Hello, so I googling and I can't find anything specific, the only thing that pops up for me is ready-made book publications, so I decided to ask here: Does anyone know where I can find a description of the color codes for marking wires in car installations and for the numbering of terminals ...

Thank you for the answer and the photo, numbers are already clearing up the situation, only the colors of the wires in the bundles, as I mentioned. Krzysiek

Colors are marked depending on the language of the scheme, sometimes there is a numerical marking

And this depends on the manufacturer, German (apart from Ford and partly BMW) - black plus behind the ignition, red constant, brown mass. Black with a stripe of a different color-plus commutated, and similarly with brown with a stripe-commutated mass. Italian -mass black, white and black, plus orange or blue behind the ignition, Peugeot \ Citroen is not distinguished by colors and has letter-digit inscriptions on the cable's skin. Ford is no longer logic at all.

But my colleague is about color markings, e.g. SW - black, etc.

Also lime, because, for example, the Germans write ws as weiss (white), English wt (white) and Italians bi (bianco).

I noticed that, for example, in Peugeot 206 the masses are green.

yellow with green. As in network installations zero. But Ford in peace of mind will let go of the purple mass with an orange stripe, and in the same bundle it goes identical fillet with a blue stripe, and this is a plus.

this is what I mean: black with blue stripe what is etc, but from what colleagues have already noticed and described, what the producer is a different combination, so it probably remains service center for a given car model, and this probably changes depending on the mood of the manufacturer, for example, an Opel manufactured in a country other than Germany will have divergent color assignments. Generally, I mean the color scheme of the Opel Tigra 1996, capacity 1.6 I was doing my own alarm installation and when I saw one of the larger harnesses, I preferred to let go of my own additional cables than to plug into the existing ones and be unsure whether I got it right Krzysiek

Hello,

so I googling and I can't find anything specific, the only thing that pops up for me is ready-made book publications,
so I decided to ask here:

Does anyone know where I can find a description of the color codes for marking wires in car installations and for the numbering of terminals
,
I often see signs in the installation of cars and not only, for example "33a"
is it somehow standardized and where can I find exhaustive descriptions.

Thank you for helping everyone
