Wiring Color Codes

The wire color code indicates the circuit number, color of the wire and the wire gauge size.

Where two colors are shown for a wire, the first color is the basic color of the wire. The second color is the dot, hash, or stripe marking. If D or H is given, the second color is dots or hash marks. If there is no letter after the second color, the wire has a stripe.

For example:

BR/O is a brown wire with an orange stripe.

R/Y D is a red wire with yellow dots.

BK/W H is a black wire with white hash marks.

If a vehicle specific wire color in a connector does not match the diagram shown, it can usually be identified by comparing the other colors shown at the wire connectors. Specific wire color deviations in the manufacturing of a wire harness are usually for a short duration.
