My friend, who is a new Extra, says the red wire goes
to the minus terminal, but that can't be right because it's
opposite of how I hooked my CB. What wire goes
where? Thanks


Cross posted to multiple newsgroups, a dumb question, and a mention of CB
in the same message. This has got to be a troll. But, in case it isn't,
unless someone has messed with the wiring, the red wire almost always goes
to the positive (+).

They're colored so you put the right wire on the voltmeter on them.
Just match the color.
