I’m not color blind and get color tested every 6 months for work, this is a tough one. Using the process of elimination. The far right must be yellow. The second from left has to be red. This leaves brown and orange. With that I would say far left is brown making the final one orange even though it doesn’t look it. It looks a slightly golden yellow color. Colors can be weird when you put them next to each other. It’s always best to look at them with a totally white background individually. You will probably pick up the undertones you need if you do that vs setting them side-by-side.
Might need to test the wires. Try the white background, you might have luck. Post pics with white background and we can help.

Most of the Haltech is now wired up. I also managed to find a home for the Leopard 2 tank breather filter! Nestled nicely on the catch can!... I tapped the inside of the aluminum filter and threaded the nozzle to allow it to screw on and off!

Coolness! You've reached the point where the tools necessary for working on your motor are more like an electronics tech than an engine mechanic! 

What's in the little tub? Flux? That's not the acid based plumbing stuff, right?

[wheee!]

It’s flux. I have always used it for prepping solder joints in all my electronics. Never had an issue if it’s cleaned properly afterwards.

Who would have thought I’d have a rust free extreme low mileage Z car?!
Tee hee...

Well,  I am making good progress on the wiring of the harnesses and the installation of the new components like the PWM lighting controller for the led dash lights, the push button ignition and RFID remotes, power steering system and the Vintage Air climate control system. Looks like pandemonium I know...

Many thanks to Cap’n Bruce for his support and guidance through some interesting troubles with the wiring. Some of it my fault, some of it factory! Check this harness photo out!...

Well the dash is in. Not fully connected yet, but in. Installing the dash with all the connections is tricky, especially with the new hoses for the Vintage Air. Very tight and all in all it took me about three hours by myself. About 50 install/removals included...

Excellent! Glad to help, and hope the rest of it goes smooth!

You're scaring me!

[wheee!]

I think very little scares you...
