VW uses Calf-turd brown for pure grounds, and brown with a stripe for switch grounds, or grounds that are connected to something odd.

-----Original Message----- From: Stefan Weir [SMTP:WEIRSTEF@CS.COM] Sent: Saturday, November 20, 1999 11:11 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Wiring Question. If you're gonna flame me, flame on. I am putting in a CD player and it's been a couple of years since I did this and I have never done it on a VW (I have always coughed up $$$ to Circuit City). Ground wires in German cars are generally (1) Brown or (2) Gray? I have both and beleive it to be brown, but wanted to make sure. Thanks, Stefan P.S. I don't mind if I get flamed for such a simple bit of info, but I don't want my Van to get "flamed" :-) |
