which wire do i want?
Monday, March 05, 2007 7:33 AM
hey guys i have a quick question i know someone can answer. where is the best place to splice a connection for interior neons? i was thinking about my 12V but i dont know how i would get the wires out of my dash into my center console for the switch... so which wire would be the 12V wire coming through the firewall? im gonna take a stab in the dark and say its the same color as the one that leads into the outlet, but where would it be in the bundles of wires? anybody have a picture? i looked through my schematic from haynes and they had nothing that i could read easily. just black and white pictures showing different circuits but not a realtime picture. im going to be using a wire-tap so im not actually disconnecting the wire im just putting a copper tipped "splicer" into the wire

thanks guys

Use the orange wire in the steering column - it's the accessory wire.

do i have to take apart the steering wheel for this or just pull back the wire cover underneath? i kinda of know what im looking for but i seriously dont want to screw up anything electrical... as expected. so im not touching this until i know exactly what im doing. im going to be looking for a picture of it to get an idea, but if anybody has a pic laying around that could be helpful, please dont be shy i know im a noob. lol

There's three torx screws that hold the bottom piece on - i think they're either t-15 or t-20. The wires will show right up. It'll be lower right steering column, in a bundle of bigger gauge wires. You can't miss it. If you do, then take it to a professional.
