Looking at the British Standard (aka Lucas) colour codes for automotive wiring. It appears that our friends who add streaks of colour to their hair are:
MAIN | TRACER | PURPOSE | |
Black | All earth connections | ||
Black | Brown | Tachometer generator to tachometer | |
![]() | Black | Blue | Tachometer generator to tachometer |
Crash | Black | Red | Electric or electronic speedometer to sensor |
![]() | Black | Purple | Tempreature switch to warning light |
Black | Green | Relay to radiator fan motor | |
Black | Light green | Vacuum brake switch or brake differential pressure valve to warning light and/or buzzer | |
![]() | Black | White | Brake fluid level warning light to switch and handbrake swith, or radio to speakers |
Black | yellow | Electric speedometer | |
![]() | Black | Orange | Radiator fan motor to thermal switch |
