I've run into situations where I could swear the manufacturer just used whatever color wire happened to be laying around that day. In the fore-mentioned MGA, add that to the fact the system was 12V positive ground and it could REALLY mess you up. I can't see the previous posts right now, but the one that first suggested using a multimeter was right on. They can be had cheap and are worth every penny when trying to trace circuitry.

Edit: In fact, black, being (supposedly) negative should be the normal ground in these cars, so green could very possibly be another positive wire for some function.
Hmmmm somebody that actually reads before posting I think we will get along just fine. And don't worry I get over being pissed off fast and some of the guys that pissed me off the worst are now my best cyber buds.
@timmydatooth did you get this figured out yet?
