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.
