Turn Signal Wiring Question
Greetings. I have installed (well, almost) a pair of signal mirrors on my
1997 Cherokee Sport. The hardware is all attached and everything, but the
wiring is giving me some fits. I bought a multimeter from eBay and waited
patiently for its arrival. Now that I have it, I can't get it to tell me
which wire is for the left turn signal and which wire is for the right turn
signal. It is a DT-830B Digital Multimeter - the kind all over eBay - with
2 detachable leads (one + and one -). The miror instructions said to look
for the light green wire for the left turn signal and the tan wire for the
right turn signal. I saw a darker green and no tan under my steering
console where all the wires come into the vehicle. Can anyone please help
me figure this out? I set the multimeter to the 200m setting in the DCV
area as that is where it starts to register that it is getting some kind of
readings from something - before I touch anything. I have tried turning on
both turn signals and touching the red lead to each wire while the black
lead is touching the metal of the Jeep. However, I can't get a reading
for anything. Thanks a ton!
