  To wire 2838 motor, you have to use one [PF extension cable](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=8886-1), one end connected to PF power source (either battery box or IR receiver), the other end has a 9V compatible plug on bottom. Unfortunately, 2838 also has its connector on bottom, so you also need a 9V cable (such as [this one](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=5041-1)) to connect them.
