fclauson Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Hi all New to the forum - I had a recent vandle attack on my car where they ran a hacksaw blade down the gap between the front passeger door and the wing in an attempt to "POP" the central locking. Fortunatly they failed but they have left me a job worse than perfoming open heart surgary I am now 50% way through the fix - see below - but I stumbled becuse there are two cables coloured Black with Yellow stripe. Anyone know if it matters which way round these are wired (probably will - knowing my luck door will unlock just as every other door locks - or the wing mirrors will move every time I turn up the volume on the speakers!!!

Guest HairyPlateEater Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Hi ... what year and type is your car? usually best putting your car details in your signature to save you remembering with each post :lol: Removal of the door card would reveal where each wire terminated, but hopefully someone will have the answer at hand!

The vehical is a 2.3 Zetec auto on a Y plate and I was hoping not to have to disect the door to find this out UPDATE: just reattached the door - everything works except move the mirror up/down unlocks the door locks - so just two wires wrong probably (bother !!!!)

seatkid Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Black/Yellow cables are earth (0v or ground) cables, it doesnt matter which is connected to which. Quote
