How do I find the ignition wire in my car?
My car’s been having some troubles with the ignition lately and I’m wondering if there’s a connection problem. How do I find the ignition wire for my car?

That’s definitely something to check out if your car is having trouble starting. To find the ignition wire, you’ll have to go into the ignition switch harness in your steering wheel column. Older vehicles have pink or yellow. If you have trouble identifying the wire on your own and the car manual or internet aren’t helping, the best way forward is to take your car in for a repair.
Ignition wires can crack or wear out over time, so it’s a good idea to check them and replace them as needed during your
regular maintenance routine
. However, there could be other reasons your car is having trouble starting:- A dying or dead battery
- Loose or corroded connection cables
- A bad alternator
- Problems with your fuel tank
