Found these mysterious wires in my Z

Vaibe · 01-12-2015, 07:26 PM

Okay, a little update.

So I did some more digging about the blue wire from the battery and found that that's the wire that actually goes to the trunk, anyone know what it's for? Some of you guys said that I didn't need a ground from the battery, could I use that as a ground for the amp?

Maybe this is a power wire?

That is a power wire not a ground. And it doesn't appear to have a fuse inline. First thing is to get a fuse installed. Check and make sure it is big enough to feed your equipment. If not, use it to pull your power wire.

You can also re-purpose the wire for grounding. If it's big enough for power, it's big enough for ground. And vice versa.

Thanks so much for the help so far!

How do I check if the wire is sufficient enough to power my equipment? Any good guides you know of?
