For all the questions, 99% of the time black to black red to red. Like i said in the video on AN LED LIGHT STRIP, the color of the light is determined by the negative wire.

I learned more about this subject here, than I did with 10 videos on wiring a toggle combined. Less is more is true.

Best wiring vid on yt. Simple clear instructions and straight to the point

[levilynn]

Thank you. I knew it could be this simple, but other videos somehow convolute the process unto confusion.

[JonDoeGuy]

Thank you for this and thank you for not making a long drawn out video to explain such a simple concept 👍

[petermayall]

Thanks for that mate, from down
Under. Your video was excellent.
Straight to the point & no waffling on
Many other clips I found were very
Confusing & had to much crap attached. Thanks again.

Excellent explanation. So simple now that I watched that.

Doesn't black go to black and red to red on a DC circuit?

[edwardperez]

Thanks for sharing! Now I know how to wire some fixtures in my enclosed trailer!

I have a blazer that I can't drive at night because ONLY the brake lights/reverse lights/and blinkers work the parking/red taillights don't and nobody can find the problem so I have a extra 12vbattry and a set of magnetized trailer taillights to put on the Chevy blazer thought instead of having to hook and unhook the gator clips I could figure out how to make it a little bit easier like a switch or button to turn it on and off I'm a mom of 4 the battery is by the tailgate so what would I need to buy and how would you recommend I should do it plz gb2m asap thanks

[christybrown]

Much needed thank you. My question is I have 2.. 2 terminal on/off switches. One at console and the other on the front deck. How do I get them to work together? My older ebbtide boat does not have a manual

[WBWho]

What if you only have positive and negative. Is the “ ground “ you was talking bout the positive?

[goldaencarnacion]

Where do i find or get the yellow cord? Does it have to be a specific yellow cord or can I substitute it for a red/black cord?

[pmacc]

So you connected a ground wire from battery to the pos of accessory?
Im trying to wire LED headlight on old motorbike and new switches. Each handlebar switch has 3 buttons and from each button comes 2 identical coloured wires: button 1 has 2 black wires, , button 2 has 2 blu wires and button 3 has two red wires.
Any tips be much appreciated. Thanks.

Okay I know this is a random question but if a switch is rated 12v 5amps, wouldn't connecting the switch directly to the battery overload it?

[Sergiomartinez-kfkr]

Is this also the same thing on a car??

[craigcoble]

Why did he use the red wire for the negative and the black wire for the pos?
