I have a project I'm working on, and I have all the factory manuals.

It MUST be in the volume somewhere, but in my impatient 9 and a half mins, I couldn't find it.

Here are the codes I need the mappings to, and my edumacated guesses (although what I am after is a master reference chart to validate and have it handy for future projects).

L-BU = Light Blue ??
D-BU = Dark Blue ??
BN = Brown ??
TN = Tan ??
D-GN/WH = Dark Green w/ White stripe ??
D-BU (on another connector) = Dark Blue ??

Thanks in advance!

You can't look in the front of your factory service manual and find the section on wiring?

Dan_the_C5_Man

If you know where it is, please advise - "..the section on wiring.." isn't cutting it.

MTPZ06

Dan_the_C5_Man

If you are savvy you might guess, but I'm not telling on myself.

MTPZ06

You're retrofitting your C6Z into the first ever Google GPS driven race car?

Dan_the_C5_Man

That might require just a few more wiring labels than I am asking for.

MTPZ06

Well, it was worth a guess...back to the drawing board.

In all seriousness, Bill Dearborn is virtual encyclopedia of information along these lines...maybe shoot him a PM.

Dan_the_C5_Man

If I haven't pissed him off with all the back-and-forth banter on the guide issue - good suggestion, I will ask him directly.

Thanks erick_e - looks like my guesses were correct.. Why they didn't place the abbreviations for the wire colors in the wiring section is beyond me.

Bill Dearborn

According to the Service Manual you are correct although blue can be represented by BLU as well.

Bill

I know what it is--but not telling. Dan will in his own time. it is cool!
