The colour coding in a thee pin plug ist to ensure correct connection of the wires. Three pin plugs contain an Earth (green and yellow or green), a Neutral (blue or black) and a Live (brown or red). The live pin of the UK's standard three pin plug also contains a fuse (depending on eqiupment between 1A and 13A) so that if there is an electrical fault or power surge the fuse blows and protects the user from being electrocuted.

220 Pressure washer with a 4 wire plug red black white green and want to change it to the 3 prong dryer plug?
I wouldn't advise it. Your pressure washer has a four conductor plug for a reason. It requires its two hot conductors providing 220 volts, a neutral which is likely being employed in a small circuit board or safety switch and an earth ground which is needed to provide path to ground for stray current and short circuit protection. Don't reinvent the wheel.
Where can you get wiring diagrams for the radio system on a 2001 Echo with a 1.5 and for a Kenwood CD deck?
There are three plugs in the back of an Echo radio. Before I blew the fuse, this is what I had figured out. The black one, of course, is the antenna. The other two plugs are white(5 wires) and blue(8 wires). The white plug is mainly speaker wires. The blue plug has speaker wires and the power and ground wires. White plug: Black and Gold wires --- right speaker(not sure front or back) Red and White wires --- left speaker(not sure front or back) (Not sure about the white/green striped wire) Blue plug: Purple and Pink wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) Green and teal wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) (Not sure about the green wire) Power in blue plug: Grey wire --- Main power(thru ignition) Teal/yellow striped wire --- Accesary power(constant for stations or clock, etc...) White/black striped wire --- Ground As far as the Kenwood, I don't know. That's the wiring, now if anyone can tell me where the fuse is, I would be ever so appreciative. [Fuse box is located below the steering wheel and to the left, in a storage compartment, you must pull back the plastic cover labled "fuse" and the diagram is on the back of that cover. The ACC fuse is for the radio & cig lighter power.]
Where is the wiper fuse for a 85 f 250?
On this model, the wiper fuse is a circuit breaker in the wiper switch. There is a Blk/lt-grn wire (black light green), that has power from the ignition switch feeding the wiper switch. Check at the switch plug to make sure you have power coming in on this wire when the ignition switch is on. If you need more info, send me a message.
