Help with wire identification.

Post by Ronnie Wilson »

Hi Guys

Last year I removed the uk drivers side footwell carpet and speaker to repair a hole in the floor.
12 months on and I’m refitting the carpet and speaker, but I have four wires I’m not sure of.
I think two grey/ black wires are off the back of the speaker but I also have a blue/brown and blue/red wire.
Anyone know what there for.

Hi Paul

Thanks for that. Looking at the drawing for the r/h speaker, my wiring colours are different. The blue/red and blue/brown may be for something other than the speaker.

Cheers.

You have these combos on both sides of the car? And they have identical connectors?

Hi Paul

Not sure. Finished the other side around 6 months ago.

Sorry, I don't recognize them. It is different on my car. The light grey ones look as speaker wires but what the others are is unclear to me.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply, I’ll just delete them and use the grey wires.
