  BL Wiring Color Schemes

You'll find a few of these lists throughout the Internet (if you really look for them). I've complied this one to try and cover what wire color you are trying to trace listed by the device it supports.

wire color abbreviations are as follows  

B= Black

N=Brown R=Red O=Orange Y=Yellow
G=Green U=Blue P=Purple LG=Light Green K=Pink
S=Slate W=White      

Parenthesis (  )  means the item may be optional on your vehicle.
and/or a variation over the model years may exist.
