i need to know which of the wires from my GTA rear view mirror (auto dim) are neg and pos

green wire and red wire cant tell which

also on the wiring to my new overhead console...i have white wire and orange wire

ive noticed with what little exp i have so far with wiring that
neg is usually the lighter color of the two or is stripped but i want to make sure before i solder it all up and screw something up

 

You should have three wires going to the mirror, a red one at pin "1" from the guages fuse (HOT), a black one at pin "2" going to ground (negative), and a light green wire going to pin "D" of the par/neutral switch on the shifter. On the overhead console the orange wire is hot with black being ground, the white wire goes to other systems in the circuit such as the door jamb switches.

 

i ended up splicing both the green and red wire into the power wire "orange" bc i read that the green wire is a backup wire or something like that so i fig it wouldnt be a big deal if it gets power or not since its secondary

I read that all you really needed was the power (red) and ground hooked up for the mirror to work

is this ok?

thx trickster plz respond again

one of the wires was GREEN GREEN and the other RED they were not light in color and yes i grounded the black on both overhead and mirror (not yelling or being rude just emphasizing)

what i did was ground the overhead and mirror to the roof properly on diff screws and then connected the overhead console and spliced the auto dim mirror into the overhead console hot wire

the light came on that illuminates your distance but the other little green light didnt....i think bc i didnt have headlights turned on doesnt the auto dim only work at night?
