FSM Wire Color Codes
 

Hello All SmileWavy, Sometimes we forget simple things. I was helping another gent out today with wiring diagrams and had forgot a color code. I will list them below.

SW = Black *******GR = Grey
WS = White ****** BR = Brown = Ground Wire
RT = Red *********BL = Blue
GN = Green******* LI = Violet
GE = Yellow

If you have a wire that has two colors, SW/RT, it is Black and Red, etc.. I hope this will help others tracing down wires in a diagram.

A big thank you goes to JohnKoaWood, Rennlist Member for the following.

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...

Cheers,
Larry :)
