Hello!

Can anyone tell me which colour wires operate which warning lights on the mk3 Escort dash?

I cant find my manual ANYWHERE and i really need to sort out the wiring by the weekend

Im not using a standard escort dash so any refference to the numbers on the plugs or refference to the circuit on the back of the dash is no good!

Just which colour wire does what would be ace

Thanks loads for any help!
