Car Forum / MINI / August 2003where's the battery positive?
as said in previous posts I'm wiring up a pair of spotlamps. I'm pretty sure on how to do the job, but I'm missing one point: Where and how do I pick up the battery positive? I've looked around under the bonnet and found a couple of thick brown wires which hook up to the starter solenoid, which seem to reappear at the fuse box. But how to work from there I don't know... Dantiri hiya perhaps you need to ask a mechanic to do it. fragged > as said in previous posts I'm wiring up a pair of spotlamps.

I won't start anything before I'm 100% sure on how to do it though, that's why I'm bugging the NG so much! :) Dantiri >as said in previous posts I'm wiring up a pair of spotlamps.

Purple is a fused battery connection. White is a +ve feed switched by the ignition switch, and Green is a switched +ve that is also fused. Other subsidiary wires have a base colour and a tracer stripe colour. If you look at the colours on a wiring diagram it makes sense. The wiring colour codes are in the specification number BS-AU7 So yes, after all that, Brown is a direct battery positive feed!
