Cripes Smithers, this is a fine time to tell me you're not sure which wire goes where

off top of head its the blue one but just put a multimeter over it to be sure. if you havnt got a meter use a lightbulb with two wires.

Hi DW

Iv been using a multimeter the yellow lights up when i turn as if to turn the engine over so i would say this is the starter wire.
But the blue and the blue/black both light up when i turn the ignition on ( next one past the acc).
so im getting confused a little bit.
as when i used to fit alarms many years back i only had one wire to go at.
cheers anyways
