Hello all, Sometimes we forget things we don't often use. I was looking up the wiring diagram for another and could not remember a color code. Here is a list that you might want to jot down.

SW = Black
WS = White
RT = RED
GN = GREEN
GE = YELLOW
GR = GREY
BR = BROWN += GROUND WIRE
BL = BLUE
LI = VIOLET

Cheers,
Larry

Good idea Larry.

The color code is also listed at the botom of most of the wiring diagram pages, and definitely on the first page of each different sections...

Also of note is GE/GN would be a Yellow wire with a green stripe and so on for multi colored wires, if more than one color is shown, the first color is the wire color, the second is the stripe... and remember, after 20+ years, not ALL the wires in some cars willl be as shown in the schematics due to some "inventive" solutions being used by previous owners...

there are also some key notes worth reading at the beginning of the electrical digram section of the FSM... some of the notes deal with some of the special notes and markings on the wiring schematics...

Thank you, John, for adding more info to the list. It really helps everyone when we try to trace out the wiring diagrams. I never was a wizz kid on how to read them myself. You are right, I just went back and checked the FSM and the color code is at the bottom of the page. I was so intent on tracing the wires out I didn't notice.

Cheers,
Larry

I have been dealing with wiring schematics for years, and these are no picknic to read... not the worst, but far from the best....
