Thanks! I knew something wasn't right when I tried to put one of those ends in. I'll clear it up at the dealer tomorrow ... only bummer is now I'll have to wait until next week for the correct one to come in. I can live with that, though!
Billybob, thanks for the tips ... I wasn't aware of the ability to "reverse search" a part number in the EPC. I had entered my VIN. Actually now that I look at the note "up to B022015" I now noticed the "B." I was only looking at the numbers, which in my VIN begin with 3. BUT, there's an "A" before the final six numbers in my VIN. Now I see the light.
