Hi All,

Apologies for the usual first "Oh crap" post.

Like many Subaru Legacy/Outback wagon owners, I had issues with wires breaking in the rubber boot leading from the hatch to the body of the car, so I set out to replace them all using a video from thediyguy .net. I made the mistake of cutting all the wires at that point in order to splice the replacements in. Most of them were easy fixes, matching colours. However, I ran into 2 sets of duplicates:
-2 black/grey 14 gauge wires
-2 yellow/green striped 16 gauge wires

I'm assuming these are grounds, but how can I tell if I'm connecting the correct matching wires from the body of the car to the correct matching wires from the hatch? I'm assuming I'll run into issues if I match the wrong black/grey with the wrong black/grey, or the wrong yellow/green with the wrong yellow/green.

I've tried looking for wiring diagrams with no luck so far.

Thanks in advance.
 
The correct wiring schematic can only be found by identifying the model - See image

Accomplish the repairs with "Crimp and Shrink" connections before and after the damage.
Follow the schematics provided and do not solder any wires.
Post your results and images.

Apologies for the delay in replying to the post. Appreciate the diagrams. Finally got a chance to review them... Do you have a set of diagrams that includes the rear wiper and radio amplifier at the back? I think I've got the lighting correct, but both of those have stopped working.
