Connecting wires in the right way on a central vacuum
Hi !
I have two electrical cables. one has a red and black wire. The other has a red,black,green and yellow wire. I must attach the wires to two screws but I can't seem to figure out how to connect the different wires together. Thanks |

Thanks I got confused trying to sort through the overwhelming amount of information you provided about manufacturers and model numbers and what the purpose of the cables might be, sorry... |

Then hire an electrician, that way you won't void any warranty. Joe |

Hi ! I have two electrical cables. one has a red and black wire. The other has a red,black,green and yellow wire. I must attach the wires to two screws but I can't seem to figure out how to connect the different wires together. The wire colors do not matter! There is no "set" use of any particular wire color for this or that. No one will be able to tell you what "colors" to connect... You need to understand the electrical circuit of the vacuum system. See what color wires are connected at the main unit. And what color wires are connected at junction points (if there is a splice along the way). Read the instructions for the vacuum system. Or hire an electrical type if you have difficulty learning about these things. |

A maroon color is coming to mind. So does theft. |
