wiring diagram for front side markers

[nsx1164]

Was trying to get wiring info for front side markers lamps.

The front corner (OEM amber lens) has two wires leading to it: one is blue/white and the other is black.

I need to know the polarity on the harness (or bulb holder). Which connector is wired to the (+) wire, which one to the (-) wire

Thanks

Almost beyond any doubt the black wire will be zero potential, though giving it a quick measure with a multimeter would solve all youre trouble.

And on page 208 of the service manual chapter 23, you will find the colors of all the wires, in this case lf ink/blue+black, rf:blue/white+black, where in both cases the black is zero potential A.K.A. (-).

Hope this helps

Thanks --
this is great info, although I still don't know which plug/socket hole goes to which wire

Can someone with a tester verify which PLUG (or hole) is (+) or (-) ??
- hole on the long, thin side (horizontally-oriented above)
- hole on the shorter, stubbier side

I don't think the light bulb care about polarity.

I would, but i don't have those lights........

You are correct. The OEM light bulb does NOT care.

As part of a (non-OEM upgrade) project we are investigating, I need to know the polarity of the harness (or bulb socket).

Anyone know ?? Thanks

I need to find out which PIN is connected to which WIRE. Can you elaborate further on this "quick measure" with a multimeter ??

Thanks

IS THIS CORRECT ??

With a multimeter / VOM:
- Plug the RED prod into the (assumed) + pin
- Plug the BLACK prod into the (assumed) - pin.

Check for voltage... if polarity assumptions are correct, needle will deflect "normally" (show sume positive value, say 12V). If polarity is incorrect, needle will deflect in "reverse" (show a negative value).

Is this correct ??

 

[DutchBlackNsx]

Exactly.

To be absolutely sure, measure the other way around, so you know you are doing it right. It won't harm the meter.

Got it... LMK if anyone needs this info.
Will post pix of my "project" later.
