Help!!!
My flat tire that ripped off my fender still plagues me! My son is here & we have a new fender on but are having trouble identifying the ground wire... white wire with green stripe?? white wire ??? etc. Does anyone have an easy answer or the wiring schematic they could post? As always thanks for your help Amber & Tootsie

The solid white wire should be ground but, you need to check it with a multi-meter for continuity to any convenient place on the frame that you can make good contact.

+1 on continuity check. Just recently did some 12 volt wiring on my TT and ground wire was white. Plug into your TV and measure across marker light leads, when you have black on ground and red on 12v the meter should read +12. If it is backwards it will read -12. I'm taking for granted you have way to measure.

You can pick up a quite adequate for the purpose multimeter at Walmart or someplace similar for about $10.

Ditto, the white should be the ground

Thanks to everyone! Problem solved - you confirmed what was suspected & thanks for the shopping tips on meters but of course already had one. You guys are the best!
Tootsie sends a special tail wag & New Year's greetings to everyone! And my son is very glad to have this project completed!!!  |
