Obviously black is earth.
The others prob lights , for day and night, and a permanent live.
Try each one as no harm will be done. Just see which one makes the lights come on and which one makes the clock tick
PS yellow is perm live on radios ;0

Thanks. I'll try them and see:thumb2

You'll probably find the yellow perm live for the clock. Then the red one powers up the light on ign and the other one dims it when your dash lights are on.
I think :augie

Yep I put crimp connectors on them. Yellow and black/red wires go to positive and the black wire goes to negative ground

hope you tell your insurance all the mods you have done

I don't need to say about the clock:doh

Educated guess:

red/black - Fuse #4 (constant +12Vdc)
Black - ground
Yellow - dimmer circuit
Pink - Switched +12Vdc

hence why I said mods. not mod. You have done other stuff. :thumbs

So would the alloys effect it? My t2 came with steels but I put alloys on from a 97 maverick when I got the t2

Yep, correct:thumb2

it could do, but something like that it may be hard to prove if it's standard or not.

or hope you are lucky if you ever have to claim and the insurance company doesn't bring it up.
