Hi all, i'm trying to find an earth local to the drivers door. There are two wires going to the solenoid that open the door lock, one blue and one green, so does anyone know which one is earth.
Cheers

Don't contact either to earth one will go live to lock and the other to earth and swap the other way to unlock

Hope that helps

Hi Andy, I have had to fit loads of wires through the rubber boot, Three wires for the windows and five for the mirrors. And that's piggy backing the live from the windows to power the mirrors. And with out running an earth lol. I had to fill the rubber boot with copious amounts of fairy liquid to lubricate!
