The PO of my TD had a brilliant solution to the problem of 'all those
coloured wires': He rewired the entire car in white! I suppose that makes
all the wires interchangable, right? Did it work? I don't know; I didn't
even try to apply power. And yes, I now own a new harness with (hopefully)
correctly coloured wires again. sf
