well u can do a search here and find out the color combos....

the orange wire is power feed all the time... the yellow is the ACC wire the blue wire would usually be the color or a remote wire to a amp.

or if you think they been changed, just buy a cheap testlight and do some testing....

check all the wires for juice, one should light up (prob the orange one) and turn the key to the ON and another should light up (the ac) would is prob the yellow one....

usually when theres a stripe on a wire, its a ground wire... that might be a wire to one of your speakers...

and i'd run a new ground if your suspecting its quality. run new speaker wire, your set.
