Default How to connect the TPMS antenna cables

Hi,

I bought the XK 2014 after a minor accident and I fix it myself. I have a problem with the TPMS antenna. For me, the bumper was broken, but the wiring harness actually survived, only someone cut off the TPMS antenna. I bought these antennas used together with the plugs, but I don't know how to connect the cables - these tips have different colors than in my wiring harness. Question: Does it matter how they are connected or it doesn't matter? It is only two cables for the antenna.
Can anyone help?
greetings

If its only two wires...ya got a 50/50 chance. Plus I dont think you can do any harm if you get it wrong. I would do a temp job and see if it works, if it does make it permanent.

You're right. Only if I knew that, I would make a proper connection right away. But you will probably have to try.

I assume you mean the initiator, aka the tennis racket as there is no antenna that I'm aware of but they are often referred to as antenna. Yes it matters as one is the power feed but I don't think you're going to blow anything as lear60man says. You also don't mention if it's the right front or the left front so here's a diagram.
Color codes for the front
U=Blue
WU=White/Blue

G=Green
W/G= White/Green

I do believe those rackets are called "Initiators".

Yea, but 'rackets' make more sense to dummies like me.
