Escort Cabriolet Club Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you have a bit of the loom and plug that goes into the Mk6 clock that would be a great start, i'm sure Si will find out which coloured wire is for what, all I would do is plug the Earth and Permanant Live into the Cigar Lighter as this is also Perminant, then just wire the illumination into the Heater Dial Lighting !!!

Guest SiV6Si Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Mk 5 wire colouring is as follows... red is - perm live grey and yellow is illumination brown is earth for illumination black and brown is common earth MK 6 wire colouring is as follows... orange and black - illumination. orange and yellow - power from the fuse box. black and yellow - Earth - via the fuse box. I can't seem to find the power for the alarm LED that is situated in both the mk5 and mk6 clocks. I would suggest you check the wires that are let over with a volt meter to see which one is active when the car is locked / dead locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
