Your best bet is to get yourself a 12V testing light and test out which wire is hot when the key is on ACC.

Yeah just use a testlight and tap in from the fusebox. Connect the wire to the side of the fuse that does not read hot when the fuse is fulled.

Just take the wire to one end (thats exposed) and go see if your amps on. If not try the other one. That should help yah
