Ignition wires.

[spydr]

Hey all,
Just after a little help here.
I've got a 1995 Nissan Cefiro and I'm wanting to install a keypad with a code on the ignition so you need the code to drive it.
Problem is, I don't know what the wires that are on the plug in the back of the ignition barrel do.
Does anyone know what color the wires are and what they do?
Failing this, does anyone know where I could find a wiring diagram that would tell me what i need to know.

Cheers

Since most people here have Maximas, THe wire colors might be different, but heres what I did without a wire diagram. I just took a wedge bulb, (a 194 bulb will do) and take some wire, and wrap a piece of wire around each terminal. (Essentially making a ghetto test light) Then strip each of the wires on the barrel and touch one wire of your test light to the wire on the barrel and the other just put on a metal surface as a ground (you can actually use the ignition barrel itself if you want, then put yuor key in and turn through each thing, ACC/IGN, etc, and when you find the light that lights up when you turn the key to the on position, then you've found your wire..

I know, really ghetto, but I was 17 at the time and had no tools.


Still have no tools... :o(

It may be ghetto, but it really works. Although I'mn ot sure if the explanation is clear, if not, I can explain it again.

Thanks for that.
It may be ghetto but it beats what I did which was to hotwire the car But for some reason, I could hotwire the car using the wrong wires?
As a result, I initially cut the negative line instead of the start one
Oh well, you live and learn I suppose.
