instructions, sure are a lot better.

Also, you are correct with the connectors matching with the info you provided.

Thanks for your help.
