Ignition System color?

Ignition System color?

• A. Green cables
• B. Black cables
• C. Blue Cables
• D. White cables

Answer: (B)

Ignition system cables are color-coded to help technicians identify them quickly, especially since they carry high voltage to the spark plugs. In UH-60S maintenance conventions, those ignition leads are color-coded black. That single, consistent color makes it clear which cables belong to the ignition circuit, reducing the chance of misconnecting them with other electrical or fluid-system cables during inspections, circuits tracing, or when replacing parts. The other colors listed would typically correspond to different systems or harnesses, so using them for ignition leads would cause confusion and increase the risk of errors. The important takeaway is that black identifies the ignition path, aiding safety and efficiency during maintenance.
