    I have these six wires that were all jerry rigged with electrical tape and not even connected. Can anyone tell me what they are off hand.

    Colors include orange, white, black with white tic marks (x2), pink with green stripe, and pink with blue stripe. They are fairly close to stereo/heater location just to the right of steering column.

    Can you see where they go? Is there a plug on the end?

    I just took out my dash and it has the same wires running to the dash speaker.

    I am not seeing radio and speakers on the wiring diagram, which explains why I couldn't find those wires.

    pink w/ green is what i believe they call ignition power..so when you turn the key to the on position it gives it power..it's a good one to splice into for power for your tach and such things, i believe i have my fuel pump on it because im too stupid to remember to use a turn on switch.


    and i know i've seen the blue and pink...it may also be coming off of my fuse block.


    ok i'm wrong..ignition is red/green stripe just looks pink because its faded
    maybe those are the wires for the highbeam switch?

    All of them? Im thinking some might go to the front quarter speakers, but not sure. I can't ee clearly.

    To answer previous question, they has two plugs and a fuse on them, and were kinda subjected to another set of wires neither of which had power, most of the writes were clipped right after the plug.
