Been playing with one yesterday. A quick test discovered black is negative and if you connect all the others to positive, it will come to life. You will then need to establish by illimination which is live, ignition and side lights.

MK2 clock wiring


Black = Earth
Grey/red = +ve from light dimmer
red/black = +ve light
Blue/black = +ve ignition
Blue/red = Permanant live

Just ordered a mk2 mx5 digital cock unit off eBay so this thread is really useful for me :D

Is it OK to use the radio wiring harness as a feed? :?

I've just ordered one from Ebay & will be fitting it when it gets here.

It's a pity that Photobucket have buggered up so many useful threads on so many forums as the picture would have been useful.
