Cable Colors On 850

[Mete Goktepe]

Hello dear friends,

I was wondering if any of you know which side is the negative and which side is positive in speaker cables in connector.. for example front speaker cables are red and green. red and green has one green wire with white stripe and another wire with black stripe.. which of these is negative? and positive?

thank you..

you can thank BEJinFBK for this from the other thread on this page for help.

The car side wiring is spread across the two main connectors:

Power and dash speakers on the A connector,

Speakers on the B connector. (the speed signal is also on the B connector)

Use a meter to confirm power first:

Constant Power-------Green/Brown x2 = Pins A4 & A12

Switched Power-------Yellow/Violet = Pin A13

Ground---------------Black x 2 = Pins A6 & A14

Illumination---------Pink = Pin A10 (varies with dash lights)

Antenna power amp----Blue/White = Pin A3 (VERY important for radio...)

Speed Signal---------Yellow/Black = Pin B7 (you probably don't need this)

Dash L+ - Red/White = Pin A1

Dash L- - Yellow/White = Pin A2

Dash R+ - Yellow/Green = Pin A7

Dash R- - Green = Pin A8

Door FL+ - Green/White = Pin B4

Door FL- - Green/Brown = Pin B3

Door FR+ - Red/White = Pin B9

Door FR- - Red/Black = Pin B10

RL+ - Brown/White = Pin B2

RL- - Brown/Black = Pin B1

RR+ - Pink/White = Pin B5

RR- - Pink/Black = Pin B6

thanks very much I found the answer to my question.. I was right about assuming that the cables with the white stripes are positive...
