headlight wiring color

[prophecyy]

hi everyone, i hope someone can help me... i have mazda 3 2010 and i want to install switchback signal turn flasher... but i know i need to install resistor on wire but can you tell me on which wire, which color i need to connect the resistor... for your information in my mazda 3 , gs, 2010, 2.5l my wire are black, orange and the last one as "purple-pink"... so anyone can help me with that and tell me on which wire need to connect 't-crimp lock-it' connector... thanks a lot in advance for your help and support... it's really appreciate...

;-)

this is the color on my wire on my turn signal socket... black, orange, and purple-pink...

someone can help me and let me know on which wire color i need to connect my resistor

99% Orange.

[prophecyy]

Thanks Hyperion ;-)

Orange at 99% and what?? which other color??

It's not only orange, no? two side wire, mabbe orange and other color???

Orange and black..?? Orange and pink-purple or what...

Thanks a lot..

Hyperion is correct, I did this and it was orange, and black for negative I believe

Thanks you

[prophecyy]

they have two wire on resistor so ineed to connect on the orange one and the other on black?? right???

this is the image of my socket wire turn signal...

What do you mean and what?
Resistors interrupt the wire to reduce the load sent to the leds. You aren't bridging two wires.

[prophecyy]

the resistor have two wire so i connect one side on the orange wire and the other side of resistor on the black or on the pink-purple... or what???


this is my turn signal socket, with color wires black, orange, pink-purple that you can see here...

not two wires???

[prophecyy]

not two wires???

resistor have two wire need to connect one side on orange and other side on the black one or what...

On this video the guys connect on the red and black one... have only two wire on her socket...

But mines have 3 wires , orange , black and purple-pink... So it go on orangeand black or what..???

sorry guys, for some double post!! sometimes look like post are not publish..

thanks for your help and comments...

[ace_master]

The pink wire should be your signal wire. I believe it's green on passenger side. These are the ones you would connect one side of the resistor to (and the other end goes to the black ground wire).

The orange wires are the ones powering the white light on your switchbacks, and shouldn't need resistors.

[prophecyy]

Hi ace ;-). .... if i'm ok it's : pink and black on driver side... and passager side will be green and black??...

Pink? weird!! who said right (true)?? hehe ;-). user, friends : Hyperion and grids said orange on driver site.. and you pink?

Is exist schema (simple to read and understand) to see picture for Mazda electrical wiring details, specification...??

Thanks for help and time all..

[prophecyy]

Hi guys, im bit confused... so the final and correct way to correctly connect wire it's black and orange ? or black and pink-purple on driver side... only orange??

On passager side look like the color is black and green...??

Thanks for your help and confirmation on which color... I receive both answer , someone says black/orange and other says black/pink-purple... and other said like only orange??.. Sorry I'm bit confused... Thanks a lot in advance...

I don't know, but you are doing electrical work and don't have a multimeter? It should be pretty easy to determine which one is positive wire going to turn signal with multimeter on voltage setting. Multimeters costs like $15 on sale.

Also I hope you realize you don't connect + and - wires to the same resistor, that will complete the circuit and cause a short. The resistor are installed inline on one wire (+) to create electrical resistance (and reduce voltage).

Hi folks , I don't really understand why in place like where its supposed to be help forum, to exchange, share things why i've got all different answer and have guys bad ass!!! like cheeseburger-BACON!! Thanks for all other guys. ;-))


Question is simple , answer supposed to be simple... I'm asking someone who know what taking about and already do the job... not joker, bad-ass as BACON!! don't waste your time here buddy!!! Thanks to all who wants to help other...

Back to topic
Yes I have multimeter but how you can know which wire is which signal....???? without during wire.... and/or how you can know which wire is which contact if you plug multimeter inside socket... Its not socket like only two easy contact its look like contact on 360'... so even if connect multimeter on some contact how I know which wire its associated with contact socket..?? Look what socket look likes...

And for do not connect resistor on positive and negative wire create short!!! so why all pics looking for install resistor look like this... one wire on positive and the other one on negative... Like pics..

Google resistor install and you can see always connect on + and - ...

If my socket have only to wire its will be very simple and never start this post!! But in my case 3 wire its hard to know which positive use between tail/running, vs brake/turn wire and know which one is.. Orange on Pink-purle one... Black is the easy one.. But question is like the #1 in this topic how know which to use between this two positive wire orange vs pink purple..??



This topic thread its for someone who know what's talking about, already done job and know something like socket have multi point of contact connector not only two easy connector like this and easy to solve problem... I will not start thread if its easy like this..

Thanks to all who help me and want to help!!! **** off as BAD ASS BACON!!!

[prophecyy]

He's just being gay

Thanks Hyperion

[prophecyy]

Gold and blue or black and blue maybe most likey not

Bad Ass!!! ****er!!!

Lmfaooooooooooooooooooooo.


This thread delivers.

[Hyperion]

I told you to run it in series, those tell you to run it parallel.
Both will work, but in the end, parallel is probably better because it supplies the correct power to the bulb, where as series will deliver a small amount less.

[prophecyy]

Thanks Hyperion I will try this.
