Best Answer

A blue wire preforms the same function as the 'hot' (black) wire. I believe that it is used for lower voltage circuits. (Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this.) Red, on the other hand, is found in some circuits where 240V is broken down into 117V applications (i.e. electric clothes dryers).

Other than white (common) wire and Green (ground) wire, black is used as the primary load (hot) wire; different colored wires denote different circuits within an appliance.

Pull the wire off the spark plug, pull the spark plug out, plug the spark plug back into the wire, then have someone turn the engine over. You should see a blue spark jumping around the very bottom of the spark plug.

If it has the factory tow package there is a blue plug under the left side of the dash. It should be all the way to the left up against the firewall. If the blue plug is there the dealer can sell you the matching plug if you do not have it. If the plug is not there, you will have to run your own wires to the rear.
