face=Arial>Could the Black be like the AC wiring where Black is the hot wire
and white is common?<BR>Now the brown wire as a ground is interesting unless
its to distinguish that it's a isolated ground just for a certain
device<BR>like the casing of the Generator where it runs all the way to the
regulator mounting.<BR><BR>Daniel Du Vall</FONT></DIV><FONT

face=Arial>Quick DIN lesson:<BR><BR>Terminal 15- always = key- switched
hot<BR>Terminal 30- Battery hot, direct (not fused)<BR>Terminal 31- direct
ground to chassis<BR><BR>Wire code overview:<BR><BR>Solid red= unfused batt
power (Term. 30)<BR>Red with another color- Hot, fused, but not direct to
battery (e.g., from a relay, fuse block, etc.)<BR>Solid brown- Direct ground
to chassis (Term. 31)<BR>Brown with second color- Indirect ground; e.g.'
grounded via a relay, rheostat, resistor, etc.<BR>Black with another color-
Hot with ignition key, indirect.<BR><BR>This is very general as it covers just
the barebones basic circuitry, but is basically the same for all German
cars.</DIV>

<DIV>I should note here, that Tram restores Mercedes cars for a living, and IS
a factory trained VW mechanic. However, I found this info above to be on
target for our cars.<BR>
