Black is +12V, Brown is - (minus.. but it aint really, it should be called 0V but what the hay) I'm sure Ive told you all this before :wink:

This colour coding is standard throughout the entire car (with a few exceptions) and is common to other Vauxhalls. Now do I win a free sun-visor screen :?: (I hear you've got a spare [img]/biggrin.gif[/img] )
