both of the blue wires are 12v feeds , no need to connect them together as they both come from the ign switch , either one can be plugged onto the ballast

Deaths circus,

I purchased my through year one and for the most part it is plug and play.  The only exception are the ignition wires that plug into the ballast.  If you are willing to post pictures that would be great!

Chryco Psycho,
Thanks for the help I am planning on hooking the harness up this weekend if I can get some time out of work for a change.....

Thanks...

Hey guys,

I finally got a chance to install the new wiring harness.  Now, before I proceed I will remind you I know very little about electrical issues...I re-read this topic and you will see what I mean  :1zhelp:

So I unplugged the old harness and started installing the new one.  Everything went in just fine with the exception of two areas.
1.  The ballast on the wall.  The wire colors on the old harness do not match the new and I ...well....you know....hate to admit it....but just dont know which side the blue wire attaches to versus the brown/blue twinned wire.   :dunno:

2.  The distributor - Blue wire goes to negative or positive?   :clueless:

Guys I appreciate your patience with me (a clueless electrical guy).

Thanks for your help!
