Question of you w/electrical knowledge...

I bought a new propane gas alarm. The colors of the two wires to the old one are: red and black. Colors on the new one are: yellow and white. Do I connect the new yellow one to the old red and the new white to the old black? Or, vice-versa? Need your help! Thanks, Larry

    Yellow is typically positive DC on boats. Did you get a detector rated for marine use?

    So which way was it?


    A 'senior moment' I suppose. I was wrong about the color of wires. The new alarm has red and black wires and the wires out of the MH are yellow and white. I was able to cut the wires with a male plug off the old alarm and attach it to the new alarm then it simply plugged into the old female MH plug.
