  • jack wires

    hello,

    there are two wires on my '97 USA. One fat black and a red one.
    Which one is hot which is ground?

    If I had to guess:

    Red - hot

    Black - ground

      You should also be able to tell which wire is connected to the 'tip' by looking at the jack, tip is 'hot'/pos. 99.9% of the time.
      Black is always - and Red is always + with few exceptions.
      I have an electrical multi-tester that's great for that kind of stuff, if you're doing your own tech, you should get one, they're quite handy.
