if you have a meter and know how to use one this is what you do.....
-pull the dash off under you steering column
-find orange wire with your steering column wires(this is your first accessory line)
-if you cant find that one you can use the red line(this is your second accessory line)
-once you have found the wire..... with a pair of strippers carefully pull the wires jacket back so you have expossed a few centimeters of wire without cutting the wire.
-know set your meter to dc current
-know ground the black probe comming from the meter...make sure you found a good ground , in a location so you dont have to hold it because in the next couple steps you will need both hands.
-know with the red lead from the meter you are going to hold it to the bare wire
-know this is why you need both hands....while holding the probe to the bare wire grab your keys and put it into your ignition.....turn it over to the first click
-if you are testing the orange line your meter should have read 12 volts as soon as turned to the first click
-if you are testing the red line it should turn 12 volts on the second click
-if it reads nothing first check and make sure you have a proper ground as well as a solid connection at the wire...
-if your meter continues to read nothing check to see if there is duplicate oranges and/or red wires and test those.
-This proscess will help you in finding and comfirming the right wire
-hope this helps let me know if you have any questions.
