Anyone have clues?

Just finished installing the liftgate. Everything works except for the foot sensor. I ran all the wires correctly according to the instructions. I noticed from the youtube installation videos, some poeple had the green, red, white wires for the foot sensor. The wires I received were green, red, and yellow. I tapped the green wire with the purple wire, red wire with the 12v. I connected the ground using the nut for grounding and yellow wire I left alone. I also tried to interchange the wiring of yellow and red to the 12v but still does not work. Anyone have clues?
Update:
@MarcG Thanks for the big tip!
I rechecked the wiretap on the purple wire and noticed that the purple wiring wasn't pieced enough to make a good connection. I made the hole bigger so there's more metal to metal contact and now it works!
On my end, after tucking away all the wires neatly and reassembling all the trim panels, the trunk button I installed in the driver footwell area stopped working.. hmm this one is going to be a bigger pain to troubleshoot.
Just wondering for those of you that have installed the kit and put the wires through the tail light holes, it looks like it would possibly let water in through there in the rain. Does it keep the trunk dry still?
I ended up running the cables down and then loop it up and into the hole. If the water runs down the cable then it would have to fight gravity to get into the hole.Just wondering for those of you that have installed the kit and put the wires through the tail light holes, it looks like it would possibly let water in through there in the rain.

Looks like Tesla Offer uploaded a new video to deal with making it a bit quieter when opening.
How do you know when it ships? I paid for parts and install in 7/22/19 and have not heard anything from them. They only have the install offer till 7/30/19 and it's getting close to it.They come to your house.
Also: the $300 installation charge includes expedited shipping from Hong Kong, which you usually have to pay extra for. Mine shipped this morning and will be delivered tomorrow.

If the car is locked, and you approach the car with your phone key in your pocket/purse, can you use the foot sensor to pop the trunk open? Or do you have to unlock the car (by pulling door handle) first before the foot sensor becomes active?
You can use the foot sensor to open the trunk without having to unlock the car by pulling on a door handle, assuming your phone is close by to unlock your car.
After my install the loud unlatching noise seem to be coming from the top latch which was not replaced. Why did this part become more noisy after the install when it was not touched?Thanks for sharing! After installing mine I did notice the noise and thought it came from the extra new connectors in the liftgate that were a little loose, but even after padding them the noise was still present.
It hasn't bothered me too much yet but I can see the benefit of trying to quiet it down. Now I need to figure out if it's worth the risk of removing the liftgate panel again, those pesky green fastening clips tend to break easily..
